"ribbit" poems
There's a colonel in most every town And chicken he does know But the youth of today are not finger licking They're licking of the toads When they run out of their drugs They must run out of their minds When the toad lickers come a licking Best to run and hide Yes, they've found a brand new high When their *** is running low The poppy fields have all run dry And the cow patty mushroom is no mo The city kids head to the swamps Just hopping at the thrill Grabbing at amphibians And licking them at will With every tantalizing lick Trippy little colors do they see Pass around the froggy For another lick if you please But who am I to judge As crazy as it looks Could it be as bad as crack With one lick and you're hooked I have this nagging question though That bothers me to this day Who was the first to lick the toad And say this taste okay          ~ribbit~

~Toad Licking~
There was a fly who only had one eye. He lived a simple life on the River wry. One day the fly with only one eye began to cry. I'm very lonely he said to himself, I feel as though I've been left on the shelf. From out of nowhere an Elf appeared, an Elf who had only one ear. Your not alone the Elf did shout, come on over let's hang out. The Fly with one eye flapped his wings and said loudly so the Elf with one ear could hear,  I'm going to try to fly to the other side of the river wry. The Elf with one ear said do not fear I'll be your eyes and you'll be my ears. But half way across the Fly with one eye gave a big sigh and said  to the Elf with only one ear, I do fear that I will not finish the ride to the other side of the river wry. Do not fear said the Elf with only one ear.  With my perfect eyes I can see that half way across in the middle of a bog on a log are a frog and bee, surely they will help me. The Elf with only one ear shouted loudly to the frog and bee, can you please help me? The frog and the bee shouted back "gladly".  But the Elf who only had one ear could not hear the reply from the middle of the river wry. The Fly with one eye heard the reply and shouted as loudly as he could muster "the frog and bee have agreed gladly to help you and me" The Elf with one ear was relieved to hear this and set about outlining his plan. The Fly with one eye would flap his wings and start his trip across the river. The frog would jump up and down on his lily pad and make a noise which sounded like ribbit, ribbit, the Fly with one eye and the Elf with one ear would use the frog for direction, tuning into it. Once the Fly with one eye had passed the frog by the bee would set about buzzing loudly, the fly with one eye and the Elf with one ear would follow the buzzing to the edge of the river. The plan worked the Fly with one eye gave a shout hip hip hip hooray. The Elf with one ear gave three cheers and the frog and the bee clapped merrily. Hooray said the Fly with only one Eye and the Elf with only one Ear, let's get all our friends together and bake a cake to celebrate. The Fly with one eye looked at his friends and knew that life would never be quite the same now he could count on his new found friends, the Elf with one ear and the frog and the bee were like one big family.

The Fly with one eye and the Elf with one ear

He knows what lies below. This is where it all began: here Beneath the bubbling sludge and ******* mud. This is the home brew, the cocooning grounds. His sturdy boots trudge through, Hefting questions and glasses askew. Somewhere to the side a fat swamp prince Composes bog rhymes in ribbit meter. Each squelching step sets a buzzing bunch Of crystal dragons zipping away to Slick peridot pontoons. A loon swoons The expeditioner with a sobbing cry. He Has said goodbye to reservations, to the Long-dead preservation rights. He slogs through The buzzing night. Yellow daggers clench Between scaly steeltrap snappers and stones With eyes blink in languid surprise, unnoticed. He is lost, dying, unsure of his quest. He needs a Cure. He knows it lies here, in the beginning place. Their faces haunt his deathly guts and crush His straining heart with need - need for the solution. Need to survive, to prolong his life - alone! So alone: the last. If only he could rest. His nostrils quiver with the homesick stench Of tails becoming legs and nipping lips sprouting Sticky tongues. The answer, he is here for the Only answer. Something below, below, down In the dredges of history - in the slime of Centuries, rotless and preserved. He will find it: Some link, some closer thing he can revive And test and rest as bedrock for his life. A foot sticks in the overfriendly tar. No, He will not pause. He has come too far. In the birthing grime, some hungry memory wakes. It knows what lies above, it thirsts to cease it. It reaches, roils, pulls, rips with smelly squish-fingers - Thirsting and thirsting to slake. It longs to reveal To show, to make known to the traveler. (All he has searched for is found here, it knows, Organized and close. Held and safe below) It reaches, grabs - thirsty - presses him into A false step. A slip. A skritching clipboard Of statistics curses in rustling indignance As it flutters to the mud above a splattered head. Science-frozen lungs fill with dread - With life-giving peat. (It will show him) He ***** in And burbles out a scream. (what he wants, show him) This is where it begins, (this is his dream!) where it ends. Now he knows what lies below. He lies - curled - Quenched from growth. The eyes of unnoticed Stones blink in surprise. Soaring swamp lyrics Rise, a loon swoons with a sobbing cry. He curls in peace and drifts alone Now he knows what lies below.

