Rhoda rode rodeos at
Countless County Fairs
Parents partners and children
Schemed screeched screamed...

I stood there naked in the hall 
Bleary-eyed, as you
Screeched out your fury
I could be on fire for you
But all you do is belch smoke...

There once was a ghost from the past
Who thought being dead was a blast
He screeched down a hall
Causing one girl to fall,
And now her right leg's in a cast!...

There once was a mighty paranoid cat
Quite particular about where she sat
   Perched on a peculiar mound
   She started to poke around
Then screeched ~ beneath it an army of rats...

Oh that blue jungle frog is extra cute I said.
Don’t get near it! Screeched our guide, Ned.
That’s a poison dart frog, he does not play.
Has enough venom to kill our entire troop today....

How about that just sat on our cat
She screeched bloody murder, so sorry bout that
Love this dear sweetie
Made me all weepy
With my hulking big body, I squished our cat flat...

Happy as poop got results of my brain scan
Had a hard time finding it when the scanner began
It sputtered and screeched
Till my bum it did reach
Outta place but “all's WELL that ENDs well” exam

They had a hard time finding it when the scanner began

a howling dawn wind
an owl screeched from the tree top ~
raptor rhapsody

rough river water
rapids tempt hungry eagles ~
dangerous prey dive

grey falcon feathers
hidden amongst forest pines ~
raven nesting raid

The wind whipped
The child spoke
The slipper fell
They called her simple folk

The tire screeched
The moment passed
Long forgotten
Hidden in the past

The painting glowed
The figure moved
The light of life
Impressions of food...

Don’t look now but there are ghouls in the thicket of the yum yum tree.
Naturally my head whirled around, for I quickly wanted to see….
What are you doing? Screeched my annoying cousin, big mouth Vee.
He is a silly goose for warning someone as outgoing as the likes of me....

“I am going to peek out the foxhole!” The squirrel told his troop.
“Don’t call it that!” screeched Finicky Farlane, spilling his soup.
Seriously, it is called that for real, Finicky, said Sergeant McBeal.
They should rename it then, Farlane said, spilling the rest of his meal....

The Rooster that Flew Across the Road 

There once was a rooster named Red.
He hated to get out of bed.
People laughed when he crowed.
So he ran across the road.
Halfway there, tires screeched, he flew instead.

on a broken night
marinated in lost thought
a pen with papers
tried many sweet rhyming shots
they sketched and screeched of weird creeps

never-named poems,
sang them to tunes, sold to fools.
then comes salty preach~
the damn nerve to rob and thrive
off a barely legal child…...

Bogg the steely bug took a smart drug
                                Played silly buggers in Biggie’s rug
                                     Biggie screeched like owl
                                       Hey,No fare, no fowl
                              Big Bogg made Biggie a real humbug...
