Surprise guests
Are you coming to my party? It's going to be so great!
Just walk on in, or run, or catch a lift with someone's mate.
Two friends are at the station - bravo, let's go and pick them up;
we'll bring them to the party and then let them choose a cup.
There's a flag out in the garden so you know where it will be;
There'll be such fun that you won't want to stop, I guarantee!
I'll put on games and serve great food for sure, but first a guess:
who's here as guest of honour and is going to address
the reason for this gathering, so joyous...

The Mouse
Midnight: I lie on the bed, a
song plays in my head- but which?
Ah, I don’t know. I close my eyes,
but no use: no oblivion, no
peace. No medicine of all
times. And so I get up and leave
my room. A coffee! Why
not? Therefore I go to a shelf and
grab the coffee, but I hear something.
What’s there? I look around and see
a mouse, a molecule hurrying
to escape in the infinity of the planet,
in the sea of the night. I feel
ready finally for sleep,
for the dreams remaining to me.

Savior Dog
She cocks her head and stares,
offers a paw in the air,
The paw is a word, the stare
a question, when the liquor
is drunk unchilled, they will stare
In the coldness of covid,
the paws comforted, rescued
our souls, the whip of the tail
delighted, near and nudging,
ears keen to woes and worries
she flops down beside me, her
bottom up, and demands the rub,
near and nudging, she stares when
I stop, we healed when we stroked
petted bathed nuzzled fed
she...

Desire.
As beautiful at this, what has gone missing, even at this early stage, is precisely what goes missing from the poetry of a post crusade troubadour like Gilhem Montanhage:the open description and celebration of physical passion and sexual desire as an element of lovev. Even Giacomo verse heaven if his lady is not to be there, the ideas of God and heaven and future punishment and reward are working their way.

Romancen.

He Told Me He's Doing A Wildlife Film
Gianna got
so jealous
after seeing
her fiancé Eric
naked in the river
with her maid of honor
Deborah and Eric's chimpanzee.

Don't touch my fair body.
With me flithy faith.
And burning hands.
And bloody hands.
You bandits.
And burning hands.
And bloody hands.
You bandits.

A strong scent.
A stick can't
Stare another stick because
Sunny soon.
A but a glass fits. Right
fight in a forny cup.
Because riverie right.
Letters for Rose horses.

Under the Clovers
Peek out the Patio,
Pasture of clovers.
Reminiscent of the time I exhausted,
Your panting decelerated.
Obscure thumps ready to cease,
My eyes tinged in agony.
With an embrace, you’re guided through the trefoils,
A reminder of a decade before.
Oh, the torment you were in.
As the cancer expanded across your physique,
My perception was murky.
Vet on standby, wails were muffled,
Tranquilly, you faded…
Now, flourishing where you rest,
Between the meadow of clovers,
Shamrocks of four-leaves.
Pasture of clovers.
Reminiscent of the time I exhausted,
Your panting decelerated.
Obscure thumps ready to cease,
My eyes tinged in agony.
With an embrace, you’re guided through the trefoils,
A reminder of a decade before.
Oh, the torment you were in.
As the cancer expanded across your physique,
My perception was murky.
Vet on standby, wails were muffled,
Tranquilly, you faded…
Now, flourishing where you rest,
Between the meadow of clovers,
Shamrocks of four-leaves.

A crab walks forward.
Wait, No they walk sideways right?
I guess they're broken

Dining Out Of Trash Cans
George was an ambitious fox. He is very cunning and intelligent, although he would eat out of trash cans, in the alleyway, in his element.
He takes food home, back to the family den, where his lady fox and cubs are in the forestry of the ends.
He could visit a lot of bins in one night, trying to find a nice delight, when one day he messed up and had quite a fright.
A booby-trap cage had crashed down and locked him inside. There was nowhere he could run, and nowhere he could hide.
He was trapped for the night. He had stepped onto the wrong lawn....

Petting a Dog
You join me on the couch
Curled up in your favourite spot
With one of your people
Petting you is supposed to be relaxing
Often I can’t find the relaxation
Petting you consciously
Like a task to be completed
Tonight is different
Finding the relaxation in the texture of fir
Softness of your ears
Absentmindedly petting your head
Playing with your floppy ears
Finally finding elusive relaxation
For both of us
Curled up in your favourite spot
With one of your people
Petting you is supposed to be relaxing
Often I can’t find the relaxation
Petting you consciously
Like a task to be completed
Tonight is different
Finding the relaxation in the texture of fir
Softness of your ears
Absentmindedly petting your head
Playing with your floppy ears
Finally finding elusive relaxation
For both of us

Come at Me Bro!
The Great Decapod Crustacean War
General Clawdius Herman Shellby Pincer VIII stood on the rock
He had come from a long line of warriors since the Jurassic era
His family were more defined by their extra thick exoskeletons
Their species are one the longest living creatures on planet Terra
An army of a million crabs had gathered there in the ocean floor
Ready to go to war as General Pincer VIII encouraged the troops
He spoke to platoons, sergeants, chieftains, captains and crabtains
Advising that the enemy is fast and catches them in groups ...
