Hugejean too

One day ms dove decided to be a pigeon

So she puffed and inflated herself

More than a smidgen

Hugejean observed

Quite bemused

To this adoration

He supposed he

Should

Get used

Hugejean colors

Pigeons are a rainbow of feathers

And fluff

Of the beauty of these birds

There is never enough

When there is

When there is sense to the senseless

Strength in the defenseless

No shadows in the night

Courage more than fright

There is always light

April 27th is love your thighs day😜

April 27th is love your thighs day 😜

Ode to da flab

Oh thighs you hold my habeas corpus up

Oh how sweet

But you could do the same job with without

The cellulite

Who needs the cottage cheese and or leg jello

I’d prefer my legs solid okay

Hello

Below the knees things okay

But above

Flubber go away

So rattle roll

But lose the shaking

That never goes away no matter

How much exercise we

Are making😀

Have a most grooveous 🎶You

If only

If only together we could dance

Embrace the music of your voice

Another chance

To share those moments we adored

That together here on earth

Are no more

But time has chosen a different way

So goodbyes we had to say

As copious as our tears may be

We know

You are now safe in god’s company

As you dance among the stars

In the vastness of sky

Bonds are forever

Love never dies

Porcupine

He greets the world with spikes

And barbs

One can get just so close

Without risking harm

Afraid to hurt

But only himself

So he shivers

Under his armor

Alone on his

Shelf

April 26 is international guide dog day

Guideheart

I have eyes but I cannot see

Yet I know there is a world

It is all around me

I have ears but I cannot hear

But I know I am safe when

You are near

I sit in this chair, I cannot move

My legs or arms

With you by my side,

I will not be harmed

You are my soul, my body

My friend

Our trust is forever

The bond that shall not end

In dog we trust🐾❤️🐾❤️

I became mother

I became mother to my mother’s memories

Keeper of the things she never told me

Reading between the lines

She never read to me

Lives only hinted at

Deep covered in her history

Holding them close I

Hear her cry

Why she lashed out at mostly,

The generations of misery

Hunger and need

As I understand now her

Emotional greed

I became mother to my

Mother’s memories

As I kiss them goodnight

So tenderly.

Etched forever

A part of me.

Biggie a.k.a. Hugejean

I sit

I feed

I watch

I wait

I love

I fly

A pigeon

Am I

The droplets

The droplets life affirming rain

Kiss the petals of flowers

Again and again

As in dreams we flourish

So sincere

And wait for the sunshine

Drawing ever near

I look up to the sky

When I do not

know why

When answers elude

When questions linger

I listen to the quiet voice

There are things that remain

Mysteries

In that knowledge I rejoice

The mystery of flight

On wings light

Birds get it right

We are still their

Students

Try as we might

(This an actual photo I took, not an app)

In those moments blue

Tired and worn

By the gifts of nature

I look upon

I heal

I feel

The magic

It’s real

Pigeon pride

In ourselves we

Stand tall

Whatever misconceptions

You have us

We do not care

At all

We are proud to be

Members of the nations of

Pigeonry

❤️🐦❤️

April 19 is national banana 🍌 day

❤️💛🍌😃happy Wednesday and banana daze😃

Bananas one of the fruits I crave

At times it even is my fave

But to share it I must be schmoozed

Or by kisses coerced

I loves my daddy

But parting with even a

Bites of my banana

Hurts

Sharing is caring

Or so “they” say

But I’d rather keep it to

Myself anyway

Magic Mikey keeper of 2 humans who are slightly bananas🤪

April 17th is blah blah blah day

❤️🪶🦜happy Monday April 17th which also happens to be blah blah blah day😃

Before yada yada there was blah blah blah

So sheepish the human’s baa baa baaa

Them humans verbally ramble much nonsense

I squawk get to the point

I cannot take the suspense

Eventually they find whatever meaning,

Deep

But by that time

I have fallen asleep 😴

MagicmikeycuteasaurusT 🦖wrecksnpecks

Here they are trying to look “normal” but we knows better 😃

Aoril 17 is bat appreciation day

The world of bats

To some so strange
A world of fear
A world deranged
But in the dark
Can you see
What they consider
Familiarity
As it glows and leads
The way
So they can be bats
Another day
and help us humans
As they play.

We need them. They need us!

Colors

Colors and hues

Remind me of

You

And where we were

When we glistened,

Too

In my feathers

In my feathers I stand

Proud and grand

In the way I live

And what I understand

April 16th is save the elephant day

How blessed we are to be on the same planet as the magnificent , regal, highly evolved, sensitive, magical being known as the elephant.

We as a species would be far more relevant

If we aspired to be more like

The elephant ❤️🐘

Words cannot express what a gift they are

In the silence of sound
A deafening roar
What will happen
To the world
If we hear it, no more.
It is said that an elephant never forgets.
Can it also be said that we will never forget elephants.
