Focused falcon
Honed huntress hovering
Adjusts; stoops; lands; dispatches
Raptorial...

we was getto
it was no show
no place to go
it was girls and boys
hanging was our toys
we sit and hang loose
ON THE STOOPS...

The falcon is a noble hawk.
His eye-sight is incredible …

He sails upon the breeze, then stoops
To conquer something edible …...

flaming red sky stoops
to touch emerald ocean
waves place blushing kiss

darkness over hills
homecoming birds chirp to mates
fireflies flutter wings...

The wee wee tree where dogs go pee
And all the breeds wait patiently
But not one stoops
To leaving poops
That’s doggie etiquette, you see...

I love my cat
she stand by me
on the stoops

looking the prowl
day and night
and a brush
she scratches me

I love my cat
as she is here
on the stoops
with me...

Life 
Stoops in
Awe of sea. 

The 
Sea yawn
Gulping waves. 

Life 
And sea, 
Twain depends.

... lithesome fawn stops, stoops to drink

    spring water fresh, cool

    and clear



... such graceful creature of art

    with a fat flea behind

    its ear!...

Autumnal power 
Collected a summer of admirers
Now she Stoops to Conquer

Me monkey like watching in awe 
Cast a big stick high into the big tree
Now proudly I Stoop to Conker...

They sit on splintered stoops
sun setting in the hazy dust
coated with the days play
drooping daisies awaiting a breeze.

by a pond so clear,

      a fawn stands, stoops, drinks,

            a flea in its ear ...


            as green lizard hides

                  'neath grasses green,

                        thinks that it's unseen !...

*Voices*
He comes at night
seeks out the week
then he'll bite
daring you to peek
to look closer
you'll soon scream
the terror is over
it was a dream
hearing cry’s
a little child
saying goodbyes

Knights and horses, felling dragons
Aye dear princess here he cometh
Fighting injustice, shunning medalry
Brave warrior of the king is approaching
Abandoning good nature,gallantly nearing
He stoops but a fraction to gather his darling...

I live dangerous
nothing to fear
mingling with the fierce

on the stoops and babies
I am old and they teach me
the smoke of a free cigarette

the booze paid by your taxes
hardly if you spent it to educate
good souls to bare a grudge...

*Masks*
Look deep at all in the room
See there lives
Secret problems
Deep and scared
All for hiding
My pain everyone knows
The lies deep
Deep in your heart
The fake smiles
Jokes and laughs
I wish I had a mask

Like You

I wish I was like you
pretty and everything
no worries just popularity
I want to stand like you.
Look so good and do all so pure
what’s your trick?
I need the guts
to say I don’t need you
I want to be like you

from a car on the stoops a song as he is good
trying to get his wife back hearing the fight every night
and a cop car showing so often but not on my call
it say with a beautiful jazzy voice
I mop and feel wonderful just kidding
washing my floor I mope no thank you...

As my body stoops with age,
youth lulls upon the page

Where words forever young,
cry willful to be sung

As daylight quickly passed,
I greet night a friend at last

With memories deeply grained
—reborn in verse again

There is a lady
In my Soups,
She writes poetry
As she stoops
To think about philosophy
Or talk about life's mystery.
And everytime I read her songs,
I must use the dictionnary
To understand the rights and wrongs
Of her deep dip-in poetry:

I sent her back
A bomb attack !...

*Tired*
I'm tired of being hurt
I'm tired of the pain
I want to yell and scream
until I get my way
I point understood you
but,
you hurt me
I have the lord now
he'll help me through
there'll be
no worries
he loves me so
so deep 
you'll never know
