Starlings
. Flowers so rare and fine, Missing from this dry world, Lost, unwatered, unseen, yet No ones and none despaired, They then planted their garish Seed in blot sun, most sodden, Soppy soils sprayed which fell On the plainest, most commoner Grounds, such fertile dirt, wrought, Then, all who came to view where But gaggles of proud mediocrity Who arrived to revel and preen, Unjust, they remade this earth, Once lively, to be lame, what Celebrations they now need What praises they do crave, Sadly, they could not know, A flower for the weeds. .

Starlings
. Sad kings would have themselves Be known as Bard, tho without music They clack song, clang along, bleeding Ears in their sycophantic, bull kingdoms, The horns, hardly trumpet in the barnyards, For it is writ, because they have so inscribed, All must now be audience, and used witness, The spotted fawn, is all their sorrowed brilliance, Yet, the tower raven mocks these kings crowing, How they vainly display their sorry proclamations On flea broken, loosed, rusted, disused abacus, Their tabulations of worths non are mounted In a mirror by their chambers and hands, But all the knowledge of fallen Rome Are simply pleasures to dream, As their dim wordy dreams Know praises so hollow, As fools on a throne.

In plain sight, the Peacocks ply their wearisome Colours. Awkwardly swaying, pompously preening, They cry to be seen, their voices are gurgling And gawking. The direction of wind is their vane. Overhead, in the secret sky fleet wings are truth. In the sun the searing Falcon is seeing all; His talons turn and steal away, they are mad, Playful fingers— they will have their say.

Peacocks
. In mid airs, dimly, The ****** birds cluck, Only flutter useless wings For they are grounded, Nor are they beautiful, O how they feign singing, Gutteral cluckings only fit For predators to stalk, Lame ugly birds prefer The company of other Lame, ugly, groundy birds, With no things, ever, to sing, Only to preen and beak For scraps under trees, Where winged songbirds Lit by the flighty sun Do truly sing.

Poetry Was Once a Flower
There are ********* near, Who fain love yet disappear When cool sun is a light. Hello Poetry, mediocre Is their way, do not play, Let posers hang each other. Weakly poets pretend to be Relevant, yet, never amend Spend days saying me, ME! See the fiefdoms offered Yet, held close to shames, Let awful set each to flame, In hollow, with an empty page, So many useless words dredged, Wounded egos pathetically end.

Hello Poetry, Beware
Today, a poem should be palatable, cute As a Kiwi fruit, Dumb As a horse battalion's scudding run, Strident as out of tune horns Of basement bands where the gloss has grown— A poem should be bloodless As the slight of words. A poem should be film of ocean brine As the reel unwinds, Cleaving as the gear greases Spoke by spoke the light smearing breeze, Blowing, to the temple outhouse Exalting all the ****** functions— A poem should be not true: Equal too. For all the history of vanity An empty room and a bass relief For lust The keening masses and no light above the stream A poem should not be But mean.

Haiku ( HP luminaries )
. Words, so many words, ****** of meaning— Flailed at admirers, So much pulp and filth On the ****** page— O how the vain can spill Blood in an ocean drained Of salt, in a vast vacuum Of listeners who only Aspire to sully themselves. Is there meaning in followers, Deaf, drinking in a whine? Are the stars only gaudy dots To spill on a black canvass? The feigned, would be human Stars fall in the cold, reigning Drivel of wet, grey words, That dry in the sand box desert.                       Spare us the shallow veins, The caved insights— Of your shadows.