The caterpillar was of many steps, The millipede was of many more, Both were Long, Rhymed Feet Did collectively tap dance on the floor, They thought to have a race Millipede said, I have feet that move swift and fast" "While you have many less" "This is a Race that'll be over fast"   The race would start around four, Tick, Tock, Tick, Tock, So the millipede did wait, And wait, Waiting some more, The race was to the top of the tree, Milli as her friends called her, Cat, Caterp, Caterpillar Where, when will this race start anew Then upon a stick, Do Not Disturb Milli gave a funny look, Cats friend said "She was resting before the race began" So Mille said to each and those around, "Wake me when she comes around" And so the day ended a new one began, And as it approached four once again, A yawn heard from inside, As Milli did run as quick as she could Ok start the race, "Ribbit" Shouted the frog The race did begin, And many feet did move, dust seen as These many feet did move like the wind, Cat did wake and stretched out wide As her wings caught sunlight Am I late, did it begin, Beauty, Colour, Grace Was seen with each flap of her wings, In to the air she did gently glide As for Milli She laughed "HaHaHaha" As she reached the roots of the tree, "No one is faster on there feet but me" Cat took her time Floated, *Glided, Soared High with the wind, her delicate touched Bark and leaf, crossing the finish line Upon delicate Feet, Moments later Mille appeared "Who" "Are" "You" Milli confused at what was seen, "I am Cat its plain to see" And Milli angrily said "This isn't fair" "Cheated am me" "Never cheated, with feet i crossed" "Its only because you saw on the outside|" "Not what was truly me" And Milli did speak quietly "I judged you less" "I judged you weak" "All because I had more feet" I will learn this lesson well, "It is not always what is seen on the outside" "It is what is on the inside that counts" You had beauty where i saw none, But now you stand before me and "I am sorry" For the way I treated you, Can we still be friends Cat did answer we were always Friends, silly milli, So milli ran and cat flew off, lessons now learned on how to treat me and for me to treat you.

Summon us the rain yet With the drums that we recall I Am the corresponding return Beautiful lunar and thunder to A rhythm where all seasons of the Different viewpoints even ugly in the winter Are holding up the Universal land An outer space pond having Baptized resurrection of acceptance in a chosen Life-cycle that changes all of the Symbols through your travels which are heavy. Changes also equal to soul art Echo countless metaphors of the Mindless croaking bond. Teach in us the thanksgiving of Heaven's harvest and every single thing That brings a drunkenness and promise of Choristers with hymns on stone For a prolonged life is in and of What solid reawakening has fortuned deep within upon this earth. Renewed as well returned I Carry lucky charms and find that I am Known in other words bound With the Spirit to An ancient stand That is encountering such places found under Forces much much before the Egg existed in a frozen Past lone part of all creation much much before the thorn Grew from the rose bush you were jumping by Far down the brook of evolution where the Message that you ribbit warm or cold Is soon discovered befriending those of heart and hearth As we all listen to your lessons and The magic song revival that you sing

