Premium Member Alive At Night

coyotes howl
desert comes alive at night
I shiver

rats shaking tin cans
junkyard comes alive at night
I cringe

wild zombies dance
graveyard comes alive at night
I turn tail

screaming bobcats
woods come alive at night
I run like mad


Do I Or Don'T I

In the dark of the night,
Or path of the sun,
Do I continue the fight,
Or turn tail and run,
Choices to make until the battle 
is won.

Open my eyes,
Or blind my sight,
Embrace my cries,
Or into the light,
Choices to make until I win the 
fight.

Premium Member Turkey Dinner Turn Tail and Run

A wild gobbler strutted into the woods,
it did not see all the camouflage hoods, 
straight into a turkey shoot; 
trips over a gnarly root, 
with ruffle feathers made off with its goods.

Love's Not For Me

Somewhere down the road yonder
Will I find my love I wonder...
Better not to go and see;
Oft love rips your heart asunder,
Nah, I shouldn't repeat the blunder,
I'll turn tail and flee!

I once walked this very road
But endured a heavy load
in my heart of grief;
I better stick to my code
Lest my peace again erode-
Must turn over a new leaf!

COPLA TREINTA Y SEIS: This Bad Guy World

On the international plane
Yi Jing’s advice might even fail:
Lone man lame duck

Engage not the enemy lone
Bad Guy on his own will turn tail:
Let run out luck

On the grand scale the enemy
Must jointly be brought down on knees:
By year seven

Past this ridge evil will levy
‘Sweat and blood and tears’ as first fees:
Besmeared Tian/Heaven
