angry antelopes allowing ants access
bashful buzzards behaving beautifully
curious calves cavorting in the corn
definitive ducks digesting division
eager elephants eliciting excitement
frenzied freckled frogs freely frolicking
greasy green grubworms groveling and grimacing
harried hyenas hectically hopping hopefully
ignorant iguanas ignoring the implausible
jubilant jackals jiggling jiffy jewelry
kayaking kangaroos kibitzing in Kenya
liberal llamas liberating little Libya
miniscule musical mollusks making merry
nine nervous newts nibbling newtons
orangutangs orchestrating outdated Ohio
pressurized primates providing privacy
quarrelsome quails quizzing quahogs
resurrected roosters receiving riotous relatives
sassy seasoned sea serpents sallying forth in secret
tantalizing tarantulas tasting tree lined treats
understated urchins undoing underwater ugliness
visible vixens vibrating toward victory
wily wise walruses whistling in water wrecks
‘xtraordinary ‘xotic eagles expecting easy eggs
young Yellowstone yaks yelling their youthful truth
zealous zebras zipping breezily through Zanzibar
Arctic Ocean
Way up in the north, below the north pole
With icy cold waters and snow lined peaks
Fishing can happen if you cut a hole
Just hope things stay frozen, that nothing leaks.
Lips turn bright blue and noses turn red
Walruses sit on the ice, what is left
Scarves and hats are wound round the head
Populations are sparse, no threats of theft
But ice caps are melting and they float away
Nature will start to defrost
If we keep our heads up, we won’t betray
Our world might be found and not lost
"A rulerless fiefdom as the smaller ice cap is polarized." ~ by Poet.
White fields of ice, a solemn realm;
Behold, a polar bear wanders, an awesome sight.
Beneath the frozen sea, a vast world calls,
a residual pastel moon,
where penguins and walruses tend their own.
Dark holds as chilly flows, back and forth, and sideways,
and nature’s ancient hollow plays.
Aurora’s arc cascading everglow,
It is a luminous show overhead.
Strike the wintry night sky, northern magic fulfills,
while traversing icy bellows.
Seals’ body maneuvers, plummeting, faithfully,
in the abysmal blue ocean,
darting smoothly and graceful in motion.
Fish’s technique of catching, while getting caught,
as the world is forever changing fast,
with underwater volcanoes,
and the ice is melting swift nowadays.
Water’s rising, and wildlife is fleeing;
Future change as humans awestruck, about their home?
I became pregnant the summer of 2024
I had my eightth son, born
Valentines Day 2025 in Correzz
France. I became pregant one night at
a Music semenarier.
Ten of us partied at the Twig Retreat
in Spain. One song was 2/3 melody.
TThe other was 3/4 harmony.
They deleted the dialog and
fused the grooves. The Circle of
Fifth, "Bangers and Grindin!"
Eglise aint nothing on us!
Jesus is Jesus in Spanish.
So I wanna name him
O'Dey.
it means alot with this meaning,
I wanted to name him Jose'

Dolled up in Powda Bleu rhinestone

her Paw.
He was angry cause she refused
to wear a bra.
He heard the Fella
talking about what they saw.
She grabbed her Tres Cubano and swung it at
until the room cleared.
Amalgam
She auditioned for the role of the guy who makes the burlap bags in the village.
She was casted as his wife.

couldn't find it there
I tried within the darkness
not a trace was found
i tried within the light
not a single sight