Frog Spirit
When the pale Luna, goddess of the night, Her silver blanket did upon the pond cast, While gliding along the inky sky, Near to the milky stretch-mark of stars (Sign that the Universe is our mother)... The air was thick with the violin symphony of crickets. Beneath the knotted hair of a willow tree  A campfire, asked to dance by the breeze, With sheer joy crackled and sparkled  At the sight of the petal-faced imps.  In a foolish manner, one prodded the other: "Go you and kiss a frog on the nodding!" Wanting to impress his comrade, He sprung up like a grasshopper off the ground, And like a fox pup disguised himself in the reeds. There, his torch revealed two sinister gleams, A low CROAK and RIBBIT RIBBIT came with them. The boy jumped and caught the wet ball of slime, It protested in his cherub hands and wriggled in vain. He moved his puckers closer to the little being, Nature is the one who likes a good teasing, He kissed it on head, Then froze with dread, The frog was a toad and the taste was displeasing.

The Misadventure
- Haiku Sequence (For Mr.N. Of  O' S) Empty field except clouds grazing at its centre somewhere far off...sheep. * Empty field except for the colours green...blue & white creating a scene. * Empty field except for the silence being shattered by the big dog’s bark * Empty field except invisible voices call “Where are you..? ”  “I’...lost! ” * Empty field except for an oversized unseen big green frog:  “...ribbit! ” * Empty field except for a cow exiting now the scene by a tail * Empty field except for a cow now entering the scene by a nose * Empty field except for the well concealed couple making out in hedge * Empty field just waiting for us to come in to keep it in mind * Empty field full now with clouds, a sheep’s bleat, laughter & two lowing cows * Empty field full  to the brim with such memories colouring it in. * Field empty now because we have left...does it still exist...now we’ve gone? * Clouds migrate from field to field occasionally getting caught on top of people’s heads in photos or trapped in a mesh of trees. * DEER PARK Mountain   empty   of people but somewhere...invisible voices Buddha’s rays penetrate dense forest greener again...illumination of lichen. * DEAR PARK Tourist mountain  people & their litter everywhere to be seen...obscenely obese. Old poem in my hand penetrates my mind its words an illumination of green lichen.

EMPTY FIELD
Wait, go back Go back! It's not over yet! It didn't end like this. I know it. I know it. I know this story, I've read these lines. Next you're supposed to say " " Or some other witty, beautiful words that drown me in my guilt. And I'll just stutter and stammer and trip over my words like that time in May when you tripped on that root on our hike in New Hampshire. I hand you a lollipop. What the **** Why would I hand her a lollipop? I hand you a bleeding heart and you examine it. You **** it. You write your name on it and carefully - HAH! - horrendously you force it down my throat. Swallow. But after all of this, I still know that in this twisted ass-backwards, convoluted world I am still head over heels for you. I'm still the same, perfectly sane, guy you knew before. Ribbit.

Wee *****
I ran away and started a new journey Caught myself in a peculiar story. Been to different places and found myself startled Obscured, grotesque, melancholic, and bleakly mottled. Meeting different people, but never got the chance to stay Mind fickle and heart let astray. But then, I understand now how it feels Of these surrounding silent hills. All those stirred up feelings gave me nostalgia But aren't you in spasmodic sequence of amnesia? Alas, reality throws me up in all that regression; It teared up my obsession. Then there goes a series of flashbacks; It occured to you all of the setbacks. And oh, I remember a certain old man, Told me a something about a plan. With conviction, he said, "Maktub, it is written; Those who can see and listen, One's fate has been predestined To those who is good and sinned." "Young one, it is about time for you, Know all that is true And seek to discern for your true happiness. "Well, I say "That's intense!" Then as I pondered on this old man's wisdom, **** that old geezer is just random. But what he said did make sense, If BMW is better than Mercedes-Benz. Though it may seem easy for him to say it, My mind went into a frog's "ribbit!" How vague is it to listen to such hearsay; The horses neigh and the hearsayers, nay. Life is giving me much more farce Though the sarcasm is all so scarce. Oh, I give up cause it's better to be at home With my friend Gary the gnome. Now I know it's better to return Than travel further the world that is too stern. It's all but you I see is missing In a picturesque abode with me, kissing.

