Sesquipedalian croak
as old as time
feathered sage spoke
through wisdom aligned
keeping the secrets
of ancient rites
he traced from the shadows
of bones bled dry.

Surface Of Serenity
Statuesque pose
on surface of serenity
black swan glows
with loyal longevity.

Iridescent Tail
Eyes full of wisdom
a compelling trait
with an iridescent tail
accentuating your grace.

Day Bleeds
The day bleeds
without the little soul
of Mrs Grey Butcherbird
so touchingly close ~
her fragranced memory
captured in my mind
like an old movie
I constantly rewind.

Eccentric Clown
Eccentric clown
slick with his beak
crammed full of fish
head to tail speak
volumes of his grace
in the water he makes
nimble work of the hunt
to make up for his blunt
clumsiness on land.

Prophecy Of Old
Ravens keep
the prophecy of old
draped in feathers
black and bold
shimmering with
a bluish glow
this master of time
lets energy flow
in an oracle tongue
unveiling the unknown.
