When the dog barks

When the dog barks
Don’t crack, I remark
Watch your back
Maybe it is about to attack

A dog is commonly your loyal slave
But your master when it is brave
It can be your best friend
It can be your worst enemy

When the dog barks
Get ready on your mark
It senses you in the dark

When the dog barks
And you don’t talk back
It will sense the courage you lack

When the dog barks
You may need to give it a whack
To set it on the right track
Before it embarks
On a mission with its mates in a pack

When the dog bites
You must put up a fight

When the dog bites
Think hard, do what is right

When the dog whines
Even you should know it’s not fine

When a dog barks at the moon, then it is religion; but when he barks at strangers, it is patriotism!

Always Remember

always remember that when
a fake dog
takes a poise on your sofa
at the middle of your
living room
or your study

try looking
try listening carefully

it never barks.
it is your silly puppy without a mommy
that barks

in the mirror. barking at its image
waggling its tail

the fake ones
do not bark, remember that, and i know that you know
that i know about this plasticity
between us.

it is you that barks
almost every morning when i begin to write a poem
and all the while for years and years
i have always been silent.

that is the difference between us.
and let me tell the obvious. do not be hurt.

i am fake and you are true.you are angry and i never was once.
you breathe. i don't anymore.

The Barks of Trees are best gathered in the Spring, if it be of great Trees, as Oaks or the like, because then they come easiest off, and so you may dry them if you please, but indeed your best way is to gather all Barks only for present use.

Watch Us Fall

Here we come again
Like a message in the pouring rain
And every now and then
I still call your name
Like partners in crime
Every once in a while
The the fishes at sea
Its just the life we lead
Were going up
Were going down again
Were going up
Were going down again
Watch us fall
And time stood still
In a distant town
I know you
I know you much too well
Last year you said
Its time to settle down
Last time I saw you
You were still running around
Going up
Going down again
Watch us fall
Watch us fall
Remember when you said
Its time to settle down
Well last time I saw you
You were still running around
Going up
Going down again
Were going up
Were coming down again
Watch us fall
Watch us fall
Watch us fall
Watch us fall

Hypocrisy And Ignorance...

cutie the little chihuahua
lives inside the bath tub
near the music room of
tom,

the whole night the chihuahua
barks asking for
a hot-dog
for supper but cruel tom

listens to rock
and hears nothing about the tiny barks
of the tiny dog,

the following morning
tom gets wild
why his tiny dog died

The Cleaning Agents

Anger or sorrow is the outcome
When one’s interest is affected.
Anger barks out and sorrow sheds tears.
Barks and tears are cleaning agents.

french Fries -context-2nd World War-1940-fall Of France

An owl hoots, hoots, hoots, hoots
A dog barks, barks, barks, barks
Then some boots, boots, boots, boots
Uproots, uproots, uproots, uproots
The night lurks, lurks, lurks, lurks
Red wines bespatter,
French fries berserk, berserk, berserk, berserk
As the tall neighbours jerk, jerk, jerk, jerk

There rents the air some surrealists
The face of renaissance recaptured nationalists
No ikebana for my darling in Paris
As scenaries take on cemetaries
And greenaries take on apothecaries
Some invitations dugging heccatomb
Our menu-guns, missiles, mortar and a bomb.

Some toddler girls hanging for apricots
Uproar the gargantuan mascots
Come bigots,
Come faggots,
All yield in to the zealots

Ablaze relaxes a man
In some shabby agonized catamaran
His cries laughed away;
His worries withered away;
Is he the last to give in?
For Paris to Berlin.

See You See Me

Where is the rhyme, where is the reason
Who stands to judge me in this way
Some call it choice, some call it treason
Why find me guilty on this day
Stay home and watch it on T.V.
Stay home and watch it on T.V.
See you - See me
Now is the time, now is the season
When we should have something to say
You keep your faith, I'll keep my freedom
Why should we listen anyway
Stay home and watch it on T.V
Stay home and watch it on T.V
See you - See me
How is there no way of pleasing
And who has the answer of the day
When will they stop all of the squeezing
Why should we play the game their way
Stay home and watch it on T.V
Stay home and watch it on T.V
See you - See me
Stay home and watch it on T.V
Stay home and watch it on T.V
See you - See me

Looking at the clock

If you watch a clock time goes slowly,
If you don’t watch a clock time goes fast.
There is an expression,
Time flies when you’re having fun,
-ignore it, it is fake! -
Time goes fast if you don’t look at the clock or
If you watch television or a DVD,
Time goes slow if,
You keep asking what time it is or
If you keep looking at the clock.

Time Has No Time

Time runs from your early days
Creating you many troublesome ways;
Going late to school is the beginning
And the life has no ending.

time won't last long to feel
It will make all your sorrows heel;
Time sometimes leaves you alone
That is time has no time.

even love ends up in tears
Even life made you to fear
Time can only sing a song
' I DON'T HAVE TIME'.

Feelings will come and go
But the time will always go;
You can stop time in your watch
But can't stop in other's watch;

If you ask help to ask time to give more time.
It will say, ' I DON'T HAVE TIME'.

Time2

Time is running
Running through my mind
It continuously runs
Even when i waste time

'Time is
A valuable thing
Watch it fly by
Like a pendelum swing'

'Watched it watch me
And the words that i say
But the time of the clock
Echoes in my veins.'

The clock keeps tickin
No matter what you do
You could be action idiotic
But you're wasting time too

'i know that i didnt
Look down below
As i watched the time go
Right out the window'

You can waste your life
If you dont value your time
pay atention to this poem
And just Think of this Ryme.

'i tried to hold on
tried not to watch
As i wasted it all
On the hands of a clock'

Time is Life

The Vixen

Among the taller wood with ivy hung,
The old fox plays and dances round her young.
She snuffs and barks if any passes by
And swings her tail and turns prepared to fly.
The horseman hurries by, she bolts to see,
And turns agen, from danger never free.
If any stands she runs among the poles
And barks and snaps and drive them in the holes.
The shepherd sees them and the boy goes by
And gets a stick and progs the hole to try.
They get all still and lie in safety sure,
And out again when everything’s secure,
And start and snap at blackbirds bouncing by
To fight and catch the great white butterfly.

Watch Out

Watch your eyes
it may see reactions


Watch your reaction
it may enthuse emotions


Watch your emotion
it may compose thoughts


Watch your thought
it may become words


Watch your word
it may become a habit


Watch your habit
it may become character


Watch your character
it may become your identity


Finally, watch your identity
it may become your fate

Every Morning's Mourning.

Watch you sleep
Dream and roll over
avoid the monsters
and the light
Watch you sleep

Watch you sleep
when the noise
of fifteen
floors above you
crashes in
and wraps you deeper
in your sheets
Watch you sleep

Watch you sleep
through every squeak
and smash and ping
as I serenade you
with my awake
and my breakfast
Watch you sleep

Watch you sleep
with a half-turned
smile on your face
an exposed and naked leg
your hair escaping you
like spilling starlight
Watch you sleep

Watch you sleep
when I kiss
the tiniest sample
of skin on your cheek
and know you wake
when I'm gone
and am gone
until again you sleep

When you wake
Watch you wake
Watch you sleep