I dropped her off on the other side of the city Lights blur past my window And I lose focus A different kind of space travel I don’t know why I drove here instead The house on Ellen I had always imagined it as a sad thing Keeping the shape of comfort Waiting lonely for me to come back to it The shattered window And the holed walls The singed edge crop-circle in the living room carpet I broke in The place smelled new Like fresh paint And good credit I am not a vandal But these places don’t feel like home Unless something has been broken Tonight It was just a lock My tires hugged the road like it didn’t want me to be there Like hydroplaning without the rain And every red light turned green Just after I hit the breaks Like a bully placing a hand on my chest and then saying “Nah, I’m just ******* with you. Keep on going.” There’s this place I sleep most nights Only I am still in the parking lot writing this And I don’t want to go upstairs yet By my parking place Frogs ribbit They sound content Though they live along the water drainage line that seems like a stream Only there are more flies and crickets to eat here Home is a funny place So I have decided this Not that I believe in God but I’ve decided His hands are as big as the world So big it is easy to feel like no one is holding you Even when you're being hurled a million miles an hour And maybe that is why I feel I have no home I mean Hold me like you are small too

Something I have Decided About This Place Called Home
Hey, did you ever notice how the stars shine when you're not around? How the wind blows— encrypted with notes of your lies. Pluck the string and give in. The pollen on my nose is such a sin. You call her name, that star of yours, but before long she'll burn out, don't you know? The seed we planted, you refused to sow. The spit and spatter of the faucet leaves me wondering. Comb the gel out of your hair, and rub the burning lipstick off of your neck. Lie down, close your eyes, and dream of this wreck. Thunder calls as the clouds roll in. Creak, tap, creak, tap. Soon you'll be in Alaska— out of sight, out of grasp— way too far from here. Reflection reveals fear. River currents and broken promises. Autumn's red leaves kiss the ground. A bark, a neigh, a quack, a ribbit— all the same. The branches of tomorrow have become weak, limp, lame. You know, they don't shine for you anymore. You came on stiff and strong— only to let them down. But as time calls and the future whispers, memories of you will be yesterday's news. As unimportant as a finite bruise.

The Stars Still Shine
I heard a frog ribbit And decided to **** it That's when I filled it With my drill bit And it turned into a dead prince I regretfully winced My hands I rinsed And moved on There's a mass grave in my backyard Like an ******* I never thought it would go this far It's a hassle This giant hole From acting cold It's filled with princes and thieves alike In this pit there is no light No wrong or right Only useless fights And sleepless nights As the bodies start stacking My suitcase I start packing But ambition to leave I'm lacking So it's the wall I'm smacking As the hole behind me gets bigger My finger is on the trigger Shooting at the deceased Like they have a zombie disease That restricts righteous release This grave is swallowing my house Yet I just keep wallowing around Muting the surrounding sounds That remind me of hell hounds Barking from below Regret they bestow When they could've been golden retrievers Instead they flung their molten cleaver Their searing liquid knife Causes my insipid strife When the droplets stab holes in my skin And then start burning me from within Their weapon may not be solid It doesn't matter what you call it It hurts me all the same So I try to forget their name I dug my own grave Now I must lie in it But when everybody lies That doesn't seem like such a big deal When in this world it's hard to tell what's real Especially the emotions people make me feel When I have things they're looking to steal So I **** them in my mind But they take pieces of me I'm running out of time Which definitely isn't free It's the main commodity They seek to take off of me That's why I must bitterly bury them But my conscience continues to carry them

