Premium MemberInspirations

Inspirations come within our knowledge
Changing sky's colours
Non-musical dancing of the leaves
The pursuing sun's motive
The hearted kiss of the grass on my pants
Man's changing strange behaviour
The taming of the wild animals
And the imbedding strange interest  in my heart


Premium MemberBeing Human

You, me, us
We’re all born as animals
Mammals to be precise 
Helpless in our newness

Dependent on others
Especially our mothers
But at what point
Do we become human? 

Is there a moment of awakening
Or is it a gradual becoming?
Is it a first breath
Or something much more earned?

Is it something some of us
Never achieve and some somehow lose?
Is it a thing or a way of being
Or a something only becoming?

We take for granted what we are
We grant it to others too
But what if we are all wrong
And human means something new.

Premium Member RAIN  

A pretty sunny day can start off with white fluffy clouds, the bright blue sky becomes the big backdrop. I love to sit and watch the white fluffy clouds, as they dance across the bright blue sky. Many times as I watch, I see zoo animals walking by. Then the thunder sounds off, like a canon across the sky. The day is going from pretty to dark, is rain about to come in for a visit? As the peaceful wind starts to pick up, the birds fly to hide. It has been hot and dry here, everything needs a bath and a cool drink. The flowers and trees welcome the rain, as the pitter patter starts. Come down slow they seem to say, make the rain last for awhile.

Premium MemberAt the Silent Sanctuary

As feathered flocks soar across sinking sun,
and dusk descends on a silent sanctuary,
animals arrive at serene springs.

Fluttering feathers disturb solemn shadows;
rich reflections shine as birds brush,
beaks creating concentric rippling rings.

Silence settles on the haunted hollows.

Premium Membercry havoc

hunting the Rue Saint-Honoré 
leaves me no breath

when women brawl for fashion
with warrants of gold
we become lions

every eye looks
taking hunter's aim
in piteous chase

the hares we hunt
are the new, the hot, the exclusive
not the lower marked 

cry havoc
for animals heave fewer groans

only wars, revolt and poisons
attend more frightful chaos
one could come to hurt

but fault no villains
that is not our hunting language

we are confederates in chase
seeking the swaggers of success

Premium MemberChildhood Friend

My Childhood Friend
Greyhound buses
Always been intrigued
Starting at a very young age
Fond of animals
The Greyhound Bus trademark with the stretched hound caught my attention
I started buying toy Greyhound buses in keeping my interest alive
Enthusiasm extends into my adulthood
Still holds true today
Travelled numerous destinations on the Greyhound bus near and far
I have currently a vintage model bus collection comprising of 2,000 plus of toy Greyhound buses and many others
Domestic and International
Childhood memory
Roll on still intact.

Premium MemberFalse Dawn

The colonial masters have gone 
Our self-crowned kings rule now
Citizens have gone skin and bone 
Like animals we exist somehow

Premium MemberThe Moon Rides On

I see the moon riding with its reddish-golden tinge.
I see the moon riding as lives here die and begin.
It has no fanfare, no blazing gas, no rings.
It just reminds us that we’re mortal short lived beings.

It pulls back the oceans and commands the seas. It arcs, it wanes, it waxes—showing wonder to us, sea creatures, birds and other animals without wings.

I see the moon riding through the night, and sometimes through the day, reminding us that its silent power touches every earthly thing.

Premium MemberPassion

The hot sun of summer sets loose our passion
and once more our thoughts turn to love
seeking the same warmth from a lover
filling us with joy as our cups overflow.

Making this beautiful world shout
coming to life with dainty colour
the shades set our hearts wildly beating
as we thrill with passionate feeling.

Hark listen to nature's cries of cooing birds
the sound of animals crashing through overgrowth
as they beat a path to the one they desire
blazing with a mass of passionate senses.

Once more our hot passions rule our heads
we step forth without the usual caution
all in the desire to replicate ourselves
to bring forth to life a new generation.

Premium MemberThe Most Powerful Thing In The World Is The Mind


The most powerful
thing in the World
is the Mind

Much more so
than the sword
It can accomplish

wonderful things,
benefit human kind,
create solutions

for the World's problems
It has an imagination
which fosters creative endeavors

Distinguishes us from
all animals
on the planet

It should be used
for positive purposes
to advance the

cause for all humans
It creates cures
for many diseases

and helps us
to live a
long prosperous life

Premium MemberWhen I met the Animals

in my backyard,
where they came looking for me 

The orangutang surveyed the property
from the top of the garden shed

The jaguar looked bored
on the trampoline

The snow leopard walked
figure eights around
the potted tomatoes 

The kangaroo kicked a dingo
and I had to referee  

The albatross wasn't keen on company,
so he danced through the sky 
as if swinging by strings

The anaconda had already eaten
so, he slept beneath the magnolia tree

The giraffe was less than thrilled
with the greens
growing in Greensboro, 
so he scanned the horizon 
for something better

I listened to the unexotic 
Northern Mockingbirds
in the grey branches
and was happy

Premium MemberMicrobial Illuminati

In the beginning, there were microbes 
Once upon a time later 
Some collectively came together 
Becoming plants and animals 
But even after billions of years of evolution 
Most still remain as microbes free from collectives 
Even to this day, microbes are Earth’s dominate lifeform 
Why do you think that is? 
For millennia they remained invisible 
Hidden from sight 
It’s not until recently 
With the invention of the microscope 
They’ve been discovered and exposed 
To scientific scrutiny and medical bloodwork routines 
To us, the world is big, but for them, it’s 10,000 times bigger 
Giving them plenty of small places to hide 
And hold secret meetings 
About, who knows what 

Only the Microbial Illuminati knows, 
If they even exist.

Premium MemberComedians

Comedy of summer has come to my yard.
Pond Turtle seems clumsy as seen tripping
on concrete gravel. Two scrub Jays compete
for a comfy spot, bickering over tree limbs.

A Beetle Bug runs in circles on the front porch
deck, then counter-clock-wise--Practicing what?
Choreography for the Beetle Bug barn dance?

Our little dog mimics a lizard doing pushups
in sunshine on the deck, as the lizard stares
him down.

The Buck in the back yard sits in dirt to rest,
his antlers being too big to cart around
much longer.  Doe stands over him tapping
her hoof, or so it looks like to me from here.

Premium MemberI always start with the eyes

I always draw the eyes first
not the face, neck or chin
not the body
always the eyes

I am a cartoonist
I enjoy creating fantasy worlds
fictitious animals, mythical creatures
sometimes I draw enchanted trees with faces
I always start with the eyes

Premium MemberSpring in Kentucky

Despite the heaviness of grief,
I am beginning to feel that magic
that comes with Spring in Kentucky
The beauty of blooming flowers and trees
the bluegrass starts to grow
the bees flitter about, polinating
and distrubuting the magic
the animals and their babies
start coming out in natural places
with the occasional wildlife
turning up in backyards and parks
Children flock to parks and open spaces
Kentucky is a magical place year round,
but esspecially in Spring!
