Un-Fair

Political greed
Nationalism prospers
Hungry children cry...

For Miles

Haunting notes
Pacify enchanted souls
Modal blues palliate
The most wicked of heart...

For Miles Davis.

The Ducks,The Geese,The Deer and the Silly Squirrel.

"The ducks,the geese,the deer and the silly squirrel"

19 ducks quacking at my back door
4 geese honking to be fed
3 deer stroll up to see just what's what ?
1 skittish squirrel waits in the tree...

So i feed them Cheerios,right from the box
Even the deer eat them too!
But noooo, not Mr.Squirrel,he waits till they leave...

Bye Bye ducks,geese and deer...
Now Mr.Squirrel gets his special treat!
He likes walnuts so i give him three,
He takes them and hides them
Way up in his tree...Silly Mr.Squirrel!

For Mara my 5 year old chum...
One of the beautiful little people around.

Breakfast For Two

"Breakfast for two"

Callie the cat 
climbed the cypress
curious for something to eat.

Benny the bird 
perched on a branch
just a claw out of Callies reach.

Benny the bird 
spied a round worm
snaking along the ground.

Few a-ground 
went Benny the bird
and chowed the yummy thing down.

Now Benny the bird
sat licking his beak
enjoying his morning treat,

while Callie the cat
planned the attack
for too her morning treat;

Well Benny the bird
no longer around,
to see mornings a-new
For the squiggly round worm
that became a treat
was also breakfast for two...

Roast Goose

Startled geese hiding,
Huddling in the dense brush
Roasted goose dinner...

Bad Sleep

With draggy eyes
Ascending slumbers boundry
Vivid weeping dreams...


ps a haiku of sorts,i guess.

Drying Tears

Lonely cries out-loud
A founded friend to be-friend
Weeping tears subside

You May Make One Up...

sun kissed skies this day
clouds,Picasso's of heaven...
a babe sleeps in awe.

Crying For Tears

If these thoughts are real
then they must be
uncharacteristic
of normal...

A balance of abnormal
that is both astringent
and self absorbing.

In abstinence they 
become relentless
in their pursuit 
(until)
the remaining raw edges
of hope surrenders
to un-forgiveness.

Crying for tears,
an emollient for despair.


ps: not so sure just where this came from of if it even makes sense.just wrote it 
down in a flash.
