"coot" poems
'O babbling brook,' says Edmund in his rhyme, 'Whence come you?' and the brook, why not? replies. I come from haunts of coot and hern, I make a sudden sally, And sparkle out among the fern, To bicker down a valley. By thirty hills I hurry down, Or slip between the ridges, By twenty thorps, a little town, And half a hundred bridges. Till last by Philip's farm I flow To join the brimming river, For men may come and men may go, But I go on for ever. 'Poor lad, he died at Florence, quite worn out, Travelling to Naples. There is Darnley bridge, It has more ivy; there the river; and there Stands Philip's farm where brook and river meet. I chatter over stony ways, In little sharps and trebles, I bubble into eddying bays, I babble on the pebbles. With many a curve my banks I fret By many a field and fallow, And many a fairy foreland set With willow-weed and mallow. I chatter, chatter, as I flow To join the brimming river, For men may come and men may go, But I go on for ever. 'But Philip chatter'd more than brook or bird; Old Philip; all about the fields you caught His weary daylong chirping, like the dry High-elbow'd grigs that leap in summer grass. [grig = cricket - m.] I wind about, and in and out, With here a blossom sailing, And here and there a ***** trout, And here and there a grayling, And here and there a foamy flake Upon me, as I travel With many a silvery waterbreak Above the golden gravel, And draw them all along, and flow To join the brimming river, For men may come and men may go, But I go on for ever.

I come from haunts of coot and hern; I make a sudden sally; I sparkle out among the fern To bicker down a valley. By thirty hills I hurry down, Or slip between the ridges, By twenty thorps, a little town, And half a hundred bridges. At last by Philip's farm I flow To join the brimming river, For men may come and men may go, But I go on forever. I chatter over stony ways In sharps and trebles; I bubble into eddying bay; I babble on the pebbles. I chatter, chatter as I flow To join the brimming river, For men may come and men may go, But I go on forever. I wind about, and in and out, With here a blossom sailing, And here and there a ***** trout, And here and there a grayling. And here and there a foamy flake Upon me, as I travel With many a silvery waterbreak Above the golden gravel, And draw them all along, and flow To joing the brimming river; For men may come and men may go, But I go on forever. I steal by lawns and grassy plots; I slide by hazel covers; I move the sweet forget-me-nots That grow for happy lovers. I slip, I slide, I gloom, I glance Among my skimming swallows; I make the netted sunbeams dance Against my sandy shallows. I murmur under moon and stars In brambly wildernesses; I linger by my shingly bars; I loiter round my cresses; And out again I curve and flow To join the brimming river; For men may come and men may go, But I go on forever.  ~Alfred Tennyson 1809-1892~

The Brook
Haunched like a faun, he hooed From grove of moon-glint and fen-frost Until all owls in the twigged forest Flapped black to look and brood On the call this man made. No sound but a drunken coot Lurching home along river bank. Stars hung water-sunk, so a rank Of double star-eyes lit Boughs where those owls sat. An arena of yellow eyes Watched the changing shape he cut, Saw hoof harden from foot, saw sprout Goat-horns. Marked how god rose And galloped woodward in that guise.

When I was stationed at Enoggera, as a young platoon sergeant with 9 RAR, a Merino ram was offered, and accepted, as the Battalion mascot. The diggers called him Stan. The brigade RSM of the time was outraged because he viewed our adoption of Stan as a direct and improper play on his surname, which was Lamb. And, of course, he being as bald as a coot the diggers called him Curly. As I recall, Stan was a lively, ill disciplined beast with little respect for the niceties of service life, hence: When Stan-the-Ram met Curly Lamb a fracas did ensue. For Curly stood beside the road just outside B.H.Q.; His Sam Brown belt so shiny, his pace-stick 'neath one arm, The RSM of our brigade was used to war's alarm. But Stan, although a raw recruit and barely chewing grass, Unimpressed by Curly, charged and knocked him on his **** "It's contact rear" cried Curly, as he struggled to his feet, Turned about with arms akimbo his assailant for to meet. Meanwhile Stan's poor handler looked ready to desert 'cos Stan-the-Ram whilst in his care had Curly eating dirt. I guess he felt embarrassed, which was natural, wouldn't you? If involved in such a fracas outside of BHQ. Your questions are but natural and in answer I can swear, As these events unfolded I was marching off the square. Having Just dismissed defaulters I was feeling rather mean But my despondency was lifted by that ****** glorious scene. And in the mess that evening rang out laughter clear and loud, For I'd told them all my story and of Stan we felt quite proud. There was Sutherland and Massingham, and Peter Cowan too And Tim Daly called **** Gordon from his room, well, wouldn't you? And when **** heard my story he poured port into a glass, And we drank a toast to Stanly putting Curly on his ****

