Schizophrenic
So untamed, it Blows So surged, it Howls So wrapped, it Unfurls There swirls thee stumbled Here narrows the gate of nestle Drizzles are drown too subtle to afloat, Stormy navy sky's gone too distant from home. Only yearned Thatness. The grounded drop took a leap into the sky soars the azure into the sunray flows the torrid As the rain not yet make its curtain call, is the next symphony coming? Summer sundown sinks me in subtle Here I heard a cuckoo

Thatness
My butt's wet With buttsweat, My ******* With nutsweat. I bust *** With swamp *** That bubbles With swamp gas. The cuckoo's A-singin'; The bees are A-stingin; The thunders A-drummin; The sumers Icumen.

Sing Cuccu
The cuckoo's whisper in this sweet evening Is more lovelier than love has been Throughout eve she keeps on whispering For somebody, whom she has never seen The vesper is on and fervent Angels sings They lift up their choir to heavenly height Amid, this sweet whisper, the cuckoo brings And make this place and time a holy rite Such peace, tranquility and harmony Was felt all over and around the place And nobody would be with agony For everybody was blessed with grace Yet I sit here alone with mournful lips And ponder about the past with a grief For l, doomed like Odysseus and his ships Cry like a newborn baby in the eves Her mortal vestige is in grave and oh It has been years and years, since she has been But still today I can hear and can know She is here always, though she can't be seen

The cuckoo’s whisper
Sumer is icumen in anonymous Middle English poem, circa 1260 AD loose translation/interpretation by Michael R. Burch Summer is a-comin’! Sing loud, cuckoo! The seed grows, The meadow blows, The woods spring up anew. Sing, cuckoo! The ewe bleats for her lamb; The cows contentedly moo; The bullock roots, The billy-goat poots ... Sing merrily, cuckoo! Cuckoo, cuckoo, You sing so well, cuckoo! Never stop, until you're through! Sing now cuckoo! Sing, cuckoo! Sing, cuckoo! Sing now cuckoo! ********* Keywords/Tags: Middle English, medieval, reading, rota, round, partsong, summer, cuckoo, sing, cuckold, seed, meadow, woods, ewe, lamb, cows, bullock, goat, billy-goat, poot, **** pass gas, never stop These notes were taken from the poem's Wikipedia page ... "Sumer Is Icumen In" (also called the Summer Canon and the Cuckoo Song) is a medieval English round or rota of the mid-13th century. The title translates approximately to "Summer Has Come In" or "Summer Has Arrived". The song is composed in the Wessex dialect of Middle English. Although the composer's identity is unknown today, it may have been W. de Wycombe. The manuscript in which it is preserved was copied between 1261 and 1264. This rota is the oldest known musical composition featuring six-part polyphony. It is sometimes called the Reading Rota because the earliest known copy of the composition, a manuscript written in mensural notation, was found at Reading Abbey; it was probably not drafted there, however (Millett 2004). The British Library now retains this manuscript (Millett 2003a). A rota is a type of round, which in turn is a kind of partsong. To perform the round, one singer begins the song, and a second starts singing the beginning again just as the first got to the point marked with the red cross in the first figure below. The length between the start and the cross corresponds to the modern notion of a bar, and the main verse comprises six phrases spread over twelve such bars. In addition, there are two lines marked "Pes", two bars each, that are meant to be sung together repeatedly underneath the main verse. These instructions are included (in Latin) in the manuscript itself: "Hanc rota cantare possum quatuor socii. A paucio/ribus autem quam a tribus uel saltem duobus non debet/ dici preter eos qui dicunt pedem. Canitur autem sic. Tacen/tibus ceteris unus inchoat *** hiis qui tenent pedem. Et *** uenerit/ ad primam notam post crucem, inchoat alius, et sic de ceteris./ Singuli de uero repausent ad pausacionis scriptas et/non alibi, spacio unius longe note." (Four companions can sing this round. But it should not be sung by fewer than three, or at the very least, two in addition to those who sing the pes. This is how it is sung. While all the others are silent, one person begins at the same time as those who sing the ground. And when he comes to the first note after the cross [which marks the end of the first two bars], another singer is to begin, and thus for the others. Each shall observe the written rests for the space of one long note [triplet], but not elsewhere.) The lyric may have been composed by W. de Wycombe, also identified as W de Wyc, Willelmus de Winchecumbe, Willelmo de Winchecumbe or William of Winchcomb. He appears to have been a secular scribe and precentor employed for about four years at the priory of Leominster in Herefordshire during the 1270s. He is also thought to have been a sub-deacon of the cathedral priory as listed in the Worcester Annals or possibly a monk at St Andrew's in Worcester. But it is not know if he composed the song, or merely preserved it by copying it.

