On My Farm
My wife began singing yesterday morning
within one hour, all of our livestock perished
she's tone deaf and damn proud of it
within the hour a cow, a pig & horse from out of nowhere came to our front door
there were all standing on their hind legs
the cow had a crowbar
the horse had a sickle
the pig had a gun
they confronted me and asked to see my wife
i said there she is
she was still singing
they placed earplugs into their ears
then headphones over their ears
they confronted her and began slicing her to bits
the pig...

Cock A Doodle Do
I live on a ranch where everything is free to roam
my feathered friends included
I love to watch them strut and preen
doing lovey courting dances
some of them brightly feathered
the smaller roosters follow the cock of the block
the fiercest rooster among them being boss
they pick out choice grubs
picking all day as long as the sun is up
the hens are kept safe by the cock
who guards against cats and fox
early to rise with a cock a doodle do
and early to roost as the sun kisses the sky adie
my chickens went...

Beware Of The Mink
If you want a mink as a pet
You will end up with regret
Unless you get one when it is small
Adult ones can't be domesticated at all
They are aggressive predators of sorts
Never thinking twice before they bite
They'll strike and sometimes even maul
They don't make a safe pet at all

A VULTURE HAS LANDED
A VULTURE HAS LANDED
A best friend of mine, saw and posted a vulture just the other day
he wondered, what secret hidden message they'd come to say.
Vultures don't always mean death, sometimes in fact, it's rebirth
Teaching us self awareness, what in fact what we are truly worth.
Vultures can also teach us many of other interesting things practice patience and tolerance in whatever changes your life brings.
Also, often they symbolize that we need to have some faith and trust
that all will be better as things settle according to plan and must.

SCHOOLED BY A SPARROW
BIRDS
I have a
bird feeder
on my balcony
that I continually
keep filled
with seed.
Today as I
watched my friend
come for the
seed he knows
will be there,
I thought how
simple life would be
if we humans would
trust each other and
share the blessings
we have.
Today I was once
again schooled by
a sparrow.
What lesson will
you let nature teach you
TODAY?

Rats.... An Observation
I call them King and Queen
2 rats that live near me
Been seeing them for a year
Mornings when I walk my dog
They don't bother anyone
They just forage for food
Big but not scary
They startle when you cross paths
They are part of my neighborhood
Live under the Chinese Laundry
Funny how they became a poem
Think I should name them
Good Morning Marlon
Good Morning Audrey
Wonder if you were humans past ?
Payback in the afterlife

what (they call improvement)
rows
and rows
of established
trees
cut down,
animals displaced
from
their homes,
the land
stripped,
life giving
waters drained,
all for
the sake
and benefit
for mankind,
and this
is what
they call
improvement.

Fly
I’m the fly
That crawls on skin
The disgusting parasite
With a disease ridden bite
Spreading misery
The itch you want rid of
I’m the fly
Wallowing in rotten flesh
Making you sick
Repulsive little creature
Existing only to annoy
Just swat me dead

Between Wolf and Sheep
Where the high hills collide
The deep long valley lies
The oak forest grows alongside
From behind the mountain rise
In the dim of the shady twilight
The pious sends celestial calls
From the godly tower afore night
Vibrant echoes thru serene halls
The full flock, now homeward coming
Treading the path of the milky way
Heavy with ripe grass and pure air
Safely herded by a sturdy shepherd
The deep valley now holds an eerie depth
Shadows of wolf and fox and some other claws
Fangs of wild come down from the...

Front Yard
Tonight I lie under fireflies—
the pre-summer warmth
igniting their brief adult life
Crickets bow-drilling legs
flame auditory mating signals
Deafening cicada chorus
emerging from catacombs
of an earthen temple
Bat frequency
bouncing off prey—
distant thunder clearing its throat
amid a flash of heat
This is how I want to go out:
one swoop—an inferno
of burn; a falling star ...

King of the Jungle
When the Lion Is Hungry
The Lion Eats
He enjoys his meal
He toys with his prey
He taunts his prey
Then he grabs his glock
And he double taps him
to the head to make
Sure he's dead
So remember these words
When the Lion Is Hungry
The Lion Eats
The Lion Eats
He enjoys his meal
He toys with his prey
He taunts his prey
Then he grabs his glock
And he double taps him
to the head to make
Sure he's dead
So remember these words

Flash & the squeaky toy
Squeaky-squeaky
squeak-dee-dee-doo!
running like a bull
in a China shop__!
Flash wastes no time
teeth snarling
he takes his shot
slaps that toy
out of my hand
with his hand
then bites it
& drags it to
FlashLand
Under the bureau
where all his treasured
possessions end up
Oh man, he hates the sound ...
