Pheasants

 






Out in the barnyard

Stinkiest foul fowl proclaimed

Pheasants bow to me

Pecked and scratched his messy mark

All his chickens clucked around

Passion

 





Passion for fashion

With all those palettes clashing

Never been my style

Not sayin' I'm dull or nuthin'

But gray's my color druthers

Swallow

 






Summer day bike ride 

Found a wet cement pillar 

At sun baked streets end

City park bubbler welcome 

At last a cooling swallow

Has a cotton ball glue skin 

Flocculent Fuzzy

Is my Tik Tok nom de plume 

Like. 👍🏻 Share. ⤴️ My big baaa baaa boom 🐑

Cabinet

 






Cabinet tchotchkes

Emporium of the dim

Displayed for the world

Unctuous eunuchs submit 

Kneel and bob in unison

Heart on Fir

 




With my heart on Fir
Woke with an oak in my head
Pulled up my Birches
Kissed my dear Maple goodbye
Undid the door Larch and left

Nascent








Nascent ruin for most
Mimicry of the lifestyle
Rich and shameless ruse
Blatantly picking pockets
Selling we can be like them

Greeezy

 







digital pucker
with musk bezos and zucker
potted flesh for them
greased with their filthy lucre
canned spam American scam

Fooled Again

 




The fool swayed on stage
While the fools lapped it all up 
"I don't need you fools" 
"I've fooled enough already" 
As the fools all fell in line

Friend

 



Few that I call friend
Over time fewer still hear
Battles fought each year
Even when they were long lost
Still grateful to see you near

Sapphire Banter

 


My last found lover
Can seduce like no other
Her special allure
Turns my awkward blue chatter
To slutty sapphire banter

Exposed

 


Expose film to light

Dark. Chemical bath. More light.

Develop photo

You're the film exposed to light

Be the paper of your life
