Out on the farm a dog and cat No finer pals you’ll ever find. Then the dog barked, you’re not my kind How could the news be worse than that?
The chicken called and so did the rat It turns out now you’re not canine. Then I’m told it seems you’re feline! You never bark, you say meow Still we are friends I will allow I don’t care what others opine.

“Bird” In A rhyme line
La Poesía Dice “Beep-Beep”
In the comics beep-beep is heard Just two words and the hero’s found. With a roadrunner’s trademarked sound Coyote is shaken and quite stirred
In the comics there is a bird Known for agility and speed, He fights for justice, never greed. Acme’s anvils and TNT Always ordered by the coyote Will never work that’s guaranteed!

“True” In C rhyme line
La Piscina
In bright sun, the blue summer pool A vinyl cooler, filled with a hose. Hidden respite to shed some clothes Dream of cold water I’m no fool.
This oasis is my jewel A hidden scheme some say it’s true Though it’s plastic we still make do. Now jealous neighbors come around It’s bought at Wal-Mart so they frown So we wade and bid them adieu
The old trainers tell a story Of two boxers in training camps. Both train so hard to be the champ, Now here’s the truth of this story Lesson found in allegory. When two fighters are trained so hard One will lose with his record scarred Winner keeps seeking a gold belt Still both must face what life has dealt Two fighters fought one stayed on guard.

You won the office most thought you’d lose By making statements, you played the news. You made big promises, it’s quite a list Orders to Senate, let nothing be missed.
First thing to do is turn back the clock Cancel all programs, old solutions to block. Claim the economy is going quite bad Obama’s solutions at best were a fad.
If a memo’s reviewed by the leftwing press Just who’s to know – you made a quick guess. They checked the answer you thought would fly, So question questions, and continually deny.
Pandemic is peaking you took to the mike Ignoring experts, deaths continued to spike. Cotton smudged makeup, not good for your look Pence wears a mask, you think he’s a snook.
So many people your inaction has killed You blame the governors, claim they’re unskilled. You act like a loser, you act like a clown So many wrong answers, The Don doubles-down!
In prairie dreams skies look bluer The white clouds drift and fade away. Day is calling from the doorway, With a promise of adventure.
In the distance rests my future, Beyond dark worries of the night. Dreams are calling from bright sunlight, Past the shadows, beyond the fence. Chasing dreams only I can sense With arms outstretched, my soul takes flight!

I’m finding Décima Poetry offers a platform to voice rants and outrage as well as thoughts of hope and love.
Here is an example of my latest Décima Poetry Rant
Early morn manic excreting Ludicrous rants of angry souls. His twisted facts and twisted goals Are his subjects of vile tweeting.
Race baiting’s the point of greeting As he seeks to divide us all He’s desperate to avoid a fall. When leadership lacks restriction And words nothing more than fiction His failings are greatest of all!