Can I be the sun ray, that brightens in many ways, of the day that shines through, all natural and ever glowing. Can I be the cuckoo song, that sets a tune without grammar, of the lilting music to deaf ears, all soothing and wonder inducing. Can I be the thought, that worships another thought, of the superior one that I believe in, all powerful and hope filling. Can I be the rocky mountain, that stands tall without emotion, trapping the dark clouds in its arms, ever calm and meaningfully inspiring. Can I be the fancy mirror, that shows my reflection without a bias, keeping its judgment to itself, so, I can answer finally, “who am I?”?

Can I?
When my sun is hidden, I must rely upon on my moon’s shine. When my chakra is askew, I must realign. Learning the things I already knew. They flew over my head cause I’m cuckoo.

Head Nest
I am the cuckoo clock, Precise,authentic,steadfast  as a rock. All day long, Tick tock, tick tock goes my song. Hung on the wall, In the main hall, Tick tock, tick tock, tick, Not a wink, My pendulum swings to and fro, As I view people come and go. On the dot of the hour, My cuckoo slides in and out of the door, Chirps a lovely cuckoo call, Young and old in the hall, They cheer all. I am their cuckoo clock, A piece of artistic work, My master's pride, The family's guide, To their various routines, For many many seasons I have been, On their wall, In the main hall.

Cuckoo Clock
Love What's unsaid about it? Still it's different and unique for everyone. Sometimes,for me its like songs of cuckoo bird. Sun that rose again in my life, a green oasis in a desert, The best part of my youth. and sometimes, i am a lone warrior in the battlefield, searching for the enemy soul, dont know where to find and how to defeat!.. I am not afraid of break-ups or passionate love. since who knows, what love has at store! the equal amount of love back? Happiness? Atrocities? or may be a surprise?

Love
If I were a person stronger than myself My insecurities would disappear Would you hear worried absurd thoughts If murmured into your ear? You would be horrified to learn The madness running my brain If I was less crazy my head would be too It's a shame that instead I am insane.

We're All Mad Here
In the audio recording you sent me An hour of touching yourself punishment for misbehavior you giggle and cry at the same time With a trembling whimper It's too late now, for a confession. We were never so honest, as our *** Violent, passionate suspending reality momentarily Life's one true sin, objectification. And now, you are a recording. Your eye begging Me, The Cuckoo Bird To Free you from your own fingers like the cuckoo bird My religion Only gave me one hour To howl, at passing time.

Cuckoo Bird
True love is: A waxwing bird feeding A cuckoo who was left in her nest The starving cuckoo is pleading The waxwing is doing her best.

Waxwing
O the flower sways,the flower sways! Why does the gentle wind blow! O the river picks up a sway! O flows away with its 'gentle' noise! O why does the cuckoo,in every garden Kuhu, Kuhu,Kuhu, does it sing! O why,who knows,for what? O Haay!Haay! Does the heart?

Move do they!
Early morning It was in the early morning, blackbird song and long wet grass, shuffling through making trails in dew In the early mornings of my life. Something of magic in the sun slanting through wet dripping branches, pearls of water drops in spidery webs enchaining blade to blade in the long wet grass. It was in the early morning rising from warm sheets when hearing that cuckoo summons from far distant woods, calling , welcoming me forth into the dewy day, doors unbolted, stepping from within dark walls, shadowed kitchens, cold and stony floor. Stepping forth and catching at my heart. They were. Sun’s rays, dewy grass, pearls of water drops.

Almost Romantic (Haiku - 58)
A cuckoo sings its first spring voice The cider maker cracks his cork on this year’s choice English apples presented from pre years press Picked and selected to impress Bottled and ready for drinkers wide and far Vision distorting with every jar From orchards up and down the land Drinkers search the best in town Scrumpy be the drinkers rot Weak willed should try it not A test once tasted of a brewers fare An enjoyment discovered but just take care For once you have past the half way mark You’ll soon be singing and dancing with the larks

Visiting the lark
She cuckoos & swags across the heart for stealing the breath off its beat, I enjoy listening to her voices whispering from somewhere outta Georgia street *William Shakespeare did speak, ***"In delay there lies no plenty,---- Then come kiss me, sweety-n-twenty"*** So I do write, ***"Her devotional love makes the oceans restive,--- Even a breath of her ice crystals muse makes my heart festive"*** And, winds blow Her love arrives to my way, Waves starting to flow in one-direction where there's no sun-ray* With some caramel hues of her nocturnal love, I inhale her throughout the night Melancholy clouds burst out, though No Mistreat, The echoes of rain start whispering around me, &, along such a mist, she cuckoos & swags across the heart with naked feet.
