risen rose what now no one knows
knowledge knees praying please
pardon ill will wander wanting what
cannot be found water all around.

[fata morgana]

Satchmo’s town
Is goin’ down
A crestfallen
Summertime drowns
out the laments
Ella’s fella
believes there’s a bella
for every berieved
believer
a melodic din

[fata morgana]

Another J. dream
to reel in
don’t remember it
well enough
but the blue print
sovereign remains
a bitter reminder

[crazycloud]

an old blue fly
sits by the drain
rubbing his legs
together

[likeaghost]

plastic plees pardon these
words will not matter when
ever everything breaks beat
box spoon hawks gawk back
slack seems to be perfect see
saw who never breeze blah.

[fata morgana]

Trying to preserve
   Nothing
  At the expense
    of Something
  When will I learn?
    Burnt keys suggest
        Silver lightning
           Ingests
      and travels
     across
       my arched heart
           my acrid pond
                taylored
                   to match

the northern lights
dance in the sky
absinthe green
too bad they
dont serve absinthe
in alaska

My eyes need adjustiing to this new board.I thought the name of this topic is the Poultry Thread maybe we should have a poultry thread?

[fata morgana]

I hate my job
I hate my job
I hate my job
Cluck, cluck
But I’m too afraid
                          to leave
              I’d rather croak
                  with a note
                    in my hand
               than with a heart
               on my sleeve

sunk says better guess
got going too soon
doom during closed door
chore chasing truth
gracing good guys eyes,
lies left alone on screen
shown then blown up
under slumber stole steep
leap longing for a leader.

[fata morgana]

Oh,
someone
should slap
some poe
on the dos
oh
here’s to you
Mrs. Robinson
Jesus…
no…

a cool spool thread said
so why are you broke?
No joke needed parking
prohibited not seeing
signs lines loss towed
bank now showed zero
my new hero rock bottom
but still smiling silly calm
chilly cut short weekend
report home came didn’t
even see the game, shame
careless car kept to blame.

red herring-blue heron

Who do we think we are ?
Fucking like Gods
on Clouds of Joy
while Hounds herd
underneath the bed
to raise Hell

Posts knock
Silence into sleep
Paws greet
Hair of the Dog
Raised on its head

Must we knock
The Good Book’s
Calendar
Cause it to
Unwind and Repeat

Mystique’s skin
Water’s Foul pages
Ripple across
the River’s
Black grout

[crazycloud]

end the war today
let the children play
let us stop the slaughter
and clean up the water
