slithering just like a snake
with fur and four legs...

The ball point's mightier than the sabre,
Mine's spring loaded and I've got paper....

there is a herd of texas cattle
who volunteered to fight in the battle
for big bovine
they sure can march in line
and all carry a sabre to rattle...

Champagne!
In victory one deserves it
In defeat one needs it !

Stand back while my sabre swings!
Cowards just stand aside and take to the wings!...

lost in a dirt-path
amidst the thickets of forest

I enjoy all four seasons to see
And yes, all the leaves that long to be
On the other side
Darth Vader resides
His light sabre destroys all the trees

Enclosed box
swiftly opened,
allowing mouth

Ready now--

Trump and Next Door Neighbor

Trump has affected next door neighbor;
Over many things he does like to labor;
Whole world upset,
With Trump you bet;
While being so shifty and rattling sabre.

Harsh winds, salt spray
familiar weight of bloodstained sabre 
hanging in a pilfered scabbard
one voice among the mayhem heeded
FULL SAIL - CAPTURE THE WIND
LEST WE BE O'ER TAKEN
BEWARE THE SHOALS!

Fitting like second skin,
far better than what he
finds in the closet. Now 
feathered, a Mardi Gras;
floating on dance of lies.
False hopes of romance masked,
For this man's lonely schemes.

Fingers curl,
Wrapped around your breast
As that smile enters  my eyes.
I gesture back with awkward hands, yet
There’s no need for you speak---
My heart understands
Unsaid words.

 Leaping into the fog of night
chirps brightly , acapella
to awaken an instant thrill
with moistened wing-pads flicking--
a bug wiggles like a ribbon
caught now in my glassy jar!

BY THE RIVERSIDE

As I sat by the riverside,
Calm and running wild
Deep inside of me, waves clash
Sabre-rattling for supremacy

As I sat by the riverside,
Blurred images, fleeting past
Renaissance, reminiscence
Pruning past histories

As I sat by the riverside,
A macabre dance of swords
Flash of imagery...

The hearth of
russet swirling
down the red pool,
 
cascading into the
drenched heath of
silhouetted blue.
 
Rivulets of brimming
dark curves trotting,
along the spires of
veiled hues.
 
The sabre palms
brooding in sober 
silence.	
 
The groping stream
gazing over the lore
of the vivid sand....

Seagulls roost on a dock
With calming tweets of song
But I wobble along
As night quivers 

Fleeting birds reel below
While tide swishes away
Lonely like wings of day
Mocked by despair

This pier screams for Bella
Her hair feathered in gold
Waved ruffles to behold
I drown---she’s gone.

Sabre rattling between sides will not fly
Especially when the stakes are high
Then North Korea continues to launch rockets
With missiles towards another country or over it

It makes no sense to continue in this manner
But it hasn't stopped North Korea waving their banner
So now we wait and wonder if they will stop
Or whether we go to war to Kim Jong-um's hop.

With claws like those of a Lioness,
  Beaks like those of an Eagle and
  Horns like those of a raging Rhino, 
  All in one entity
  He looked helplessly as they 
  Swooped on him from from all directions
  No where to run no where to hide;
  With eyes shut, expecting the inevitable
  As they pounced on him, he woke up with a 
  Scream.
  Lo!!! It was just another scary dream.!!!!!...

Hold a Grudge and Never Budge

do like eating fudge
have been know to hold a grudge
never ever budge

of honor she was maid
down the aisle in big parade
big bucks parents paid

when his heart pounded
shaky is how he sounded
heard he had drownded

when we would labor
was at war with my neighbor
we drew our sabre

delightful with charm
happiness causes no harm
even found on farm...

A wail escapes from its bow

Each note rising, ebbing

To cut into my pinch of ache;

While strings quiver on flesh, 

A wail escapes from its bow.

  music lessons in high school. Since then, 
  I got hooked on this instrument; 
  a valuable possession.

oh, this grinding surge
roaring into battle,
how the air is filled
with the sabre rattle;
how the sky is blacked
by fires in their burning,
how the townships sacked
by counter-strikes returning;
how the guns and shells
through the air are streaming,
how the tolling bells
bleed into the screaming;
oh, the fight for land, 
conflicts over chattel,
how the days are spent
in slaughtering the cattle....

Deliver Down River and God Is Giver

always deliver
down what is wide river
God has been giver

do me a favor
we know now that a neighbor
carries sword in sabre

appeared a skater
ran over alligator
on a fast freighter

was some stoic style
trump on  turbulent trial
which he did defile

ate ball full of fuzz
which always would be because
my cat always does

Honor’s  Sabre
He lay a bleeding on the ground,
The sword had cut him all around
And blood flow from his wound, it wound,
Death, it seemed in progress.

Adrenaline pumped, he rose once more,
The Sabre’s slashed, then, he did score,
Opponent lying on the floor,
But I do perhaps, digress.

Honor was the reason for,
The Sabre’s slicing, blood n gore,
Men of honor fighting, sure,
Blood letting, is the,
Witness.

         Love's Death

Held by the claws of sorrow,
To weep through sabre eyes,
Beckoning hope tomorrow,
In wishful thought she cries.

Once I was your flower bright,
Eyes that never wayward gazed,
Lips that shied all other knights,
A Heart of silk that never fades.

I cradle memories in my eyes,
A candle flickers in the wind,
Upon my shoulder, alone to die,
Voices whispering in the wind.

'Til Loves death blows our candle out.

As a sabre,so you strike
through the evil in the night
splitting bone and flesh
asunder
flash of lightning
roll of thunder

  Go redeem the maiden's
manor,
Go my son and raise the 
banner

 be the flame now
be the spark
white pure knight
against the dark

  Nay? but what say you
instead?
dost thou hide beneath
the bed?

  okay it's just that trilogy
Lord of the Rings
just got to me
come on let's play 
some XBOX live
forget all that 
medieval jive!...