Regret
I heard a frog ribbit And decided to **** it That's when I filled it With my drill bit And it turned into a dead prince I regretfully winced My hands I rinsed And moved on There's a mass grave in my backyard Like an ******* I never thought it would go this far It's a hassle This giant hole From acting cold It's filled with princes and thieves alike In this pit there is no light No wrong or right Only useless fights And sleepless nights As the bodies start stacking My suitcase I start packing But ambition to leave I'm lacking So it's the wall I'm smacking As the hole behind me gets bigger My finger is on the trigger Shooting at the deceased Like they have a zombie disease That restricts righteous release This grave is swallowing my house Yet I just keep wallowing around Muting the surrounding sounds That remind me of hell hounds Barking from below Regret they bestow When they could've been golden retrievers Instead they flung their molten cleaver Their searing liquid knife Causes my insipid strife When the droplets stab holes in my skin And then start burning me from within Their weapon may not be solid It doesn't matter what you call it It hurts me all the same So I try to forget their name I dug my own grave Now I must lie in it But when everybody lies That doesn't seem like such a big deal When in this world it's hard to tell what's real Especially the emotions people make me feel When I have things they're looking to steal So I **** them in my mind But they take pieces of me I'm running out of time Which definitely isn't free It's the main commodity They seek to take off of me That's why I must bitterly bury them But my conscience continues to carry them

The way I read your mind Is the same as sign language in your poetry? *Poetry is the chiseled marble of language; It’s a paint-spattered canvas - but the poet uses words instead of paint, and the canvas is you:* You borrow a phrase, and hanged it like a gibbet, That meant nothing for us: it was so ribbit ,ribbit You sat there on the log and watch as the frogs Jump from Lilly pad to lily pad: in the dusky fog The frozen frogs’ moves, your words croaked we decipher your deepest fears, so why do you filled the pond with the splashing tears?

The Ribbit Effects
And that was all another story, Now bed my little eggs As A Hundred And One Little eyes shut tight,   Night, Night, Eggs Sleep Eggs Grow Eggs we love you so So they slept Morning Shimmered Like a blanket lifted A Hundred And One Eyes awoke "Mum" "Mum" Above Bubbles frothed With each POP POP POP Was heard faint whispers Of a croak ribbit A Hundred And One times If didn't lose count?? Mother out of breath Hopping, Jumping, "What is it my many children" All at once A TAIL WE DO HAVE My little ones, that was the story "Of which I spoke" But I guess A Hundred And One Were playing spot the egg And not listening to what RIBBIT mother said, You wait till tomorrow My young Now go out and play, So they rushed and played Till the glow in the heavens sank down Beneath the ponds gaze, Now bed my little ones Growing up so fast, As a hundred a one Little eyes shut tight,   Night, Night, Tadpoles Sleep Tadpoles Grow Tadpoles we love you so Morning broke not as before The racket from above They awoke A Hundred And One Ran with tail between there legs MOM, MOM, MOM, All were afraid of the unknown "Children, children" She softly ribbited spoke, "It is but water" From up high and then Drips from the clouds, To down Below, "Fear not my young ones" She spoke, And the day was noisy And a mess did they make But to bed early they went An early morning You all must wake, As a hundred a one Little eyes shut tight,   Night, Night, Frogs Sleep Frogs Grow Frogs we love you so And It was Just reached Dawn, She softly spoke Time to wake Babies no more, You are grown up !!Its time to go!! "Go where mother" "To the world beyond the pond" Life is ever moving And so you must move on Be brave my little Ribbits, & Ribbets, For your life is just a Hop, And a Jump, Away, Find your damp patch, My Hundred And one And then make it your home.. For you are not children ribbet any more.

A summer day, warm and comatose. One where algae festers in ponds and frogs ribbit and jump at the buzz of dragon fly *** Bugs and sweat thrive on these kinds of days but the grass browns slowly under a shrouding sunny ski. Bodies feel loose and lazy, like jazz, and words don't form as easily. We scratch ourselves instead and sit real far apart. Hunger reduces to nothing and our torsos taper and stretch.

