Premium Member A Giraffe, An Okapi and a Wildebeest

A giraffe, an Okapi and a blue wildebeest
Walked into a bar hoping to have an horde ‘ore feast
A bongo, an Asian water buffalo came in too.
I’ve decided to sneak out. How about you?

Feathered Freedom

there, 
cottage of my old, carefree childhood,

softly 
awash in moist morning sunlight,

nestled 
beneath swaying, shiny palm trees;

yonder, 
knee-deep in flowing, verdant grass,

my black 
water buffalo roams at will,

leisurely 
feeds on freedom while on its back

a delicate, 
white egret slow-dances,

its feathers 
the mountain breeze romances!

Life Is Simple

If you need me
You will find me
In the mountain
Riding my water buffalo 
Flowing the land
For the planting season
If you don't see me there 
Go, search me in the web
I'll be there writing 
These lines you read
You'll see me busy
With my hands
Too busy that I can't let it stop
While I'm still awake
If for a while I'm stuck
I'll be playing chess
With my comrades 
Life is simple as that.

When Sparks Fly

Life cracks me up 
Throwing bricks at my face
Dodging them through the paths of the wilderness
Where the water buffalo roam
Strangers make accusations
or peek into business
Where eyes will be destroyed for piercing through sharp glass
Note to self don't ever look back
Keep pushing through raging waters
Breaking the strong current apart
To the point where grace returns to spark your enlightened poetic heart

Found a grey hair yesterday, it mighta come from the zebra.
People – tryin’ to protect us –keep getting’ closer.
One of ‘em shot Demitri when he got too close to them
as they were trying to get closer to him.
Water buffalo looks tasty…Nah, too much work.
Been waitin’ for an hour to get my hair done
Wash, Set, Die….HA, a little Lion humor.
