Slipping Between the Cracks – Terza Rima 4-Six
a can of niggling worms looms as I write
I’m obsessed, unable to ignore
the innocents who’ve drifted from our sight
fractured families, children not cared for
species, numbers dwindling, resources razed
slipping between cracks; lost forevermore
precious treasures overlooked, throngs unfazed,
our better angels quickly losing ground,
their god is greed, they lavish him with praise

Flights of Fancy
Flights of Fancy

fancy flight a miracle
which makes me wonder
what curious future device

The House Cat – MLMM Challenge
The House Cat
lounging in streams of sunlit bliss
soft warm belly, never hungry
window ledging where I can see
birds about to purr at, to hiss
napping every afternoon, this
domesticated life’s for me
lounging in streams of sunlit bliss
soft warm belly, never hungry
peering through the dewy mist
nocturne romps beneath the trees
coming, going just as I please
a doting human to dismiss
lounging in streams of sunlit bliss
