I chose a thicket in the forest

Into
The thicket 'midst
Carpets of blue bell hue-
Hoping the horse didn't loose
A shoe....

lined freezing clansmen shooting
many birds die twice

A song trickles from the thicket...
bouncing off the cowlicked grass.
It tilts its beak toward my whistle...
re-branding the day 
"Bull thistle magic".

From the hued thicket of dawn 
flies the musical bird
in the sunburst sky, 
on the rhythm of its own song,
the whistling crescendo
of the nocturnal nightingale.

A cool dude in Delaware's thicket.
Wrote wonderful poems then said, "Stick it!"
     "I'll write them my way!"
     So what can we say?
You're TOPS!!  I tag you Jared Pickett!!!!...

I heard a noise that sounded like a cricket 
Then once again, coming from her thicket
Soozie cried, "I keep burping."
"No," I said. "It's a chirping!
I'm not gonna touch that sticky wicket."

Out of my mind, back in a few minutes
Adjusting my parameters, can't find 'em in a thicket
Happens now and then
Probably out feeding the hens
My name is Gertrude and my stockings are fishnet...

feathers tickle your funny bone;
water drips 0n your nose;
heartbeats love flows not alone;
your stature thicket thorns smells of rose;

window frames genuflection
eyes closed
reflection of colortones
bold and bright, bent
by early morning light, praise
of knobby oaks
like a rising thicket of fog
noticed only by specularity
of a poet’s repose

replenishing air
keeping the earth fresh
nurturing giants
animal cover
vital place for ferns

verdant thicket
hiding the deer
shading the grass
miracle oak

leafy elm
orange maple
cottonwood

birch
willow

At a spot sufficiently shaded
A predator on the prowl
Concealed itself and waited
for prey to run afoul…

Then, madly, with a dash,
It shot out from the thicket;
Nabbed one prey, in a *flash*
And slapped it with a ticket....

The fatness of your skin insulates
My still small voice infiltrate
To the depth of a thick soul
A mind never regenerated
In my new ways pronounce
And your way is thicket as you chose it
And trod not in ways ancient
Hence peace is vapor...

My trembling feet may venture
Where others dare not go
These fingers touch the blood red thorns
And remind my heart to beat slow

But still the sparrow sings to me
Quietly from the dogwood tree
Echoing across the falling leaves
"Come to me, come to me."...

Cricket Evening
Twilight falls and chirps call,
Sounds delight in moonlight,
Tree frogs burp and conjure up,
Sweet dreams like ice creams,
Warmly listening,  ears are trysting,
Autumn slumber gearshifts summer,
Jiminy Cricket greets nature's thicket!...

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....

This is myi husband!
Not sent by your hands
River, sky, and prayers watched.
Manhattan West viewed test

This is myi husband!
We sing, dance, and dine by rewritten songs, and
Get along not by your hands, but
By thicket, three cords strong.

This is myi husband!

Entangled

Entangled by the thicket of  world,
as dreams in the garden of time.
When did the world begin,
someone has the answer?
That's fine.
But that's only bluff,
there will be no answer,
not now,
perhaps in future days
the answer will come
but who could name it
who will it allow?...