By Arcassin Burnham Suffered depression before, But had a breakthrough, After imagining your face on a magazine too, In love with another woman, Until you touched the earth (angel), Delightful beauty, Delicately the one you deserve, But since I sketch and draw, I thought I'd create a masterpiece, With your face and all, We agree to disagree, Rich silent type, But did a little work when it was due, I was the one that did my dirt, Thinking How would I persuade you, We maybe in heaven now, But make a list of all our origin, And for the time we lasted, Searching to live out our lives again, Little did we know, When the ship went down, It was you I longed for, To keep my spirits bound, Growing into an old coot, Thinking of mild regret toward ends But what you didnt realize that soon, I will see you again.

"Titanic Love Story (Revisioned)"
An old cowboy who was ruggedly cute Was bedding down his best friend’s wife Having the time of his life Drowned in rot gut ***** Mistakenly thought his wrangler buddy didn’t give a hoot Until the sudden moment his ex-best friend began to shoot But he was in luck with uncommon fate When St. Peter let him in the gate Knowing he was just a crazy old cowboy coot Drinking heavenly whisky straight out of his boot

Cowboy Poem
Working on a large sheep prperty once On days not much doing way out dig cactus One day doing just this I caught a flash Owner on his old horse up a hill for practice Watching me the old coot he was that day To see if I on my own  was doing my work The sun sent me a flash from his binoculars The old guy was an untrusting kind of **** Just below me a soil erosion twent feet deep That ran for about a real good mile away I rode down and right up it for a mile And right up behind him fifty tards I say Tied up my horse sat under a big old tree Rolled myself a smoke and watched him Looking all over away down there was he Chances finding me down there were slim He was getting so frustrated binoculars too Where the hell did that bloke go he said Looking all about for me that day was he I just smiled rolled another smoke instead Him standing in his old half worn saddle Where the hell did that bloke I ask go I'll be having a real good talk to him later Can't trust anyone I said nows a good ya know http://i197.photobucket.com/albums/aa290/tracymay27/CowboyCampFire.jpg terrence michael sutton copyright 2018

Old coot with his gun and boots
A dog in the street, Such an amazing feet, Perfume sellers and ‘Hombre’ boots, Always cut your hair and you’ll be bald as a coot. WOOF! WOOF! BARK! BARK! Moor them in a ferry park, Dogs are ruff, and cats are **** Dogs say gruff, and cats make me sick. Stepping off the pavement, and peeing on posts, To them, humans may as well be ghosts. Fluffy dogs and meowing cats, Wag their tails and scratch like a bat. Their cute looks never diminish, That is the fact and this is the finish.

A Dog In The Street
Summer days are past and gone, And colder days now hurry on. The lily draws her  tender bloom deep into the cloudy gloom, and soft mists risen in the night, turn to frost at dawns first light. In the margins of the pond The ice holds fast the frozen frond, and under hill the mole curls tight, safe and warm throughout the night, pink paws, pink nose, a velvet coat, all safely hidden from the stoat! The swans, clothed in their purest white glide, like ghosts in black of night as safely on the lake they sleep, while the coot and moorhen peep in their dark and sombre suits, from the tangled willow roots. The fox that cunning red marauder creeps stealthily along the border, as the weakling winter sun Announces a new day begun.

I'm Eeyore, You're Pooh Bear
Vallabh Savani is so kind and cute Above all, ready to help any boot – Low caste, low esteemed or kaput. Love through his blood does overshoot And sooths many Sankets who commute Benevolence to all generations coot. In dilemma and hassle, he is parachute; Help for a friend; foe and faulty to execute. Has contributed to campaign anti-pollute, Sighted orphans and settled destitute, Awarded teachers like me and persecute Vast enmity against him which substitute Allies as Hardik and myself in healthy lawsuit. Never saw him angry or upset as he commute; Insane behaviour is far as never did he salute Someone, but bowed his head to transmute Inner love and care to all old and his recruit. Remain healthy and wealthy! This my tribute.

