Rooting for zany and cunning Daffy Duck
wrong place wrong time ~ somewhat of a schmuck
at the wrong end of Elmer Fudd’s gun
not much fun to always be on the run

The moonlight of spring runs fast
Into its sensuous nightingale,
As the fading shadows break out
In some kind of wretchedness
Rooting backward if it were against my face
What an astonished contemplation!

trying to re-grow
that which now seems dead

Long List of Presidents
Of Presidents had looked down a long list;
Reached end and no names were missed;
Rooting then tooting,
Was always for Putin;
Declared current President a Communist.

Organic mass
made of ripening sexual energy
As time revolves Earth's power
light and dark unfolds
bright green reforming
blue sky grass
Mourning misty meadows
surrounding
and surrendering
fragrant sassafras.

Something peculiar human belief
A driving force rooting deep
Right or wrong
As one believes
Right and wrong to keep
Right one thinks
Wrong one another
A clash in between
Right to make wrong
Wrong to take right
Very peculiar,human belief

The Medallion
I have searched the Earth for Mankind's birth
Stumbled across some petrified wood in the southeast
Inside was a medallion carved with strange markings
An inscription that said, we came in peace

Third shift- early morning
three quarter moon
a skunk lifts its tail
flashing its shooter.
Rooting caffeine and cheap gas
this cluster of cops must be bored.
Staring at me like I'm going to rob the place.
Because of this ffin -yellow tinged mask-

Roots underneath our feet preserve historical days old
War and thunder peace, joy, laughter and love
Collecting all these images in its magical fruit
Shines by sunlight and dines in moon-light
For all the living; to observe its beauty

Map Mishap
While driving had looked down at my lap,
And would end up having a map mishap;
So off road ran;
Not part of plan;
When I fell asleep my face needed a slap.

Will pull together
And we will be rooting for
Both God and His Son.

Turning time and darkened footprints
Paved promises and lost calls
Wilderness songs and wishful thoughts
Arrivals at the common cause
The seasons merge and we wrinkle
Skin rooting deep into history
Sharpened eyes and tired fingers
Grasping for words or a fable

Lonely days filled
The voice of I cans
Starting is almost finished
That's what they say
Lining up in A B C's
Simply working
Toe to toe deeds
Moving from left to right
Angling for the opening
Looking for the knock out punch
Jump start
The planting
Rooting new beginnings

I remember the grand parades
Memorial and Independence Day
All their pomp and pageantry
Many faded jeans ago, so far away
Our boys in uniform we'd be saluting
For the good ole USA we'd be rooting
Now it's political rancor at barbeques
~ From either end we're tooting

The old lady expels a sneeze that travels the length of the stadium
Landing with a salty splat on observers who are rooting for the other team
Yes! Yell her comrades, not realizing the other side has nuclear weapons
And little notion of how unleashing them may hurt the whole stadium.

Abandoned Tree
My heart aches, I miss your loving touch
I'm am a abandoned tree with many roots
Because the pain in my soul runs deep
I was once alive, such a lovely sight
But now my roots are wrapped in hurt

ROOTS
They came seeking a future not their own
carrying naught but memories too soon to fade
into the substance of a union of hearts.
In leaving left the spitting image of themselves
to gather up their memories lest they fade.

winding scarves on my face
blowing air through my skin
skirting around my legs searching
in my soul rooting out the pegs
of memory of other winds of
time spaceless nameless
places and scenes that are
past and gone lifted up out of
sorrow far away gone gone
long gone free with the wind

We mine the soils with our wooden picks
cutting slower than any human eye can see
digging for ancient minerals in pockets of water
to send above through a vascular cambium highway
we won't rest again until dormancy or death

Rooting for furry ball of fur
He'll never forget the night the white pussy
fell onto his lap. So soft and playful.
With green cat eyes that followed his fingers.
He tickled her nose, feet, belly. She heated
to his touch, purring louder. She was his.

My ancient spirit walks with me through time
Past our old hometown into barbed city existence --
And though sagas of ventures test every flight
This mystic lore from elders to conquer darkness
Stirs a live potion flowing within my bloodline.

This raging toothache is driving me quite mad
I phone the dentist, in such terrible pain
Bad tooth must be extracted by the roots
They have a free space at two thirty
‘Tooth hurty’ - I laugh at the appointment time!

My heritage was birthed from a small seed,
roots of cherry trees could desire no sprout-
A thirsty bud blossoms with a nurturing need,
for without waters of love and faithful creed
descendants would wither away from a barren drought.
