Old Boots

Cracked leather and sole /
A toiling life fills these boots /
Resting under bed

20 Jan 2010

Carcass is a poem about a corpse that is being feasted on by lions while vultures try to steal their share. It was inspired by the 15 random words (in blue) provided by the following twitter followers.

Carcass

Vultures twitter about entre nous, plumage rustling
a penultimate feast invoking ptyalism around
yet great cats won’t relinquish possession
massive throats purring like Ducati engines
eyes easily able to extrapolate intentions
the birds turnabout and provoke a nuance reaction
cats startled faces aglow like fire from a lamplight
seizing their viable chance with razor beaks
an Adam’s apple torn out and swallowed quickly
before the cats close in and frighten them off
the dance repeats for claim of the carcass
and persistence eventually pays off

Butterfly

Vulnerable sapphire butterfly
triangulating on an odoriferous flower
alliance of peace between plant and bug
nothing to sublimate it from its pollen obsession
its delicate majesty enthralls your eyes
as its wings seem to enclose the flower petals
it finishes its work and moves onward in moments
my eyes linger on its blue wings in flight
and my spirits are lifted on its back

Turkey Run

Astonishment at the truthful superstition
all finally would end up as a steamy meal
with nobody to atone for their actions

A relational plan developed with much pizazz
they would extricate themselves from farm
sheathing themselves underground for safety

The plan however, went horribly wrong
a scout was not punctual in his return
focus distracted, the humans descended

A supposedly simple mission assigned
lead to a turkey massacre aftermath
inept espionage was the only blame

The turkey run had failed.

handcuffed

Repeat Offender

Handcuffed, sitting listless an insipid imbecile
now unable to brag about your deed on Twitter
humility an inconceivable thought and emotion
feeling vilified for a simple unnamed crime
a volunteer with blithe indifference for laws
RAP sheet a list of failures and mistakes
contaminated dirt needing phytoremediation
recurring theme of corruption destined to repeat
professed lover of crime and chaos until being caught
only the jailhouse blues to keep you company now
no positive In Memoriam will decorate your grave stone
yet no regret exists for committing camera fraud
