Poems

A Journey through the Night

City life, an inescapable concrete playground; insipid to some however sheen to many,

Straight above the rushing city a faint trace of stars lie.

Trembling from an untrained eye all to be foundered by the clusters of clouds,

All who have traversed near and far to speckle this one sky.

An owl fluttering high in the sky to sweep upon a stretched snake,

Whom just dissolved his own meal.

Amidst the blooming flower bed, sheer swelling causes the night hawk to drop the prey.

The livid owl soars home as the shining stars nudge out from the clouds in the night sky,

To celebrate a new beginning, before ones’ delight in a journey;

One must entreat oneself for a journey.

Dog’s Life

Waking to another livid human; Fluttering butterflies

Dinner? Or in trouble? Rushing for food,

Nudging max for insipid pedigree

Dissolving the last cluster of food

Traced back to the sheen door

Entreating to get outdoors,

Stretched for all the warmth.

Swelling from cluster of flies

Time to drop a bone

Sniff sniff speckled,

That’s pedigree for you.

Traversing into the house amidst dinner

Begging for their supper;

Celebrant yummy food as I tremble for more

Human yelling

Scaring me I foundered

My inescapable fate…

Was the cage.

Summer

On a hot summer day

Being spent by the pool

My skin absorbs every sun ray

While I jump in to cool

The water makes a splash

Then I come to the surface

Like I was competing for cash

If I were the judge, I’d win first place.

I got out of the water

To soak up the sun

In hopes to get smarter

Or maybe just for fun

When I got home I showered myself clean

And notice I should have used sunscreen
