Of great minds
And repaints them
Then signs all over

Hyena is a scavenger.
He eats what others leave:

So while he’s watching Lion hunt,
He’s laughing up his sleeve …...

I got to tell you about this dig
It made me dance the jig
I did it by night
With no one in sight
Out of my nose it was bloody big...

I am a collector of natures splendors
Rocks, sand, plants and feathers,
Around the world they come together
All in one place for me to treasure....

Coyotes are scraggly, ugly too
Eating carrion and roadkill overdue
She is a scavenger and a prey thief
Jackals enjoy kill until she makes it brief...

A lion roars
And there is fear;
He scatters hoards
With eyes so fierce.
Provoked by lords,
His wrath will pierce;
Scavenger soars
When fools are near....

The corrosion of caring creeps up at last,
Rust all around your heart
As flakes of red-brown flutter, powdering down,
Filling the scavenger cart
Of ashes and dust from the past.
It rolls away, fickle and fast....

The eagle broods upon the nest
and gets upset and moody

"Would that I were a youngling still
like mine upon their cradle

no strings attached
no feeding times

and I a free scavenger..."

One day
I saw
Up high
Above, a
Discernable shape
Of a Golden Eagle,
Scavenger supreme,
Gliding solitary,
Amid a sky
Of cerulean hue.
Suddenly,
It veered left,
Diminishing,
In height,
Then sight,
Finally receding,
Beyond
The Mountain
Of Bennachie....

white veil over head 
chocolate feathers full fledged ---
benedictine nun?

karambit knife beak
dissected longan fruit eyes --- 
elliptic airplane?

scavenger for  prey 
dead and alive you enslave ---
fancy in bird form?

Question
Is it a myth
The Death Dancing Butterfly
Large elaborate graceful
       Eerie
Scavenger deadly unusual
Rare mystical species
Lethal insect
Romance

dainty scavenger floats down
onto a mystery orb 
peeks through her pretty window

wondering at the sheer beauty
of this effervescent petal
something mystical about her

An anomaly in the woods
Possibly grown by the 
Felled tree

Never saw a full grown oak
landing in this spot before
A magic moment...

Grateful for your love
Ratchet old cottonwood tree looks dried out and dead to me
Winters temperatures scavenger cold long Robin perched above
O' behold what a wonderful God who provides for them and us
       --Always

So thankful
I AM soul grateful for His love

elbows
down
turn
slowly
out

fire-brigade
to
curb

met
sharply
on

to
urine
screaming

waiting

only my soul knows
how to find my purpose in life
life has been a scavenger hunt
It began as an adventure
seeking to find answers 
to so many questions
while on this journey
I came face to face with situations
and at that moment
I knew what path to follow

A monstrous vulture
Wants the more some torture:
A blistered body further rupture;
The carrion give a worse picture 
That should still stick after a future…
It never shall worth a camera’s capture:
Every pulsating but nauseating culture,
The body- jolting which scavengers nurture:
Champions of the bad table manners of The Immature....

Thank you teachers for teaching us 
Thank you teachers for being there for us
Thank you teachers for everything that you do
Without you we would be stuck like glue
A big thank you for teaching us on zoom and for the sleepover
Your memories in my heart will never get over
I think the scavenger hunt was sweet 
It felt like we were in for a treat...

I am liquid moonlight;
The ashes of dreams.
I am the realization of the impossible;
The renunciation of thought, serene.
I am the swimming seasons of time;
The memories yet to come.
I am the flawless equilibrium of the outcaste scavenger;
The infinite equanimity of the illuminate sun.
I am the embodiment of dispelled desire;
The sage.
I am the squire....

Goodbye friend indeed
For I wish not to say this
Class has given the verdict
Coins have won the battle
Thus they say
Inferior is my clan
They say I am a gold digger
They called me a scavenger
They say rag is my skin
I tell you
I wish not to be an eminent of pauper
Fingers are not equal
All fruits don't ripen the same time
Oh fate!
Partiality is your name....

I scorn the scowls
of winter’s reaper
steel slicing scythe
his corded calamity!

Who grabs the life
from my chest
a killing clutch
his murderous glee!

Cold stagnant breath
rots my cheek
putrid frigid blight
his icy stagnancy!

Loud howling voice
a solemn knell
the endless tolling
his ringing revelry!

Oh scavenger of
dark March day
die a death
so set me free!...

In pursuit of dreams
Soak it with desire 

Absorb integrity and wisdom
Wring it all upon
Each soul having the
Privilege of
Brushing up against 

Continually scavenger hunt
Nit pick if necessary
Each lovely glistening
Fragment on this earth
Which ignites
The depths within 

Bare demons
For this is the only
Way to face them 

They will become
Embers that thaw
Your path...