Ocean's Marine Life Observations While Serving In The United States of America's Navy!
Sailing swimming seven seas
through high winds
High choppy whitecaps seas
through fair winds
and fair seas
huge and small wakes and waves
observing beautiful and majestic scenes
from rising and setting suns
staring at horizon's mesmerizing views
viewing dolphins horsing around
and swimming next to my ship
watching sea snakes swim on seas surface level and submerging in and out of the seas
sharks jumping out of the sea
whales jumping out of the sea and coming up to the surface to get a breath
Flying fish soaring momentarily into the air running away from possible predators
or simply flying for the kicks of it
African penguins surfed the waves of South Africa, and who had jackass-like brays
Sea lions and walruses chilling, fighting, and play fighting one another on Seal Island
Sea turtles swimming from sandy beaches into the seas
Seagulls soaring over, next to, and aft of my ship
Jellyfish swimming next to my ship and almost floating on top of the seas!
Lion gatherer
the tigers are aloose
in the city
tiger gatherer
the walruses
wish to be feed
the hippos don't know
which way to go
and the giraffe
wishes to have
a longer bed!
the recourse of goose
thinks beyond the sight
his eye's are foggy
and dense
what's more than this
she tricks
the ducks to speak
she is first behind
the alligator
the bird, speak from
the crocodile's lips
the lion is aloose in the city
the people must know
this for certain
hide all your meat
let the lion gatherer seek
let them do what they have to do
take the lion back to the zoo
An alligator always ate addax and antelopes.
Baby bats began bouncing before burping
Caterpillars climb cable crossings carefully
Dingos don't dine delicately during dinner.
Eager elephants enjoy easily eating eggplants
Funny frogs finally find flipping fun
Granny goat 's girl got green grapes
Healthy heavy happy hippos hate horrendous heat
Iguana is inhaling icky insects
Jolly Joey Jumps joyfully juggling jelly jars.
Kevin's kangaroo keeps kicking kids
Lions like long-legged little llamas
monkeys making magical music
Nightingales nest neatly nearby
Olly's old Ostrich outruns others
Polly parrot playfully peck puppies paws
Quick quirky quails quarrel quietly
Robert's rascally rabbits racing raccoons
Slinky slimy snakes slither slowly
Tony the Tiger tasted termites.
Unusual Ukari understands us
Voracious vicarious vultures visibly vibrate
Walruses wobble while wiggling wildly
x-ray tetras want worms
Young yellow yackety Yaks yawn
Zealous Zany Zesty Zebra
Walruses play mostly happy tunes on harpsichords but melons cannot dance in tight fitting dresses. Beats which are benign are neither breaking nor booming to a ghostly gibbon. Whose antics in trees are marvelled at by the passing geese. Carnivores eating on the banks of a river never tasting the buds. Never attempting the leaves. Wilt then. And don't go and argue with a skipping leaf. If it wants to lay down to rest then it can. It is always very busy. Construction mainly. And preparation does not arrive from thin air it takes suitable mind beams. In a circular array. Flowing forming freeing friendly frames. How it is deemed important by many. In rows. But the pork stands and assesses to ascertain what is true. And so speak the irony of owl in an old oak. No bath tub. No tube. Dancing dandelions deviantly deny digging dogs defying dogmatic dramas. Haha fortitude. Haha bean pole running. Haha mopping moos. Xxxx monosaccharide z
Fish and chips salty air
Big fat bottoms sat on stripy deck chairs
Sticks of rock candy floss and bottles of soda pop
Sand castles and buckets and spades
Dad with binoculars pretending to look out to sea
But looking at the bikini hot babes
Little child paddles in the sea
Little child has a pee
Ice cream and jellyfish
Punch and Judy ventriloquists
Bare flesh everywhere sea breeze tussles hair
Walruses laid on beach towels everywhere
Courting couples walking hand in hand
Games of cricket and Beach ball on the sand
Annoying music steaming from someone's radio
A scream goes out as a crab bites someone's toe
The smell of suntan lotion mixed with sweat
And the smell of cigarettes
Waves rolling upon the shore
A baby wanting it's diaper changing lets out a might roar
Burgers and hot dog's from a van
Guy's with muscles parading the beach as though saying to the girls
Look at me I'm all real man
As the girls giggle and wiggle
As the hot Sun smiles down
On a day by the sea.
Peter Dome.Copyright.2015. May.
The gloomy days of winter
And soggy clouds of rain
Make me wonder if sunshiny days
Will ever come again.
I am so tired of galoshes,
Umbrellas and rain coats.
I'd like to carry only bottles
Of sun lotion in my totes.
Mr North Wind take your icy blasts
And blow them far away
To where polar bears would say welcome
And walruses and caribou play.
I am sitting by a heater
With a blanket on my knees.
I see my garden through my window
As it slips into deep freeze.
The sports of winter don't amuse me.
I have never learned to ski.
I'd like to winter in Hawaii
Or in sunny Italy.
Now that Santa Claus has gone back
To the land of ice and snow,
I must tell you Mr. Winter,
It's also time for you to go.
