our blessings to be counted

 our blessings to be counted

on butterfly wings

so far the fly 

above all the

bad things.

do we

 as we sit and contemplate a world forever altered

perhaps by man and by fate
do we hear other voices in the room
or are they drowned out by our
own gloom.
do we feel the heartbeats
of all on earth so dear
ALL the beings
who ALL belong here.

parrots4peace

 peace here on earth as we reach for the stars!

parrots for peace.
no war,
no more.
no hate.
for love
we wait.
before it
is too late.

So goes the flowers

 So goes the flower 

The earth revolves

The flower sits in the dirt 

Or above the land 

The world of hurt.

The buds push away 

The flower no longer heard

Though it still bursts

With sound and word.

The flower ignored all it was told

But then it never thought it

Would grow 

Old 

Out

 The twilight zone

Captured by 

My phone 

Like a feather in the trees

 Like a feather in the trees

Alone

Among the green

Grace in the process

 Grace in the process 

As time ‘s kiss

Makes one weary 

Flower looks like

 Flower looks like a turkey

Sometimes nature is quirky 

The purple dragon

 

The purple dragon
Lives in the sky
she lives to play
she lives to fly
And though she admires
The world below,
she knows it is not 
A safe place to go

She seeks

 She seeks the restorative

warmth of love

In an air of chilly silence

Mustache autumn

 Mustache autumn prefers to smile

If only for a little while 

Leaf dinotoepia

 Tell me do you see 

Leaves that look 

Like dino feet

Or is it just me🦖🤪

Autumnal pink

 Pink I think 

 Green in between 

how pretty

 how pretty our world

how far removed

from all the wicked

human grooves.

no twisted machinations here

just divine colors so

very clear.

clouded leopard

 clouded leopard

clouded leopard
ray of light
your beauty shines
all day and
night.

sunshine and creamsicle

these precious birds were my greeting committee as for fluids i would go

they sang so very sweetly, i often would think "they know"

my mom and dad would admire as they played and fed

and when in their little coconuts they would go and

rest their heads.

like me they were not healthy and required a lot of care

and care and love they found, in the best dr's office

anywhere.

then covid came and we could only see them from afar

my humans always asked and wondered how they are.

then the angels up in heaven, asked for four more wings

and up went one than the other.

such is the order of things.

we cried because we miss them and their joy they brought us all

now heaven is blessed to have them

but all who knew them miss them most

of all

magic mikey

the gate the healing

 we stand across from an open gate 

whose bars only bar

those that hate

we can choose to cross

this beckoning street

with peace and healing

at our feet.

choose love...as love chooses you!

garage eagle lovetime

 our days are filled with the mundane things

but when we can find the time

our heart's love sings!

hobbes

what is a friend

what does one say

when a dear friend

goes away.

there are no words that

can convey

the love and joy

you brought to each day.

and the pain we feel

without you,

today.

rest on angel wings, pretty kitty

 

Very query

 Did you ever wonder how the world would be

If it were run by creatures other than we?

Politrix

 The toxic waste of politics

Hate and lies

The usual tricks

The autumness

 The beauty of autumness 

Helps us forget 

That the world 

Is a mess.

stupor beets

Although we dwell in this stage of decrepitude,

 we have decided to embrace a happy attitude.

we started to imbibe these here powdered beets.

By fogeyitis we will not accept defeat. 

As you can tell by this pic borrowed from my phone,

the taste is gross do not try this at home

gonna guzzle another glass at the end of this poem

the rise of fall

the rise of fall

as leaves cascade

oblivious to

our charade

the chaos that

we seem to stir

leaves floating by

seem to almost purr.

Fall leaves

 Fall leaves are feathers from trees who cannot fly.

Big puff

 Big puff does not worry about the cold

Nor think about growing old.

The last rose

 The last rose slowly lowered her head 

As autumn beckons her 

To bed.

National Black Cat Day October 27

 we love to be kitties

we love to play

we are black cats

and this is our day

we are not fodder for

superstitions

nor familiars for spells

we are not halloween prank victims

as anyone with a heart and brain

can tell

so celebrate our feline grace and beauty.

after all, humans

that is  your duty!

by love

we are a moving entity. we sail from port to port, smoothly or battered about by the waves of circumstance. our voyage is one of fits and starts. pauses and repeats. the seas flourish as we traverse, in the glaring sun or behind the clouds of the moon.

it is love that guides. that star that shines brightly, or slips away.

beckoning, withdrawing, beckoning again.

by love

for love

with love

of love.

So laced

 In the ponder of wander,

The restless mind

Seeks solace.

One of those daze

 Went to laundry room downstairs 

To quickly do the wash

Ah my dreams of haste 

So quickly quashed 

Washing machine 

I chose left me with 

Wet clothes 

After two hours of drying I fell

Laundry cart now squashed

The. Elevator needed service

Oh how I need a life cushier 

And posh.

Silly

Puppies milled

puppies, milled
We live here in a puppy mill
It is winter now, and we are
So chilled
When summer comes the
Heat is very strong
Our fur gets matted,
It gets too long
We cannot breathe
We cannot see
we can only feel
our misery
please rescue us
please get us out
we are not human
so we cannot shout

Sing i

 I sing to the sky 

The sun the clouds 

The world below

Both soft and loud.

the time is never enough

 the time is never enough

the rhyme is always rough

the reason the heartbeats

the sounds i hear

so far away

you are not near

if i could set the clock

and redo

all the time i spent with you

more love upon you i 

would pour

but now i cannot do

that

anymore

i miss you

kiss you

never dismiss you

i hope you know

i think you do

i did my best

so did you

our last moment

everlast

love is the power

never past.

i will never dig my way

out of this sad

but when i think

of the honor to know you

i am glad.

Sparroweye

 Sparroweye what do you see

As I look at you

Do you look

At me
