Slow Eating

My belly,
Grumbles.

My mind,
Is focsed,
On food.

There,
Far away,
I see,
A snail.

Lucky,
For me,
The Snail,
Is going,
As fast,
As it can
Be.

But,
I am,
Faster.

As I,
Move,
The snail,
See me.

No matter,
What it,
Does,
Or how,
Thinks.

It will,
Still move,
At a,
Snails pace.

It gets,
Bigger,
And bigger.

Then, 
I touch,
It's Shell.

It knows,
No matter,
What it says.

It will be,
My lunch,
Today.

Standing Strong

 Turning my,
Head,
Gives me,
A new view.

Being with,
Friends;
Is the,
Way I,
Am.

One,
Tiptoes,
Away.

We all, 
Tiptoe,
To a,
Run.

Staying,
With the
Herd. 

Over the,
Meadows.

To the,
Beach,
We go.  

Why;
Noone,
Knows.

The wind,
Moves,
Between,
My ears.

The sand,
Engulfs,
My hooves.

Then I,
See it.

The red,
The yellow,
And the,
Light.  

The rising
Sun,
Celebrates,
Our Day.

Headlight Warning

Born in
The forest.

Run in
The woods.

Living for,
Berries and
Brothers,
And Sister.  

Jumping,
Laughing,
And eating,
Everyday.

We,
Hear,
Carbon 
Dioxide
Exhaust;
We stop.

We look,
Right,
We look,
Left.

When it,
Clear,
Our hoofs,
Feel the,
Flat black,
Plastic.

Then the,
Light,
Is so,
Bright,
That stops,
Us in,
Our,
Tracks.  

Before we,
Know,
We hear,
The lead,
And see,
Our blood.

In a second,
We become,
The laughter,
Of a hungry,
Family.

Boot Fitting

Noone has,
Seen me.

But everyone,
Fears me.

Walking,
With a,
Swagger,
Is my way.

Eating,
Fish and Beavers,
Fills my days. 

What you,
Don't know,
Is I don't,
Stay Away. 

My energy,
Harness,
And helps,
My conflict,
Resolution.

Am I sad?
Am I mad?
Maybe,
I am just,
Free.

How would,
You know.

Since you,
Never really,
Seen me.

Ancient March

 Forward,
Back,
Then,
Again.

The line,
Is still,
But, 
Moving.

No,
Campsite,
No,
People.

The world,
Is five,
Meters,
Wide.

Living,
Every day,
For our,
Queen.

But,
Someday,
We will,
Not be,
Forgotten.

Calm Order

Up,
They
Go.
Out,
Around,
The den.

2,
Maybe,
3,
All with,
Glee.  

Falling,
Forward,
Is the,
Way.

Hearing,
Each,
Other,
Is the,
Game.

But,
Silence,
Shouts,
When,
He comes,
Back.

She,
Watches.

She,
Looks.

She
Knows.

Where
They are.

At,
All,
Times.

Invisible to the Touch

What you,
See,
Is Where,
I am.

But,
U,
Cannot,
See me.

The dirt,
Does not,
Move.

When,
I'm,
Eating,
What was,
U. 

But there,
I am,
Moving,
Along.

If,
U,
Can,
See,
U,
Would,
Sanities,
Me.

But,
U,
Feel,
Something,
There,
Which is,
Me.

So,
Stop.
Don't,
Think.

Just look,
At
What U,
Can't see.

And,
Think,
Of me.

Gusto Winds

Never,
Have I,
Seen,
Clouds,
So Big.

The,
Coral,
I smealed,
Was rotten.

But,
The,
Air;
We breath,
Is satin.

One,
Sniff,
Of
Oxygen.

Gives,
My feet,
A kick,
Of
Adrenaline.

The man,
Above,
Is nice,
Enough.

My heart,
Below,
Knows the 
True North. 

We
Go,
We
Run,
We
Stop.
We
Drink?

Then one,
Sunset.

Becomes,
My last.

Dragging Excitement

Sad,
Is how,
It sounds.

Looking,
Around.

Remembering,
Where we,
Are.

Takes you,
To where,
We go.

Someone,
Pulls the,
Leash.

Someone,
Points the,
Way.

But,
Only a,
Stubborn,
Heeeyyy. 

Will,
Make it,
Your,
Way.

Stone Gaggle

 Pop,
Glitter,
and Go.

But,
Maybe,
Stay a,
While.

Is her,
Jam.

Looking,
Out,
At the,
Flowers.

Is her,
Vocation.

Going,
Out,
Seeing,
One.

Is like,
Seeing,
Them all. 

Only,
Today.
Did she,
See.

The other,
Side,
Of Joyful,
Wonder.

Duo Slow

Here,
I,
Go.

But,
No.

I,
Will,
Wait.

Until,
I,
Go.

Oh,
I,
See.

You,
Were,
To Make,
A streak.

Like,
The,
Green,
Owl.

Well,
Tomorrow,
You will,
Forget. 

And Today,
You did,
What you,
Said.*

*If 
Superman,
Turned,
The Google,
Timer,
To August
Twentieth.

Eastern Shawl

 Calm,
Is a,
Way.

To Sit,
Stair,
and,
Wait.

In the
Forest,
Next to,
Nature. 

But,
Wait.
There
She
Goes.

Did,
I see,
The White,
The Red?
Or,
Was that,
Her nose?

Sammy's Smile

1 Inch up,
1 Inch down,
Nothing is left,
But slime.

The head,
Looks,
Like,
It's tail.

Creeping,
Along,
Is the,
Way it,
Goes.  

Until,
Photons,
From beyond,
The tree tops,
Shine. 

The points,
Turn to,
The light.

Open mouth,
Displays,
Thousands,
Of shinny teeth,
For everyone,
To Enjoy!!

Always on the run

 Stop,
To Look.
At Where
To Go.

Is hard,
At 400,
M.P.H.

Out in,
Front,
Today.
Is the,
Same as,
What was,
Behind,
Yesterday.  

Find the,
Water.
Feed your
Soul and,
You go.  

A meal here,
A meal there,
anywhere,
Your 2Lb,
Are Hungry. 

With some,
Of the same,
And some new,
Every year,
You knew,
That you,
Fly,
By U.  

See you,
Soon.

namsblanken

I'm late.
To Swim,
To Where,
They Are.

My Bro,
My Dad,
And I.

Are Going,
To Be,
There.

When,
Looking,
At the,
Red Dots.

Who's,
Going to,
See me?

Swimming,
by the rocks,
Allows me,
To be Free.

After waves,
And waves,
My Dad,
Told me.

My Granda,
Swam,
That way.

So where,
I go,
Is Where,
I am.

If you want 
to know. 

Join me,
There,
When you
Can.

Ouroboros

Orange, Black 
And White.
This is, 
what everyone,
Sees,
At first.

Moving,
Across the earth.
Is a great way,
to get by.

Trying to Find
Something,
Or someone,
Keeps you, 
In front. 

Moving,
Everyday,
Is the goal. 

Where to go,
What to do.
Is that,
A problem?

Finding,
The End,
Starts with 
The Tail.

Stalling,
To move
Forward.
Points you,
To the End.  

As you eat,
You fell,
Your teeth,
On the,
scales.

Each bite,
Is easier,
as you move,
FORWARD.

The Slow Rock Dance

Moving so slow,
Wanting to be faster. 
Why can't,
Anyone hear. 

The dancing,
is medicine,
to my shell. 

Walking,
on the rocks.
Are just,
Like your docks.

But the one,
Who hears. 
Creates, 
the fear.

It starts
very small,
and grows
Very large. 

Only then.
Can you,
hear me,
squeal.
