Short Waggling Poems

Gray lines become fragmented
twisted around each beat
that pings within this tinman
with stones upon my feet

washed white walls
plastic virgin talks
split tongue keeps waggling
while the Holy Ghosts walks

peppered in pretend
pin it to a shoe
the worth of three words
and your promises, not you...

Softly  spring's raindrops fell,
showering budding Magnola ,
tapping gutter post.
Within their song ,
your slow beating heart was lost.
Pure and true ,best  friends we grew 
Till  fifteen years depart.
And  I recall ,when raindrops fall
A waggling tail, romps in the yard 
and head lap hugs we crossed.......

waddle along wise women
whisper this wayfarer’s wishes
with will and warmth
wind your way- waggling wheels
whiz this way and wear my wit to my wiry wonder

wiggling wave wash my wits
weave my words like a wreath
and wedge them on my winsome would-be
wag my wealthy words whirling wind
waft my wonderful words to my waiting woman...

Listen to poem:

I wish I was a wee Willy Wagtail.
I've always wanted a tail to wag,
and Willy, really struts his stuff, just so. 
With a wiggle waggle
a parry, on garde, touché!
"Now that's a Tail!"

Willy Wagtail is willy-nilly, with attitude!
Flitting onto branch or wire
waggling his tail all about,
so bossy and belligerent.
"Hey what's your game?"
"Can anybody play?"...

I once had a dream,
Of a paradise wide,
Under the blue, hue sky;
Over the green grass dry,
Wishing past as the turquoise stream.

I once had a dream,
I was a silver knight on a unicorn white,
Soaring above a red, jet kite;
Unto a far-fetched coast, waggling` Goodbye’
Wishing past as the turquoise stream.

When will she learn to play, to rise the spirits?
Ancestral spirits yearn for the old glories -
Where forth the strength occupies vacuum;
Despair filled it well!

Let's dance to the sonorous voice of the strings
Let it call out the feeble days
Renounced with a tether that blows the mind
Shattered it seems - the fire
The lights it shire!

Let's dance to the rhythm
Waggling tails
For hunger of it, our souls cry out for!...

Little red kite,
little red kite
It's  sunny and bright
Fly high in the sky
Fly low in the meadow.

Little red kite, 
little red kite
Let’s chase the sunlight
I’ll hold your string
And make you swing.

Little red kite,
little red kite
So cute and light
I love your ruffled tail
Waggling like a whale
Moving up and down
To the left and to the right.

~when honey bees dance
                       waggling provocative tail…

Honey Bee (Apis mellifera)
The honey bee, Apis mellifera, is one of several species of bees 
that produce honey.
 The waggle dance, an elaborate series of movements by a worker bee, 
informs other bees where the best sources of food are located....