MONORHYME ON VALLABH SAVANI SIR
Into the folds of the dress and the mold. Though he is old and he has no more sense. You've never heard this, it hasn't been told, Of the babbling coot: his all-seeing eye. Drooling over his woodcarving he waits. The boys find him, his eyes rolling circles. Old man! Tell us. What's in this box of dates? Another box, old mans says, just a box. And within that box? A little boy grates. Another box, the old man says, just a box. The boys chatter with glee at what truth sates. They run off, "Old man ain't crazy! Just old." Talking to a black bird, the old man sat. The boys find him: bird nodding agreement. Old man! Across the sea! How old's old Pat? A scratch of the chin. "Why, she's fifteen, boys." The boys, perplexed, walk away; that was that. "They'll bury him there," old man said. Bird squawks. Rocking in chair, whistling his old, old tune. The men find him looking young than ever. Old man! Been years! Where's the pirate's treasure? The men drunkenly wait for the magic. Old man whispers in the ear of the eldest. Eldest pulls out map; his eyes almost burst. The men run off as if chasing the sun. A shovel shakes off its last bead of dirt. Tears, precious pearls of sorrow, ease burdens. The men, swathed in finery, mourn for friend. "Old man!" New eldest asks, "You knew didn't you?" Old man titters, "I only saw, boys, see?" New eldest grabs old man. Birds squawk in trees. Black clouds ooze across the sky overhead. Winds rattle the old man's house... death rattles. The men pull new eldest away from there. Old man drops to ground. He stands up to stare. The spooked men run off back to their home town. A black bird swoops onto old man's shoulder. " 'Twas my box of dates they showed me that day. Twas my great grandchild Pat who they spoke of. And 'twas my gold they were all looking for. My eye only sees what belongs to me!" The old man sat down in his rocking chair. In the moonlight, a glimmer of gold eyes, spoke of a soulless pirate king's riches.

A shimmering lake of my own making, a flash of blue across the water, twelve spotless geese conversing in private tones, reflected. Coot and moorhen feeding chicks, This is my delight, to look upon nature in the glorious Sun and smile, contented.

My delight.
Sleep has been a sluggish pixie and the moon a constant Patheon Of Twilight Sirens. I am lulled into molasses eyes and am never sane. Only a  ghost in my sheleton. A malingering cocoon in the shape of a perpetual Snow White Crane. I garden the grove of Midnights inner thy and valiantly persist. I lay siege where I lay down my arms to suffer peace - as merely a mirage of luminous Tchotchkes and stolen kisses from Abyssal Lips. Under wrong stars, I roam the Halls of UnTime. I go on my way where looming is sprinting into stagnations embrace with all the vigor of Hermes. Floating in the hall is like surfing a dark gods wave. An undulating fog of prodigious oblique.  in haste. I am a Time Machine that writes poetry and may never finish my Tea. Earl Grey. With the Soul of a Frozen Agog.

THE EGG OF COOT
Let's dance!! Let's put on our leopard skin pants. Let's throw our hands in the air and shake it like there is no tomorrow. Let's dance!! Who cares if others stare? Let's dance!! Come on you old Coot, toss aside that walker. Let's dance!! Lean on me. Cheek to cheek. Chest to chest. Thigh to thigh. No need to speak. Let your feet do all the talking, and your hands...

Reporters Who Risk Life And Limb...

*POEM 80 (Cover Me) “...this whole world’s out there just trying to score I’ve seen enough don’t wanna see any more. I’m looking for a lover who will come on in and cover me..” Bruce Springsteen, “Cover Me”, from ‘Born In The USA’ ~~~~ No matter which way I lay, half my bed mocks me with loneliness, with the chill of emptiness and “what the hell is the matter with you, you old coot”. Yet, not so old that I forgot the warmth of a feminine sigh, or the scent of her skin as she drapes her leg over my thigh and nestles closer to me. “Cover me”... ...with your wildly spiced vanilla sunshine and deliciously tempting, ruby lipped serenade as you touch your lips to mine. “Come on in and cover me”; where there is no rain or snow, only your springtime breath traveling over me; only my summer kisses wandering all over your intoxicating contours, through shapely valleys and fields, scaling and nipping hardened mountain tips, while enticing your arched back welcoming and staring into your desirous eyes. ~~~~ Yes, imagination twists inside calling out from my empty bed, cover me - covering you with currents of naked skin swimming in timeless exotic seas, counting our hearts’ rhythm of should be’s but are not. ~~~~ So, yes, still looking for a love to come in and cover me. Aztec Warrior 10.27.15*
