Door Of Passage

“Door of passage

to the other side,

the soul frees

itself in stride.”

ego
just me
with a soul
all that you see
self

birds of a feather

a unique design by God

flock for protection

Poem:

the cowbird borrowed her nest
a very unwanted guest
the early birds get the worms
no relation to the pachyderms

nature has designed some unusual creatures
many include some strange features
the narwhal has the horn of a unicorn
the biggest spread belongs to the texas longhorn

the pitcher plant and other plants eat bugs
snails without shells are called slugs
man is relatively new in earth’s millions of year
the shark has been around longer without shedding a tear

nature can either kill you or cure you
without a zoo we would have no clue

Barges Of Silence

“When we walk

in the sun

our shadows

are like

barges of silence.”

not work
a real sport
bring on the games
play

wannabe actor
wrote his own play in one act
performed on the street

so bad nobody noticed
his dream became a nightmare

Poem:
.
.
he auditioned for the school play
plotting to make the girls his prey
not enough boys, the part was his
prologue to what they call show biz

there was dialogue to memorize
stage positions to finalize
make up and costume
secrets from the dressing room

lights, camera, action, curtain aside
nerves atingle, what a wild ride
no audience, no, audience, is this a charade
no, just a dress rehearsal and later a parade

by the drama bug he had been bit
from this day forward his life was a skit
tonight on TV plugging his new play
just an inch from being on Broadway

was it fiction or was it fact
or maybe just a dramatic act
