This antique house has old bowels
An attack could give us the scowls
The toilet must flow
And we want you to know
It’s bad if you flush paper towels!

A muddle of voices
all crying foul
Cacophony's in now
budding diplomats howl
Scowls on their faces
deceit in their hearts
tourists buy scorecards
to tell them apart

Times That Trump Growls
There are those times that Trump growls,
And often thinks he is like wise old owls;
Bowels not move,
Or will improve;
Tries to wipe off scowls with his towels.

Great tree / strong limbs jut
Storm comes / hard wind howls
Marred lawn / haul vast bits
Sad view / folks wear scowls

Cranky crusty Codgers
Skeptical scornfully scowls
Youthful yearning Yonkers
Heartful happily howls
Spurned spiteful Spinsters
Graying gracelessly grumbles
Marvelous merry Maidens
Ravenous richly rumbles

"Buff-a-flies!" My tiny granddaughter points
to the black and yellow wings settling around us.
"Butter-flies," I agree with caveat.
She scowls and refuses to speak again
until after dinner time.
Did I learn my lesson? Mostly...

Slam.
Closed, the door locked,
bolts bolted,
window sash fused,
window sash fused.
Vehement and implacable,
the wind scowls
gouging an inescapable path,
splitting and cracking,
branches ache,
binds break,
white flag quivers.
Why resist?
surrender!

There’s a lady dressed in white.
She smiles in the morning light.
There’s a man who’s dressed in brown.
He scowls as the sun goes down.
There’s a girl who’s dressed in blue
Who got her hands stuck in glue.
There’s a boy who’s dressed in red.
It’s not his clothes, he’s just dead.

Cold
shivers
taunt my spine,
chattering teeth
count winter’s cadence
as I await sunrise
watching the high wire sparrows
swaying in the frigid breezes.
Headlights pick their way through swirling snow.
The school bus driver scowls as we linger.

It was lovely once
She use to smile
Laugh and play
She's grown so fast
At me she scowls
Those things have gone away
I miss my little one
My precious girl
Whom I once knew
I'll have to did through barrier
She set up for her mother
Maybe I'll find my little girl to

**************
the soiling scowls of cumulus night
the life soars, and the broken locks blight
he shrugged off fears that pull and ignite
embrace a life ~ of ongoing grief and guilt
his hours brimmed with adamant wilt...

Love pierces the air,
Shatters my view,
I sigh, the sky
Is blue.
The sky is heavy, stormy,
Lightning slices through,
Thunder growls, anger scowls,
I'm blue.
The heaviness in my brain,
Thoughts of you,
Sadness is back, I am black
And blue.
A kiss shared in the storm,
Love that's never true,
Poison sips, my lips
Are blue.

In the evenings
I still wait for you on the right side of the bed
Like as single bird
Perched high on a telephone wire
Stark, Scowls of feathers
Ruffled against a charcoal and disappointed sky
I carved a groove
In the way sounds pulse in wet traffic
Vibrating winter pavements
Yet even in my restless heart
I am something close to warm

Shaken birds shrill cry across darkened sky,
Awaken to the biting cold wind howls.
Taken by flash of lighting pulsing heart,
Forsaken stretch of night as thunder scowls.
Lost in the darkness, of pounding chill rain,
Tossed round from the flicker of leaves and trees.
Accost the meager unvarying light.
Frost thins to a slight glimmer quick to seize.

Sisyphus’ Silence
I sit, a silent, carved-out zone,
A soul entrapped, unlit, unwhole,
The majority’s tide grinds flesh to bone,
While others’ feelings wallow, roll
In mud that clings, a river’s drone.
Sisyphus slumps at mountain’s base,
Scowls at the stone, then dares a smile,
“Nevermore” hums through empty space,
The gods, once loud, now mute, exiled.

They could slaughter you like a fowl
For their women you gave a scowl
Hurt parents met with priests to how!
"Vicar, in football, it's pure foul?"
Don't end up in their stew a fowl,
Your scowls yield the face of an owl;
It's your death with you cheek and jowl,
For your own mum was spared lewd scowl...
Yes, please, leave their women alone;
It has kept hurting every bone.

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 the lobby of the courthouse
People’s demeanor
Are such a telltale
Casual and comfortable
The secretaries
Determined and debonair
The lawyers
Focused and unperturbed
The judges
And then the others
With scowls on their faces
Nervousness and concern
The weight of accusation
The slow ominous pace
Of being led directly
To the slaughterhouse

My love,
When your heart aches.
When your spirit breaks.
When you could float away,
No stability.
I will hold you down.
I will keep you here with me.
I will be your roots,
As the storm beats.
Beats with no sympathy.
For you my love,
I will stand above the crowd.
Beat down the judging scowls.
I'll keep you planted,
Safely here with me.
For you my love.
For you,
My Love.
I do almost anything.

Living in the glorious now, is the only way to go!
Stop thinking, you must be top dog in the show.
What good wearing that golden crown be?
Ignore the most lonely crowd, throwing faux-flowers at thee!
Your true friends will read you, no need to wear a crown.
Write exactly as you choose, care-not, their scowls or frowns!

Furious scowls reveal marked displeasure
Void of joy, she pointed her finger
Muddling through a decayed existance
Cloaked in hostility she sputtered and hissed
While keeping her life clenched tight in a fist
The goddess of war reigns pained indignance
Afraid of losing control, she tightens her grip
Unable to unlock the secret of this spiritual disease
The angry spirit of menacing flesh has thrown away the key

COPLA NUEVE: This Bad Guy World
Bad Guys multiply on their own
Faster even than the microbes:
They fascinate
Though they cannot thrive on their own
They need to feed on Good Guys’ lobes:
Just hibernate
Summer solstice up to Winter
Let them bask fry in howls and scowls:
Feel not pity
Left to themselves they’ll waste blunder
Watch that hip swing from bum to jowls:
Nitty-gritty.

Dramatic Monologue
Some oddly dully think
About their teeth that stink,
When they should’ve sounded some bell
About all not being well.
Some away choose to walk ,
When it has become the talk
And Dental Caries for chalk…
Tactless teachers of it stalk!
Folks who know a face that scowls
And far-off pain that howls;
Of winds in the forest
That understand no rest
And widows who often grieve
Wanting to finally leave…
Care for teeth not by blows,
For A Youth’s orders blood flows.
