the trees mounting up
and squatting the vacant lot, 
to rebuild the earth...

        squatting on its own shadow

             motionless, moist toad...

Bengali women squatting

Endless White, billowed dreams of squatting men,
I stretch out to grasp an insubstantial floating sky,
A fluffy purgatory, a Grayscale cycle revolves again
Forever out of reach, I extend arms, choosing to fly....

Moister dripping
With eyes red
Lips quivering
Heart exploding
A soul with unrest

Sparkling eyes dimming
Smile disappearing
Tiny hands upon face
Squatting on her knees
A crushed fathers heart

I did not eat your Last
Peanut butter Cup...

Squatting lakeside
darting swimmers 
at their feet. 

Shouldered burdens
over shadow even 
family time.

Prayers for Peace
carried in whispers
breath after breath.

Gods coloring book
pages of hope,
peace, beauty.

Just inhale
the wonder!...

The tattoos all over the body of that young lady ~
what will they look like when she's seventy or eighty?
I'm afraid the ass of that sweet young lass
smelling flowers above her reclining lover in the grass
will slowly start squatting down on his bearded face, alas....

While squatting down the boy had such
Innocent attraction on display
A handful of acorns loved so much
Each unique, to him in some way!

As an adult what do you see?
Look through a child's eyes when you do
You'll see God's creations are unique
Even when it's just a nut like you!...

Baby’s toe wakes up worried
Shall I carry this big baby?
Always eating lavishly
Drinking and splashing
Biting and spitting anything
Filling stomach to the top
Everything on earth is there
All day playing and filling
All day running and squatting
All day kicking and falling
I am breaking soon
My dear!...

fourteen hundred children woke up and died
the squatting crows watched and waited
soon the many feet stopped stamping
stopped running
a cold clacking caw went up
black wings flew then hopped
amongst the burnt and disfigured
the guns stopped spitting
women came and went
their screams scattered the crows...

tangled leashes
a texting dog walker
                              .....three dogs squatting


loves aces
fourplay in crowded silence
                                       .......mixed doubles match


If Ducks had teeth
                            .......would they clack?

ms dorothy was squatting at 17
We did not mind
We were doing our own squatting at 19

It was a good day to take up residence
We watched her move in
Glad she had found her own place

The drug dealers might scare her off later
But for right now, on this beautiful day
She had a place

We applauded her for it...

Baby’s toe wakes up worried
Shall I carry this big baby?
Always eating lavishly
Drinking and splashing
Biting and spitting anything
Filling stomach to the top
Everything on earth is there
All day playing and filling
All day running and squatting
All day kicking and falling
I am breaking soon
My dear baby you’re heavy...

Sat squatting, you wait
cold as your own mind set.
Is this the church you chose?
 
Illusive is the sanctitude 
that you so feverishly search for.
Yet still you wait,
so patiently in the damp light.

Under duress,
as if the corruption
means nothing.

The blankets on which you sit,
can’t keep the cold
from seeping though....

pulpy punctured passion
pelvics pruning portions
pompous parts palpitating
heaving hoisted feelings
Twain turbulent tumble
tactic trend tremble

vile Vampire squatting
damped desire drooling
voluptuous teeth smirking

laced dripping
trickles; blood splitting
jumpy jazz jostling

feeble flesh foisting
tainted teeth tearing.

Passing the Moon

Flies the wicked witch

Over the White House

Squatting on broom stick


Casting a spell 

Vigorously stirs the pot

Abracadabra 

Collusion it's not


Behind bars

Disciples pay the price

For the love of money

They are the sacrifice


In this witch hunt

Circulating Capitol Hill

It's the Salem trials

All over again...

The adulterous housewife
point fingers 
at the prostitute down the street

How sluggish is the tortoise 
said the snail
yet slow in her own little shell

The toad has no stool to offer
who preaches so?
The squatting jumping frog!

Devil on the pulpit 
preaching repentance
with an unrepented heart 

The log is in your eyes
let be my little sunshade glasses
you holy Pharisee...

Satan in my bowels
All I can say is 'ow'
Cringing and churning
My biscuits are burning
I’m praying for relief
Some sort of lanolin leaf
Wondering why I wasn’t born
Before the devil had horns 
Squatting in the bush
Mourning my tortured tush
Asking when trees portend
Charmin is our friend
So if you hear me cry
Shouting Jalapenos must die
Remember that camping is fun
Except when nature’s on the run...

A bygone thought
It comes back to
Inspire
It arouses my need
to create and to be
creative
Squatting to do the
Chores of shorter
People
Stretching to do the
work of taller folk
thinking to labor
with scholars
Under thought just to
Understand
resistance training
to bulk up
Feeding the muscle
For endurance
a thought contested
My logic
In the creation of flavor
Might I fine satisfied

Likeded or likened too?exercise...

There were subtle declines,
still I opted for incompleteness.

A fierce battle was raging.
I think to start my descent

in roofless castle of mania
to watch the self-destruction of a landscape.

Thousands were squatting on mud tracks.
till the dead rise from their ice beds.

Ghostly hands were building the fire
to send the rivers in exile.

Hunger will decide the fate of the earth.
Man was playing with the sands.

The cloud is darken
her mind is harden
as the sun took it's dinner
with a heavy heart
while on a black hat
the cloud get thicker
the evil onces is dancing 
to d sound of a strange music
to victimize the innocent
squatting became her next 
option
to her it was pre fed to sitting
there was a light voice
like a thunder blast
followed with a bright lighten
frighten and ticking away her 
heart
like a time bomb
it was just a night mire...

I want to camp on the island
Hear the loons on the lake
Feel the breeze in the trees.

I want to see the pretty moon hiding the bush
Like a giant cyclopes squatting on the lake
And think the moon will sees me under her grace.

I wonder how images capture
The deep feeling of a photographer
See the beauty being vividly taken pictures.

I will just think the good things today
Cherish all good moments yesterday
And reserves my smile tomorrow.
