Imagination Race
What's going on inside your mind?
Are all mechanics working?
Are pulleys being correctly pulled
To stop unnecessary jerking?
Are the monkeys passing messages
To the elephants in your brain?
Who give them to the rats
Who run down the trunk
To the puppies who've been trained
Are the pups slipping those messages
Down departmental chutes?
Where they're collected by centipedes
Wearing hundreds of tiny boots
Those centipedes run those messages
Throughout your cranium
A never ending process
That...

Mama Bear
I see you huffing around my chickens!
You’ve scared them to the dickens!
“Rawr” I say,
You can’t stay!
Hey bear, shoo bear,
I am one you can not scare!
You slowly walk, but you better run,
My protective fury will not be fun!
You may have powerful paws,
With deadly claws.
But nothing can compare,
To my strength as The Mama Bear!
You’ve scared them to the dickens!
“Rawr” I say,
You can’t stay!
Hey bear, shoo bear,
I am one you can not scare!
You slowly walk, but you better run,
My protective fury will not be fun!
You may have powerful paws,
With deadly claws.
But nothing can compare,
To my strength as The Mama Bear!

Traditional Japanese Haiku 7.0
(i) Winds of Silence
the wind blows northward
I contemplate its silence
it's the breath of God
(ii) Monkeys Reign
monsoon come so soon
jungle plants get refreshed
but the monkeys drown
(iii) Winter
a woven white rug
walking on a crunch carpet
powdered snow brings light
(iv) Sun Day
my meditation
brings me to my happy place
sunny but still sad
(v) Pop The Question
Mother of nature
Tell me where is my father
a proud forest Elm ...

Plotting against nature
A sombre bird moves delicatly
outside my window
knotting invisable threads
Have you not noticed our absence?
beyond faint slumber
we thought we could entrust
humanity
Should we consign all fate
to be forgot
History repeating
again
in gunpowder
we trust
outside my window
knotting invisable threads
Have you not noticed our absence?
beyond faint slumber
we thought we could entrust
humanity
Should we consign all fate
to be forgot
History repeating
again
in gunpowder
we trust

October Rockhollow
The shadows cast oblong leaves across the garden,
and in
drifts the Sun greeting trees and flowers as they strip away their clothes.
I pad, alone, quiet,
barefoot across the wet lawn
as if a newly born fox
searching for prizes, washed out under rainfall,
snuffling through sticks and piles of orange, brown rotting.
I notice the moments,
last, gasping breaths of Summer
swinging on the October breeze,
singing tales of warm, hot days -
how does Echinacea keep going
in this insufferable wet?
I set my basket down...

Collective Reasoning
(or How Animals got their Collective Names)
Sharks are a shiver 'cos they’ll give you the chills
Crows are a murder 'cos they make a lot of kills
Lions are a pride 'cos they've let it go to their head
Jellyfish are a smack 'cos they'll leave your arse bright red
Cobras are a quiver 'cos they’re straight as arrows
Foxes are a charm 'cos they’re delightful fellows
Crocs are a bask 'cos in the sunshine they be hangin’
Elk are a gang 'cos they always be bangin’
...

Luna
Have you caught that glimpse
momentarily only
meant
for you?
Your feet still walk these halls
Will you return to me?
Shall I scalp this truth
of all purpose?
Were you awake
when you entered rebirth
did you die?
Do you still stand
at bifrost
Singing to godless innate spirits
until northern lights
chant your reflection
into the shielded
new moon
scaling dawn
you will be loved
once more
momentarily only
meant
for you?
Your feet still walk these halls
Will you return to me?
Shall I scalp this truth
of all purpose?
Were you awake
when you entered rebirth
did you die?
Do you still stand
at bifrost
Singing to godless innate spirits
until northern lights
chant your reflection
into the shielded
new moon
scaling dawn
you will be loved
once more

Animal Encounters
I was down at my local park
When I see this drunken aardvark
Laying on his back
As tanked as a yak
Rolling around in the bark
He goes “Oi! Do you wanna drink?!”
Raising his glass with a wink
I said “Whatta you got?”
He goes “Pure gut rot
everythin' in it but the kitchen sink!”
So I go “Yeah alright cool”
'Cos I like me some rocket fuel
But It sent me to a vortex
Fucked my frontal cortex
And that’s how I came to be such a fool
Last Tuesday 'round about noon ...
When I see this drunken aardvark
Laying on his back
As tanked as a yak
Rolling around in the bark

everythin' in it but the kitchen sink!”
So I go “Yeah alright cool”
