A church and a brothel nest
Side by side in place....

do flowers seek uncanny
healing in the light?

black clouds and cold air
loom in the dark afternoon

To say we wish the very best
Uncanny nor uncommon
To actually help to make that happen
Might very well be both...

Who looked like his granny
She was his nurse
The baby was averse
As the likeness was uncanny...

Flame in the air
When there is no fire there
But in the center
Is the dragon’s belly
Waiting to spew uncanny heat
For heat-rock is all it is...

she had to choose this one
she had an uncanny likeness to the woman he had lost
he could not stop staring...

Entirely a taste of perception;
Just a bit, double vision
Add to it, maddening familiar

Va va va, Boom!
Uncanny; already happened...

Who thought that he had a cute fanny
So he switched for his tip
And he wiggled his hip
The tip that he got was uncanny!...

able to 
push

possess an

the

no clue...

Life alas is a journey, 
No straight, a line uncanny, 
Nor straight, say from A to B, 
But circuitous and Zany!

Our Golden Annie can smell bread 
From the other end of the house it spreads
“Uncanny Annie”
Star of our family
Comes bounding in she's got pretty good treads...

His ability to leap tall buildings was uncanny
Going up was no sweat
Coming down posed a threat
His body filled every nook and cranny...

Knick knacks were at the top of my gift list
one stood out and walked over too brisk
slow motion it fell
still intact I could tell
sudden turn with huge purse a high risk!

Hold your life
In the dark sunset.
May you speak of uncanny dreams.
Making mountains out of clay.
Knowing the mountain,
Knowing it's made out of clay,
Knowing it's a dream,
To love,
And to play....

Surely everyone's heard of gamma rays
If there's such a thing as grampa rays, I'd be amazed
But keep it in the family
Resemblance is uncanny
They're now on my who-ha, I'm really ashamed...

The pumpkin rolls eyes in the dark and bounces
along. It’s uncanny how candy flounces.
A boy in a hurry.
Sweet teeth, they should worry.
The dental charge - cavities by the ounces.

Once knew a brave fellow from Miami
His ability to leap tall buildings was uncanny
Going up was no sweat
Coming down posed a threat
Sadly he landed and crushed his poor nanny

Annie, our Golden, is a member of the family
Just like a daughter, it's really quite uncanny
When going out and then on our return
Our love's reaffirmed
Her excitement explodes, our dearest sweet Annie...

The greatest doggie in the world is our “Annie”
An almost human golden retriever, it's really uncanny
Her vocabulary is wide
By our wishes, she abides
At times she's naughty but we put up with her hanky panky...

The windows of the mind,
In the eyes I find,
Written in them,
Is a poem,
Of sanity or insanity,
Of turbulence or tranquility,
Of uncanny mind;
Of patriotic pride,
Of gallant valour,
Of bashful amour,
Of beauty of the Youth,
Of   resplendent Truth....

A desolate isle, where it hurts to smile
buried betwixt mists both eerie and vile.
Forever hidden amongst dwellers of an uncanny guile,
where those who chance stumble here, lost and senile,
art beckoned by a curious fear of no mortal description or profile....

I've seen the cool moves of Surfing Annie
Her ironing board rides are so uncanny!
When she has a wipeout
She blames it on her gout
I'm proud of Annie 'cause she's my Granny
