AFFAIR OF THE AIR
By Carl Hall
Feathered forms
who weather the storms
that nature adorns
and imbues
from the perch
of an aerial view
where they lurk
far above the hub
of our human zoo
as they loom in pursuit
of their birthright
towards a worm site
to service their appetites
until they once again ascend
to assume flight
totally in tune
with the dizzying heights
as they pirouette with Lear jets
and neck with scenic sunsets
via a supreme winged fling
they soar and swerve
But don’t try this at home
I would strongly urge
for this affair of the air
is strictly for the birds
LET IT RAIN
By Carl Hall
It’s overcast and cloudy
as moisture cloisters
in a crowded space
Impounding surrounding landscape
at a lounging pace
As the humidity fellates
Permitting fluidity
to escape
to its’ eventual fate
in a torrential rape
of cities, states
And all individuals
who stand penciled in its’ wake
As the God’s assemble
at Heaven’s gate
proud to partake
in a rousing ovation
for the outgoing precipitation
Serenaded by angels
in a thirsty refrain
towards their earthly destination
Let it rain
