Blue Bulls
My bull keeps getting out.
When I was a child my grandmother would always recite the nursery rhyme Hey Diddle Diddle..but come on, how could a cow jump over the moon?
Well, I've seen it with my own eyes I'm telling ya!
For the last two months our bull Duke has been getting out somehow, we patch and repair spots we think he's using, only for him to be back in our front yard again come morning. So yesterday, frustrated with his escape artists expertise, I hopped on the four wheeler and started to chase him, cause usually a cow will go back the way he came, then I could know...

Lambs
The lambs huddled together in the corner
I don't have a knife
I don't have tusks
We just put them on the balance one by one
They say sheep is the nicest animal
I don't believe them
For | have been chased
by monstrous lambs in my dreams
They had red eyes
Blood dripping mouth
Shiny claws that make the wolves shy
I remembered the scene from a movie:
Busty women sitting in a line
Milking tubes attached to their breasts
I don't have a knife
I don't have tusks
We just put them on the balance one by one
They say sheep is the nicest animal
I don't believe them
For | have been chased
by monstrous lambs in my dreams
They had red eyes
Blood dripping mouth
Shiny claws that make the wolves shy
I remembered the scene from a movie:
Busty women sitting in a line
Milking tubes attached to their breasts

Puppy - Part 2
When you died, you died too soon.
You died one year ago this afternoon.
A vet tried to save you with a blood transfusion but you died anyway.
You died and my heart was broken one year ago today.
I bought you in 2017 and you were only six years old when you died.
If a person ever says that I didn't love you, that person will have lied.
Some Chihuahuas are hateful but you were not.
You were one of the best things I've ever bought.
I took you to two vets but your life still came to an end.
You weren't just a dog, you were also a wonderful...

I'm a Dog
I'm trotting along singing my song,
marking my territory here and beyond,
I'm a dog.
You'll see me here, there, everywhere,
especially in your underwear,
I'm a dog.
I smile, I frown, but never look like a
clown,
I'm a dog.
Yard's are a mess when I leave
my address,
I'm a dog.
A splish, splash, from me to your lap.
A burst, a thirst, number one's first.
A squat, a shock, a surprise, a thought,
all part of my plot.
A piece of doo from me to you,
I'm a dog.
marking my territory here and beyond,
I'm a dog.
You'll see me here, there, everywhere,
especially in your underwear,
I'm a dog.
I smile, I frown, but never look like a
clown,
I'm a dog.
Yard's are a mess when I leave
my address,
I'm a dog.
A splish, splash, from me to your lap.
A burst, a thirst, number one's first.
A squat, a shock, a surprise, a thought,
all part of my plot.
A piece of doo from me to you,
I'm a dog.

Days Without Rain
In the days without rain
the pond is down.
The few trees that grow in it
bear witness to what the waterline
used to be.
Dragonflies while the day away
pretending to be acrobats
performing aerial feats for each other.
An occasional breeze sways the small stand
of cattails that grow near the edge.
Their mint-green leaves, long knives,
firm as canvas sails full of wind
on yacht race day.
A young frog sits in the shallows,
three-quarters submerged,
a meniscus outlines his exposed body.
He is still as...
the pond is down.
The few trees that grow in it
bear witness to what the waterline
used to be.
Dragonflies while the day away
pretending to be acrobats
performing aerial feats for each other.
An occasional breeze sways the small stand
of cattails that grow near the edge.
Their mint-green leaves, long knives,
firm as canvas sails full of wind
on yacht race day.
A young frog sits in the shallows,
three-quarters submerged,
a meniscus outlines his exposed body.

Erase The Misery
The night took hold,
at the full moons glow.
My claws grew long,
as my hair took form.
My muscles contracted,
as my uncontrollable rage,
went active.
Metamorphosis under way,
victims will pay,
so stay out of my way.
The innocent are my prey,
in the dark where the game,
is played.
Blood-thirsty flesh is what I crave,
before and after,
you're in the grave.
Love is what I need,
to stop the feed,
and change this curse within me.
A woman's love can tame me,
and...
at the full moons glow.
My claws grew long,
as my hair took form.
My muscles contracted,

went active.

Now He's into Mice and AI
In high school
he was into me
Groped me in my sparkly blue Firebird
as we listened to Billy Joel
I pushed him away
I can't help it, he said
You've got looks.
He was just part of my crowd
Never a close friend
Definitely not a boyfriend
Hadn't thought of him in ages
Looked him up on Facebook
His background photo shows mice
So does his portrait photo.
Mice!
Mice everywhere.
Hand built castles for mice
with tiny arched doorways,
and meticulously designed
little napping...

The Feeder
The bird feeder was the it place to be.
When filled with a simple yet glorious feast.
The fluttering wings of the landing birds,
brings hurting hearts a silent joy.
Acrobatic whirling & flapping,
the birds are happy and coy.
Rogue birds on the porch table
devouring stray food.
A full bird is one with nothing to brood.
Should become a human mood.
And below two cloud colored bunnies gather.
Around two squirrels enigmatic pursuit.
A hurting heart would rather,
loosen a root to the pain.
Let the natural world...

The Clotilda (A Day in the Swamp)
When the darkness of my night
provides no shelter from my storms,
I'll use my sunshine to spend a day in the swamp,
to wash my blues away clear to the ocean.
I'll make ripples in the water
on a borrowed boat
running the banks and
exploring the feeder creeks,
while turtles dive from their logs and
alligators smile as they slide into the murky water.
But you'll never see the Clotilda,
not even at low tide
I'll watch tiny orchids bloom,
talk to the cypress trees,
listen to...

while turtles dive from their logs and

Poochie
I didn't expect my black Cocker Spaniel to die.
He died 30 years ago today on the 14th of July.
He was born in 1981 and Poochie was his name.
He was killed by a car and it was a damn shame.
Poochie was unfriendly at times and sometimes he would bite.
But he was my dog and when that car killed him, it wasn't right.
It was sad because my dog couldn't live anymore.
He died thirty years ago on July the 14th of 1994.

We Are What We Eat
tortured, murdered, shrieking, squeeling
several billion each day die
a billion terrorized whose feelings
are ignored by the unwise
only those who do not murder
or pay others for their crimes
can evolve any further
in such cruel and brutal times
compassion is the one masala
sprinkled on the food we eat
elevating spirit farther
making consciousness complete
becoming one with interstellar
beings which surround the Earth
watching humans getting better
watching humans giving birth
to a more...

Come & Get It!!!
Y'all like my big black BBQ grill that's 9 x 9
Raise my own steers and hogs
Slaughter, slice, and eat all the time
I'm a meat eaten motherfucker 3 squares a day
Give me a weak defenseless creature
And I'll make them pay
See the flames flickering and crackling
As they dance on flesh
Trimmed & lean USDA
We demand the best
Naked nubiles dance by firelight
As we wait to eat
Serve it up on gilded platters
Rare & saucy sweet
Raise my own steers and hogs
Slaughter, slice, and eat all the time
I'm a meat eaten motherfucker 3 squares a day
Give me a weak defenseless creature
And I'll make them pay
See the flames flickering and crackling
As they dance on flesh
Trimmed & lean USDA
We demand the best
Naked nubiles dance by firelight
As we wait to eat
Serve it up on gilded platters
Rare & saucy sweet
