Not to Kill the Pianist's Mockingbird (A Sonnet in Dark Tones)
In somber hues, the dusk begins to play,
a dirge on keys of silence, sharp and deep.
A mockingbird croons echoes of decay,
its solemn songs where wounded shadows creep.
The pianist sits as a phantom of the stage.
Fingers like ghosts upon a weathered score.
Each note, a tale of grief—a mourning cage.
A hymn for lives that fate shall keep no more.
Yet still, the strings of night refuse to break,
their mournful whispers thread through midnight’s veil.
The mockingbird and pianist awake...
A dance of death where sorrow...
a dirge on keys of silence, sharp and deep.
A mockingbird croons echoes of decay,
its solemn songs where wounded shadows creep.
The pianist sits as a phantom of the stage.
Fingers like ghosts upon a weathered score.
Each note, a tale of grief—a mourning cage.
A hymn for lives that fate shall keep no more.
Yet still, the strings of night refuse to break,
their mournful whispers thread through midnight’s veil.
The mockingbird and pianist awake...
A dance of death where sorrow...

Raving About A Raven
A big black beautiful Raven
Landed on my balcony this morning
It was massive!
I was glad my window was shut
As it looked magnifiscently fearsome!
But wow!
It was less than six feet away from me
It eyed me
With an intelligent curiousity
Decided maybe
That i was to big to eat
And took wing!

beauty in chaos
the roaring sky cried in joy
pearly droplets of tears,
the parched soil quickly
soaked up
every ounce of rain;
in between heavens and earth,
the wind ran berserk.
the clatter...the commotion
caused some stir-
a zealous acceptance
of the change of weather,
inspiring leaves to dance,
and trees to sway,
in intoxicating merriment
the flowers sprang
in a bountiful spray,
while animals and birds ...

balance
With outstretched arms, nature calls to me
With the sunrise and birdsong
The wildflowers in the garden
dazzle my vision
the trees hold up the sky
I knew it was going to be a beautiful day
sacred harmony, everything working in order after their kind
My day started as all days, feeding the cats
Chickens and roosters mine eat together
It's a funny alliance
My dog, still asleep in bed will need to be walked soon
But for now, it is a quiet morning of observation
The earth is humming, and whether you realize it...

Locomote
a family of five
adults strutting “ en pointe “
the young, miniatures
giving playful chase
Our early morning walk
Me for light impact exercise
Them, I assume, looking
Bugs, worms, whatever
Reminded me of a Tap Dancer
who had not yet donned
metal plates
rendering them silent taps
tapping
This morning, one adult
flew high and very quick
never knew (or seen)
a Quail could Fly like that

Some berries and a giraffe's kiss
Let me take you to a divine place
where strawberries blush and interlace.
In the heart of the savannah they bloom
soft whispers of life in nature’s room.
The rain falls warm, like a lover's sigh.
A tender caress from a generous sky.
Its drops linger embracing the earth
feeding the fields where beauty finds birth.
The light, so cool, shimmers and plays,
casting shadows in intricate arrays.
A gentle balm to the heat’s embrace
illuminating dreams in this secret space.
Feel the pulse of the land, its steady...

A naughty girl
Once upon a time a little girl was going to take her doll for a walk when there she was, meeting two nice little birds
She dropped them a pretty little bow and said to them,
"Good afternoon, little birds, will you play with me?"
"I have some lovely candy in my little bag"
"I'll give you some"
One of the birds said, "I have no objection"
and the other said, "Neither do I"
They enjoyed themselves very much until it was nearly evening
Then the little birds said, "We want to go away now"
But...

the lament of blackbirds
my sadness peaks in the internal storms
resting in my sanctuary of doubt
with the belief I am safe from the chaotic feelings
hunkered down behind the strongest walls
A strangled scream is ripped from my soul
as I see faces in the window
people I care for vanishing
It is time to close down
and yet my soul chooses to linger
haunting a place that knows me well
it's halls my sacred place
my forlorn demons look to me
We are once again homeless
blackbirds of the host picking at carrion
taking flight to land...
resting in my sanctuary of doubt
with the belief I am safe from the chaotic feelings
hunkered down behind the strongest walls
A strangled scream is ripped from my soul

and yet my soul chooses to linger
haunting a place that knows me well
it's halls my sacred place
my forlorn demons look to me
We are once again homeless
blackbirds of the host picking at carrion

The Nostalgic Nightingale
Perched on a withering branch
The nightingale sings a melancholic song
With a voice that remembers the past
Like echoes of spring from long, long ago
As the wind stirs amidst the trees
The nightingale sings a despondent tune
A winged memory of open blue skies
Now painted with a little more gloom…
But at night the nightingale sits in silence
Warm in the nest looking up at the stars
While the wind whispers amidst the trees
And leaves fall gently on the ground
The little bird reminisces of times
Of days lived and laughed and gone ...

Luna Murmurings
Like newly born stars
Murmurations
Of a multitude starlings
Were creating
A myriad abstracts in the sky
In perfect harmony
An orchestra of beautiful nature
Performing a ballet
Under a sky
With a mixture of hues
Of pinks, and blues
Which then, began to grey
As light bid goodnight, to the day
Soon the moon slowly arose
Full, bright, and mischevious
Laying low, in a darkening night
Whilst pixies danced
Beneath its radiant glow
Far below, far below
As the ocean crashed
Ebb, and flo, ebb and flo ...
