bare bleached bones shining
vapored vision of verglas ~
horned owl screeches surge
(February Full Moon – Cherokee)
Sometimes
silence screeches its pain-
louder than the wind
howling its sears
near your ears.
“Hadi Ebrahimi Roudbaraki”
AJ strikes his leg.
His mom screeches
Grab the soup he says!
His mom is quick to cover the splinters bruise
leg his strikes AJ.
she gives a great scolding
her angry trills give me chills
apparently we upset her when we peeked in the nest
her screeches make hair stand up on my neck
she watches the stars
embraced by warm evening air
a barn owl screeches

in violet dawn
he screeches a world awake
barnyard bugler struts
the sun is coming
and he's the first one to know
blooms and butterflies
red rooster so bold
like desert cactus flowers
and amber at noon
Listen to poem:
When shovels scrape
and make screeches
like fingernail grates
on blackboards,
you know the job
is almost done.
As shovels designed to scoop,
when flipped over and made to rake,
shriek their embarrassment.
Azzure night calls
rush blurry eyes
Pigeons came a calling
Waterloo I curse you
morning came a sneaking
The unaccustomed scratch gilded fear
Suited clad
screeches the acceptable
Strange exiles disowns the Thames
astral visitor
spies the pets first
dogs begin to growl
cat screeches and runs
sleepy sister wakes up
thinks she is dreaming
goes back to sleep
she is not ready yet
to see beyond the veil
she may never be
her sister floats away
It brings tears enough for an ocean
It screeches of disdain
It tests our greatest fears with horror and vain
It speaks only truth of misery that makes us slain.
It is only a muzzling shadow which in the end
Makes us stronger but never tamed.
An ambulance screeches to the hospital entrance,
In a mortuary van lies’ the father, such a senseless
Accident - child bleeding is rushed into theatre
The surgeon arrives’ goes up the elevator,
Sees patient, this is my son, operating would be reckless!
Sometimes Sister Sarah seems subjugated
Sometimes she seems simply silly,
Sometimes she suddenly screeches shrilly
Sometimes she sounds sophisticated,
Sometimes Sister Sarah shrugs surreally.

[playing with words when my muse
was stubbornly aloof!]
When the owl screeches
and the wolf howls,
the mouse lies quietly in the field.
Is it the influence of the moon,
a demonstration of anger,
or celebration?
For the mouse cares not
the reason.
His destiny the same,
whether the owl or the wolf,
he fulfils their need.
Almost weightlessly you glide across the waves,
with the wind our friend and foe.
Using nature as the power of our ways,
hoping the waves stay low.
The mast cracks and screeches,
when the wind shows her fury.
Then you wish for beaches.
SUMICLES my boat you are anything but dreary.
She dubs
worn thin
sounds
that assault
bounce back
further spread
in barbed spikes
of dark and
ruby delicacy
mutters
of consternation
furthermore,
panics
she will
break or
go down
in tears
screeches
fill her
dreams
her mouth
her ears

Again she steps out
Oh,
Fresh banana...!
She screeches,she beckons
Blinking,winking.
Acrobatics.. .
Monkey,if tales befet fate
Who cares?
They hop from tree to tree
They wink or blink to serve
They twist or couch,to catch.
In the twillight,they bluff
In the forest,they swarm.
“When the owl sings, the night is silent.” – Charles de Leusse
The midnight darkness starts to settle over the river bay
As a great horned owl glides across searching for its prey
The moon illuminates the hungry raptor's wings in flight
As his screeches hauntingly echo along the river tonight
The truth is whispered in the wind.
A lone eagle screeches
Calling out
"Remember the persecuted".
Men, women and children
cast out
Into the Scottish winter.
Despairing to God
Sheep now graze
Over the dereliction.
Scottish blood
Still spatters the heather.
Amen
The wind freed
The trees of speech
A welcomed song
I do beseech
Of echoed moans
And lonely screeches
Of ocean skies
And seagulls screeches
My lonely heart
Cried for silent nights
To stop their pain
And grieving slights
Where nature sings
Beyond our realm
Quiet is aghast
No captains helm
up by the window stair
the night owl screeches by
out in the opal night
stretching across the sky
up by the old tin roof
i hear the lady call
out in the darkest night
she bids me to fall
up by the paling moon
when the nightly death does spake
out in the cold cold night
the lady comes my soul to take
unhurried buffalo sits in a corner of the prairie
watching things happen in slow intervals
hearing birds' tweets, cheeps, screeches and whistles
enjoying the sun warming his back,
recognizing nature's beauty in a soulful way
understanding the season and the climate
thanks to God's gift to him of many observant years
Walking in street lights
Loud screeches of fancy cars
People want to go.
Whispers turn to scream
Mad people making wild cheers
Wild sounds everywhere.
Glowing traffic lights
Playing different colors
Trucks are passing by.
Just no direction
Where they are about to go
A busy night life.
note: 2nd attempt
And for my next trick
Suicidal dive leaves
My friend wanting and waning
The Aramaic idol screeches
Madly amidst patrons
Committed to higher levels
And flavors of consciousness
And as silence groans quickly
Among those needing to exhale
I consider where the journey
May lead me next
When all I know is
Sometime is left to come.

Priss As A Peacock
Priss as a peacock
proud as I am,
I prance ore the garden
waving my fan.
Proud Senorita
crown all in tact,
waddles and wades
train trailing back.
Glorious gait
eyes all a glow,
regal and royal
she puts on a show.
Till one small flaw
Her neck stretched up high,
She screeches an opera
Like one who has died.
Horns blowing; noise
everywhere,
Screeches of brakes,cars
trapped,
Drivers and car owners raining
abuses and slagging each
other off.
The warden waving his hands;
Stood in the middle of the
road,
Religiously performing his
duties.
Workers, traders,
teachers,students, everyone's
hurrying,
Each taking the slip road to
avoid been late.
