Short Roosts Poems

upon each moment
roosts a peacock- fully fanned
veiled from trite peruse
as keen eyes pause and ponder
the faint outline of feathers...

Rooster ~
     Pecks the dust, raising 
   Particles, pebbles
 Earth.

       Hen ~
     Comes around
  Roosts with him.

With hops, pecks and scattered flights
Eating unlucky bugs and earliest worms
Bright blue eggs holding future roosts
Nests made with symetrical intricacies
Guarded postures showing orange chests
Avian state symbols in Wisconsin trees...

Ghosts and Crows

A crow flew past me.
Close and fast.
The breath from her wing
Smelled of roosts and
Broken roofs
And ghosts in
Forgotten rooms
Where love was made 
And children played.
But not these days.

Flying home that night
The crow dropped a feather
At my door.
Was it for luck or love,
Or something else?
Something I don't know
Anymore?...

serene turns to bloody
lullaby whipped to scream
if you've ever watched 
your mother die
you'll know what i mean

goodtimes are soon forgotten
friends just drift away
death roosts in the brain forever
i guess we're born that way

who is this diadem 
that gives then steals away
puts birthstones in our garden
then swiftly cuts it all away

but its not for me to ask?...

Early morning,

new, deep, snow

sunlit in the Garden,

covering the lonely woods.


Suddenly descending,

a mourning dove flutters,

roosts in the Tree.


There in a mere few moments:

another mourning dove returning,

perching, restless, cooing:


Cold, heedless solitude

sloughed off,

like the needless snow

the doves shake from their feathers....

Skylark roosts in oak
Singing through the smoke
Of misty clouds passing by
Music of the dawn
Shared with spotted fawn 
Pleasures that delight the eye

Skylark flies above
Crooning about love
Soaring through the gloomy morn
Sunrise beckons eyes
Twinkling at the guise
While the bird whines of a warn

I soar from the embers of the life
coincidences
grasping the ladle of passion 
in my exact part
a butterfly roosts to my left
ponder on the shrubs 
that lives in me
what do they ever emulate
lost paired on havoc, they
keep me mellow
nagging sensations
traverse the deepness 
of love and pain
fantastic mates
life dwells below 
your carapace quality

Pretty puzzle peeps
Etch looks so deep
Pop primal poise
Ply crispy voice
End with sad face
Ripe moments trace


Play curious stare
Entice fond touch
Prize enough fare
Please fluffy fudge
End echoes air
Rich bark moves much


Plot playtime pooch
Effort sighs snooze
Plot petting smooch
Pass naughty noose
Explore each ooze
Real rapture roosts

Ask ample aid
Ply pretty paid


Looks linger long
Set succinct strong


Craft charming cheer
Nurture nice near


Bright blooming boost
Rich rapture roosts


Live lovely light
Bear blossoms bright


Seek simple stay
Set sublime say


Mind movement meek
Sense subtle seek


Arouse apt art
Hurl healthy heart


Life laughter loud
Prize profound proud
