massed there's a menace to them
feathered violence
illusions of intelligence
for all their aerial beauty when distant
this grounded thug waddle and comic honk
feels like a stag party gone rancid
or a certain type of political mob
or swaggering jesus freaks
chuntering prosperity gospel heresies
grounded ugly
hard eyed avarice
our picnic is over
#SmallPoems #Poetry #Writing #MastoPrompt 12 March 2025 - geese.
In spring great amounts
of large, honking birds graze on
fields with fresh grown grass

Greylag Goose (Anser anser) - Aobram
Above our formerly friendly skies
a flock of Canadian #geese
violated our soverign airspace
without paying fees
that we artificially deemed
as a needed source of revenue
So they were grounded
Now our bird natives
are victims of fowl retaliation
by former allies
as an eye for an eye
move of self respect
snapping open wings -
the cry of wild geese
transcends horizons
Kigo: 雁金 (karigane) - cry of wild geese
did geese get your goose
feathers flying fast and loose
maybe call a truce

assembled curves and lines
like light on quick water
or the sleeping bag crumple
sundried dust that lived
where a river is remembered
by the scarred dirt
fingers read rib cage
hear the plaint of gripped hair
tongue-tips tell veins tall tales
morning heat like a warning
tented air unbreathable
zip grumbles but then the sky
from high it could be seen better
perhaps - close reading heals
salt and wind and the scent of the pages

I studied her in puzzlement as purple tears rann down her scaled cheeks. "Your boon," she said, and lowered her head to her paws, great tail ckrling around her.
"I..."
"Do not understand," she rumbled sadly, cutting me off. Her tears started steaming on the stones. "No one ever does. My boon is my heart, my vulnerability. I allow you to see it. The question is, what will you do with the knowledge of my sorrow?" #MastoPrompt #MicroPrompt #WSS366,

"The Todo List"
Some days
I struggle for even a lick of inspiration.
Other days
I have forgotten such a struggle even exists.
Some days
I recount the bucket list tapping against my life.
Other days
I let the impulses in my head rewrite that list.
But through each revision, each draft,
each edit and checkpoint the list slides through,
its contents sliding like cars in a flood,
the wreckage will never be enough for me.
Faerie
