Best Calico Poems


Calico Black and I
on my trusty stallion calico black
following illusions of sunlit skies
searching for something unseen
up where cold winter wind sighs

for a moment we decide to pause
on frozen fields now snowy white
to catch a breath from our riding
thru day's light that falls at night

we're both seeking green pastures
and...

Premium Member Autumn's Calico Quilt
Lays before me, a quilt of calico.
Deep and soft, spilt upon the woodland path.
Born of crimson kites with golden hues,
cast, as trees unburden, prepare for sleep.

Scents sweeten the sip of Autumn's blaze,
that tender nip of frosted morn.
Melding earth, sun and rain upon the wind,
made worth,...

Calico, the Cat
I’m Calico, the fourth, and though you haven’t asked,
I’m here to tell you what you’re thinking; so relax.
The Duel, you know that poem  by Eugene Field,
it was all a big hoax, ‘cause the facts were kept sealed.
     The Old Dutch...

I saw
a dead kitty
lying on the roadway.
Somebody’s heart will be broken
today....

The Calico Dragon
A lady I know,
Out in New Mexico,
Befriended a calico dragon.
She used to haul him around
Old Santa Fe town,
In her convertible Ford station wagon...

Blue Calico Days
A picture I'll never forget
In my heart her smile is still a lasting bless
And I can't help but think of those days
When we walked along the calico ways.
The clock, the gong and my dismay
Ticking towards the sorriest days,
And I can't stop the time running away
She...

The Flying Calico
She leaped off the top of the refrigerator
    Through the air
Only to reach over to the portable washer
    Where her food was positioned right there.

Thud....
    The resonating sound just startled me
So I assumed that

Premium Member Dear Calico Cat
Dear calico cat your colors splat,
in oranges and golds and fortified blacks.
A pallet for the eyes to see your rich
fur tapestry..
The sun embraces your royalty.
How glorious is God's gift to thee....

Premium Member Cardinal Killer
Warm cuddle curled
Up next to me
Cardinal killer
Jasmine
Your human was six
When she asked
For a Calico
Next day 
A white black and gold ball of love
Joined our family
Full grown
In cat years at least
One year older than 
The one you've been 
Sweet loving companion to
And now her daughter, too
Never...
