Bird Talk
He's downstairs in his cage
chirping like a real trouper
canary ramblings,
upstaged
by no other pet,
he's mine....

Picture Prompt Rasputin Putin The Boot In
Rasputin Putin the Boot In
I once had a canary called Rasputin,
Who just loved putting the boot in,
In his cage full of rage,
The aggressor upstaged,
Why, it's where you belong feline Putin....

Moon Sighting
The moon, beautiful
bright, and full at nine PM.
By nine twenty, she was gone.
Upstaged by dark clouds,
she gave way, and disappeared;
But oh, she was most stunning

Living Light
light eternal caged
by ego upstaged
merely needs flame of love
that grace from above
vivifies organic form
with a magnetic bliss storm
if love be our invocation
with dedication
God’s self-existent light
pulsates by day and by night
within...

Spring Spotlight
Spring is upstaged
by the freeze and rain.
Warmth with a slight breeze
is in the back
pressed against fall and summer.
She’s frustrated at the glare
coming through winters frost,
soon the lights will be too much,
as the cold sweats
spring sees its chance and leaps in front.
The audience applauds.

Fall From Grace
swamped by illusions
immersed in delusion
a strange darkness
thoughts in confusion
‘tis the magical way
living light is caged
its pride demolished
by cravings upstaged
demi-gods powerful
choosing paths unjust
on falling from grace
turn thus to dust
a mere wisp of straw
can turn the tables
love alone is real
moral of all fables

model upstages designer gown
gorgeousness of the model outshines the dress
do not misinterpret my meaning please
the dress is an Anya Ayoung Chee, a worthy designer
created from gorgeous fabric, she has tremendous flow, excellent lines
young svelte model’s beauty surpasses this emerald, gold, silver gown
during fashion week, we reporters do not see the gown at all
completely upstaged by the African goddess wearing her...

I Was a Warrior
glorious and tall i stood...
you could lie and say i was king
and still tell the truth
i defeated Attila the Hun
and outwitted Alexander the great
upstaged Julius Caesar.
i crawled through the dunes of Arabia
and splattered them with bandit blood
i took the lives of many
that my people may be safe another day
i fought bravely for my country
and now, Valhalla awaits.
*i know the history is incorrect, but its figurative....

Is That So
responses measured
lose moments treasured
since spontaneity is caged
when heart’s by mind upstaged
and as for heart’s desires fickle
deflected by a mere tickle
it finds that it’s unable
to remain stable
our fall from grace
and sole cause of disgrace
is clearly then bondage to desire
of earthy objects we seek to acquire
save by dissolving our ego in the void
poised as awareness self-aware
we’ll continue to be decoyed
trapped in ego’s snare...
