Alone

little girl all alone
like a dog without a bone.
birds screech in the sky
I let out a weary sigh
why oh why did she have to die?

Tanka 3

the screech owl dives
from a swift, starless sky
strange sounds stir my calm
as hungry night creatures hunt -
a stranger in my bed

snow swathed twilight woods
     owl’s screech stirs superstition -
          the deer hunter shakes

I'm big and bold and mostly blue
I can be heard from a mile or two.
I'll screech and yell and tell the tale
If you leave peanuts on the rail.

The Speech

The boy wouldn't say his speech
Just the thought of it made him screech
Mom gives him a boost
So, he tries to loose
He suddenly begun to preach

Is free-fall flying
Is flying, falling graceful
under brief control
each yearn for such weightlessness
ends the same way - screech splish splat

My sandals give me 
blisters and this blistering 
screech deafens me.
Don’t get your jacket
It isn’t chilly outside

sat under a waterfall)

The Leech

the tea glass was within his reach
his call for help made the people screech
put the tea glass in my hand
at pool side he was ban
for being a plain old, lazy leech

Biased

There is a fast voice
echoing like a screech
alarming
that nothing now night
or a beast could hunt
now turn
or reverse the bear
since we are some fair
ones free.

American Idol

For the Idol I sang
with a screech and a twang
caused by a cold in my throat
well I passed the audition
but I cured the condition
now they tell me I can't sing a note!

Premium Member She's Gone

a single owl screech
breaks the silence,
the Hunter's moon
waxes blue
ice chills the aging bones-
blowing on the east wind
flurries ,fine and dry
settle on her grave.

Renvyle

Her look begged a thousand begs,
Such that i could not reach
Her as she trawled the stoney beach,
For ragged drowned things,
Such that i could not hear
Her cold water screech.

Suspend Actions of Trump

Suspend Actions of Trump

What we should do is to suspend
Each action of Trump and intend;
Reach a screech,
And him impeach;
Time as President reached an end.

Start To Screech

Start to Screech

What we should do is start to screech;
Trump, Trump, Trump must impeach;
What we do know;
He was a *****;
God another lesson to us did teach.

Beach Fun Run

At beach
With peach

Birds screech
Wants peach

I run
No fun

Red ball
I fall

I crawl
Birds brawl

They eat
My treat

Have none
I run

Birds win 
All grin

Premium Member I Am a Chameleon

Dancing through my day.
Screech!
Things have turned.

That’s okay.
I am flexible.
Tah Dah Tah Dah

Dhramn!
Another glitch.
That’s okay.
Humming a Disney movie tune now.

Premium Member Christmas Surprise

One Christmas whilst decking the halls
My hubby passed out after malls
I heard a loud screech
He jumped out of reach
Cried, “Dear, they were not Christmas balls!”

Gardenstate Parkway

Highway pedals screech as I tread off to saunter near the woods
Gaze lost in spiraling bark, idle with no purpose, blanketed 
The wind brings a spotted butterfly, unannounced with cheer
