Critterature: The Saga of Veronica Vole
This is the saga of Veronica Vole
Who committed the perfect crime.
She murdered three lovers,
But not all at once,
She did 'em in one at a time.
The first was a lemur,
A two-timing schemer,
Who seduced all thirteen of her nieces.
Every female enticed him,
So she sliced him and diced him,
Then stir-fried and ate all the pieces.
The second, a lobster,
Was

Barn Owl On a Blood Moon
At harvest time
Where a white ghost flies
Across a blood red moon
Behind the fields the rolling hills
Are purple, pink and blue
Over a dreaming wheat field
A barn owl patrols
Noiselessly it glides
Over the golden yellow drifts
Suddenly, it flaps its wings
And stares down intently
Below on the soil a startled vole
Sees a white star fall
A squeak and the owl is

Colorful eager leaves

Too Late For That
Poor dead thing.
A mole some said.
Ugly for sure.
A vole others agreed.

Poor dead whatever.
No funeral.
No service.
No words.
Just a hole dug in the earth
And a decaying body.
I wondered as I was digging
What else I would discover.
Hoping if I did it would not be human.

The Mole and the Vole
The mole and the vole, went out for a stroll
For the moon was all shiny and bright.
Happily chatting, unaware of the flapping
As the incredulous owl now took flight.
Too late they saw the oncoming claw
So enraptured they were by the moon,
The mole and the vole, poor little souls.
Their demise, it came all too soon.

Un Oiseau a Vole
Un oiseau a volé
Je rêve
La fleur rêve
Rêves qui tombent du ciel
Amer est le miel
Toutes les fleurs se sont noyées sous la pluie
Moi, je ne sais pas qui je suis
Sauf que j’ai été perdu toute ma vie
Mort ou vivant
Tous les rêves ont disparu
Même toi
