Hanging upside down, in a nearby tree
Is a cuckoo bird, and he’s on an eating spree
Gobbling down Rambutan, delightfully sweet
He can’t get enough, so he uses both feet
As well as his beak, to stuff them all in
When suddenly, above him, his tail does spin
He tries to be cool, but his wings start sprawling
Usually what happens, when the cuckoo’s falling

In the back of my mind, I hold a vague memory
I was always the scapegoat, to make you look good
Thank goodness, I finally found, my own sanctuary
To regenerate my soul, something you never could
Word of the Day – Sanctuary
FOWC with Fandango – Scapegoat
Ragtag Daily Prompt – Regenerate

#freeverse, #poetry, clouds, dorindaduclos.com, mourning, Night Owl Poetry, poems, rain, sorrow, souls, storm, writing
There’s a stillness, a calm, surrounding night
In the air, you can smell, the scent of raindrops
Not yet formed, lingering quietly nearby
Little by little, the skies open, into silent tears
Shedding the pain, of a million crying spirits
Mourning, for the ones, who cannot mourn
Embracing the sorrow, as if it was their own
Gently washing away, the sins of the Earth
Silently cleansing each eternal soul
Then vanishing….as if the clouds were never

Off in the distance, hiding by a tree
Sal T. Coyote, waits, impatiently
He knows soon, dinner will arrive
Then he can feed his hungry wives
So they’ll stop nagging, making noise
At last, he can hang out, with the boys
Every day, around quarter past four
The roadrunner speeds by, with a roar
He has to time it perfectly, otherwise
This time he’ll surely meet his demise
Finally, he hears the familiar sound
A swoosh goes by, he hits the ground
And misses his prey, that’s nothing new
He can’t go home empty, he’ll be the stew
He gathers up leaves, and a bug or three
Heads back to his haven, behind the tree
Where he’ll stay, saddened, filled with malaise
Taunted by a roadrunner, til the end of his days
Meep! Meep!