Summer job summer day
Pasts of myself Reflecting off the bookshelf A naked truth of original sin That every time I look I can't help but laugh In time there was a truth And in present there is only this A hope to see you again A breathe where there is no Exhale or inhale Only the breathe you were made To believe was real Sitting atop my bookshelf Sits the faces I cannot recognize In dreams they come back to me So I know I will never be free Each birthday the shadow of celebration Makes my heart tear when names mentioned All forgotten Where once I was near walking And dreams are The oil that slicks the road The ribbit inside the toad The unmentionable code A crazy pattern not sewn Sick tired suffering nodes Realizing that no one ever really knows There the faces float Each eye a time long past And though moments pass fast With struggle the warmth wanes Bringing a pain that dances profane Pain doth not mean an untimely death For these faces do not bring life's theft Start anew from a new bookshelf Touch a heart that has not yet been felt

Dance with me in this sea of despair. A clutter of darkness in the air. Float in the river among the trees. Let your body swim with ease. Melodies are endless. But here the emptiness holds no music. Show me your fragile hands The sun will not sit on land. Prance towards the moonlight There are no stars in the skies tonight No place for a prince The frogs ribbit in harmony Soon the sky will fall The prince began his call Everything sleeps in the black He keeps his voice in tact. Oh Princess sleeping in your lair Dance with me in this sea of despair.

Hell's Night
Blurred and twisted my world is shifted it's not the same I'm off my flip, I feel cold like a coffins frame my spaces change..and so do the faces names All is engraved..still the same.. are features that have haunted ever since I was a minor... What does he speak of is it really that minor? I indoor spit quick metaphors heavy-ore then a cave of iron ore..pre-historically historical am a tech-dinosaur.. am kind of a connoisseur...I think of often more...and mostly for specifics..open doors to find the leak of crickets. speak of what we eat I call it cheese and bisects...you must be getting jumpy I can hear the ribbit's Mash up little snippets simple digits...words and phrases I'm a chemist chemically inclined, Mentally declined. I think she needs space so I say read between the lines. Squeeze a lemon from a lie call it sit-trust..to double check please elect a witness. Now get shocked like a hit stick...flipped with my mines thoughts that are clouds which pass then precipitate...rain drops fall down to participate in the puddle... Instant is a rebuttal...quicker then space vacuums..or a blast from a space shuttle...hmm it's all subtle..suddenly coming by as if it were to apply to my simple human vibe. Who is you...who am I? That is thee outstanding surprise, I speak to leap with a pride that wouldn't normally subside in my daily life...rarely I speak I just leak what I have inside. If this catches your interest great..if not...well better luck next time...here take a glove..try to catch my next line_____________________________

1. You sit on your stoop And you listen. You sit on your stoop And you breathe. You sit on your stoop And you take in. You sit on your stoop You don't leave. 2. A car comes down the block and you fill it with ambivalence There are artifacts of previous tenants in your walls. Whatever you do you can't stop the faint buzz of the sun Or the rattling of your morning coffee. One on one. 3. One on one you lie back to the marble. You drift off to sleep in the end. You can't help you don't look you're unable, You throw the frog away in the end. The croak drove you crazy and the tongue made you cringe But there was something of value... You don't think, I can't think, in the end. 4. You squeeze and you pry You don't listen. You drag and you moan You don't breathe. You curl and you sigh You don't take in. You plot and you play You just leave. 5. You have anxieties like pop rocks Once they fizzle down you accept another Handful. In the end. The frogs in the bin but it's ribbit breaks through And the spread of its tongue still reaches me.

5 Signs of Okayness
frog skin pickle with my 82% milk fat french croissant "ribbit ribbit, mon croissant flakey?" "Oui, et ma peau est en cuir du marais, Et mes jambes ont le goût de poulet". "le vert de mon visage cache bien dans l'herbe" "Oui, Oui, parce que vous êtes un amphibie" "What are you with such a souple, épluchée dorée?" "Moi? Je suis le travail de mains amoureuses I tear apart to feed your taste for metamorphosis."
