The Fish Whisperer (Haiku)

I am a big animal lover. No matter what size they are. I have had fish since the mid 80s. I love them. I love to watch them play, watch them eat, and I love to eat them too; just not my fish.

My fish talk to me
I am not crazy you see
they really love me

I Proclaim

I proclaim my love

Eternal for you

Only you

And nobody but you

I proclaim my soul for you

For just you

You know it’s true

That it is only you.

I proclaim I’m insane

For you

Just you.

Only you

Can make me feel blue

It’s so very true.

Just you.

I proclaim I need you to hear this

I need you to understand my bliss

If you are gone it is you I miss.

I proclaim this.

This.

Always and forever my sweet miss.

So Many Ways

There are so many ways

To fuck up.

So many ways to muck

It up.

So many ways.

Man, there are too many ways.

Stay away that day,

That brings shit my way,

And everything that way.

Cause like I said

To Billy J. Fred

You will end up dead.

Nature is Flutter

A. Hernandez 1 17 1989

All around me, you see, butterflies zoom around me.

Landing on my big nose is a spotted black with red background

One. It’s huge 3 inch right wing stretching as to

Say  hello to me. SO cute I believe.

More and more they came. Flutters and mutters of wings

Clutters the breeze, it was as if the air turn to

Flying insect and my lungs were breathing them in. much better

Than fog, smog, or that other toxic crap people suck in.

In the far distance the sun began to melt into the

Earth, with butterflies fading into the red fire that

The sun was imitating.

Poor Little Freak

Art Hernandez 5-19- 2000

Poor little freak pretending to sleep, with your eyes wide open and ready to swell.
Poor little freak, stab you I might, now get your butt out of my sight!
Poor little freak, with freaky glasses and freaked up smell,
I can stand you no longer so go straight to hell!

Poor little freak, with your tiny little freaky brain,
Sticking out the many holes in your head;
Its dripping to the ground, your dripping your stain.
Lap up your mess, and get before I find you dead!

Freaky little man, with freaky little plans,
Swarming in your freaking mind,
Condemned souls are what you find,
Freaky little man, better make your stand!

I must turn from this mirror……
I must turn from this mirror.
