The old dog spied a cat
Fast asleep under a tree
He yawned and sighed then slept...

Here comes the snow
      (Sob)... There goes my lawn
  Yogi the Bear's peeked out his cave
      Stretched ~ and yawned a big yawn...

The moon yawned
  The wind roared
  The earth is fond
  of my heart that soars.
      The rivers all run
   The trees dance
   Nature as one 
   Love by chance....

There once was a poet so tired
She tried writing though quite uninspired.
	She rubbed eyes and she yawned
	‘Til it finally dawned
On her – she lacked the spark she required....

Willy's hair looked like a ragged old mop
His loving wife told him, 'Go get it cropped!'
  He sat down in the chair
  Yawned, 'I've got hair to spare' 
Willy woke up with a shiny bald top...

The gates of Time yawned back,
And let the Western seas attack,
Hurling tidal waves
That turned the towns to graves.

Atlantis sank before—
And then the California shore
Settled out of view
Below Pacific blue....

O for a world at peace;
Heat of its rage, past.
We're nigh. Its the dusking hour.
Shadowing prey's last.

Skipping o'er battlefield facts
Unquenched in faces
Look! How tame in the moonlight
Roaring's yawned traces....

This is today's news:
A sinkhole swallowed a man whole
as the earth yawned

in the ancient land
of monsoons and man-of-wars
after the waters

ceased. One was portrayed as 
man suddenly gone, captured
live for us to see....

Once I had the opportunity
For hard-earned, sweet success
But I yawned instead and spurned my chance
To labour and progress

And so my potential festered
Scorned sourly in defeat
Now I am left with vinegar
In place of honey sweet....

It's nice out.
It's sunny.
Warm.
and funny.

I ran.
Have fun.
And skate.
with my mate.

We got tired.
then got hired.
to mow a lawn.
then we yawned.

We went home.
I got something to eat.
it was a treat.
then we went to sleep....

awakened by sounds
of roosters crowing—
a dog barks

yawned, cloudy skies
seen thru windows
birds chirping

coffee is ready
things to do—
they can wait

was bored with the military’s handling of her.  Day after day of
interrogations and discussions for weapons or space travel.

A vicar once said to a nun
Why don’t you and me have some fun
She yawned and said, “Look,
I’ve got the good book,
So, just let me know when you're done.”

The day stretched and began to stir.
it yawned and made 
leaves sway.
It showered in the mist and rain, 
then dressed in clouds of gray.
It worked its way through treetops,
had lunch on a
tranquil lake  
then laid down on the forest floor,
and took a
well earned break....

The adulterer and adulteress rode 
In a gilded carriage, while horses strode
Many looked on with pride
Others hated the ride  
Most of the world yawned in blasé mode  


I had some thoughts when they said he was the leader of the Church Of England....

The snowy swan skates on the pond
with brilliancy and innocence.
The ice-covered platinum blonde—
the snowy swan skates on the pond.
Sun’s mellowness of groovy yawned.
The athlete’s dawn drives diligence.
One snowy swan skates on the pond
with brilliancy and innocence.

Dawn gently woke the sun on this summer morn
He yawned with splayed fingers of tepid light
dappling brown cattails along the river's bank
and gilded the wings of mosquito hawks in flight

Catherine yawned today
made no mention of the prix
she had to pay
Love is a cussing word
She did the best she could
Gonna reinvent the wheel


The swallow always knows
and the doughty willow
fades to grey
And how heaven bestows
whispers  to her flock
but we turn ourselves
into vessels of hope...

sifting shifting streams
falling star trying to get away from the others
Neb you
lah to follow
so powerful e
motive to be a ware-we need more wares
Tiggering (as in like Pooh's Tigger)

get it respawned
and yawned
how many of you have died
but still i awe at your deadlight
and the whispered hmm bites...

eerie earth belched
callous creed's crest
nocturnal nature nauseated
dark dribbles cremated
hoisted hankering cruised
sassy soil puked

rusty rims yawned
puncturing pulpy pawn
tactic trend torn

bruised bark bent
mystic moaning etched
saucy seal spent

lofty lids lurched
vying voluptuous verge.

The kitty’s yawn roused me from my chair
Made me smile and want a little nap.
She stretched her body from here to there.
I said you darling, come sit in my lap.

She stuck up her nose and wandered away.
Into country air, with no bit of smog. 
The kind of cat who had her own way.
Fine, because I had a cozy nap with the dog....

once up on a midnight
clearly...
while i yawned all weak
and...

barely over many a pain
too...
clear volumes from gutt'n
more...

and while i knotted nearly
rapping...
suddenly there came a
crapping...

and a rapping at the door
"this"...
i muttered "be my chamber
only"...

and not

pruning pulpy pear
tactic tier's there 
passion pasting prayers 
fostering fallible fair 
felon figs belched 
contractions cobbling crest 
 
whooshing wind yawned 
tucking tainted flaws 
owed to draws 
 
then a coda 
mystic melody murdered 
concerto grosso clustered 
 
pulsing pear blushed 
leering lanky lust.

The morning yawned and opened it's eyes.The sun emerged and flung it's light. Beginning the day to my eyes an awesome sight. Opaque droplets on the flowers were like glittering diamonds in the sun. Never in all of creation have i seen a more exquisite morn. Thinking this day just begun when i walked with GOD in the garden as the day was being born...
