Not everything is a rerun this month–oh no, no. And today we are pleased to present another stunning collection of photographs taken by Christopher J Ananias. “CJA”–as I like to refer to him, has a keen eye for words and the world–Leila

A found deer skull smiles at me
from the long grass, while
distant trembling hare
tiptoes to box
a clover
with gloved paw,
ears back.
(Co-Editor note: It is that time of year again, perhaps the best. “Seems odd that we should celebrate the macabre” is one of the dumbest lines I think I have ever heard. “Behold the beyond” is probably closer to the spirit and Spirits of this time of year. That, and the happy fact that Co-Editor DWB will be taking the controls for the rest of this fine month!–LA)

Not all Birds must be real to fly
But don’t you dare try to fry the fried
Your friends will think you horizontal
By those talon scars on your tonsils

‘tis a spat as old as rhyme
one must be late to tell the time
he says why must we early chase the worm
if it were french toast maybe I’d learn

My mother was right when I was back in the nest
She said your stripes were simply a jest
nothing earns its keep whilst abed
You’ll be fodder for Cats unless you move ahead

I am too hot to be smart my gurlie tells me
But I have the beak to make history
So I when I mistake my reflection for another
Remember I, by song, might be both your lover and your brother

Henny Penny ain’t got shit on Viv the Wick
That brooder house floozy is a silly twit
Tomorrow I will be queen of the roost
After she’s served with corn and the awful truth

Today and tomorrow pictures will be supplying their well known ability to say a thousand words, and then some. These are courtesy of The Drifter today and Christopher J. Ananias tomorrow.
If you are not shy, send us five images and we will be happy to give you a photo shoot day of your own. Standards of legality and good taste apply for those very few among you who need to be told such things–Leila

Dale and family love Dogs, and it shows that the feeling is mutual!
