Best Catie Poems

Angel of mourning soup
Angel of mourning
Who gives birth to fresh morning dew who 
helped me pursue who showed me the light
when I was lost for clues in times of blues

Angel of assistance
From were did you fall
From heaven?
From where did you fall
From where did you
hear my...

Cloudy
Ominous display
Lowering, twisting, threatening.
Bleak, severe?            Gentle showers?
Refreshing, newness, refreshing 
Blue             sky
Sunshine...

Habits at Dawn   (Collaboration Contest)

by~ Catie Lindsey

Everything eventually dies
in long hours of neglect
and what remains is not what you think
nor what you suspect.
Guarded safely forty fathoms below
where little white lies and evil intent
cannot swim the bustling tide
of the things strong men invent.
Cruelty in...

Television-
As American as Chop Suey,
We watch it day and night,
Till our minds get very gooey...

I remember shows,
That are no more,
Ones my dad, or I, 
Did adore

He loved his quiz shows,
A requirement of old age...
(Like moving to Fla. from NY)
I remember when
"The Leakest Wink" was all...

one last poem
 
You would never have to share me
If you would only claim me for your own
No one has touched me
I have friends
and then I have closer friends
But I love you
But leaving me
you gave me away
I cannot bear the pain
 
You speak as if...

Catie Lindsey from out the Blue...
Oh Yes Oh Yes! Indeed 'Twas True...

That Devil was a Crafty Sort!
He'd thought to leave me without Retort!
Quite tempting bit o'fate that Ace...
His slight o'hand his set o'face!

But Aye...'tis true all said and done...
'Tis He not me that wager won!
Thus...

Caties Poem 

Children play and scream
in a world at war
school bell rings



MY POEM:  Tanka

Children play war games(5)
we laugh as they run guns raised(7)
Prized birthday gift toy (5)
church bells, war heroes  at rest (7)
Mothers sad good-byes, guns kill!(7)

Ah Catie,
Know I know somebody cares
I shall not sleep
Unless I am well prepared
To suckle at your lips
Some vast truth
Of what you expect from honeyless root.
You are the best friend yet
And I regret
I did not excite the eroticism of your breast
Am I gone impotent so early
Is...

For Catie Lindsey
Regarding Poem "Unapproachable Me."

There are many things on I must rely
From right now until the day I do die
What my poem said when it is speaking
Satisfy others with what they are seeking.

Why should love in our lives be lacking?
When your once fine face...

Ode to Summer Days

Oh summer days, thy laughter, children playing,
Thee, from whom sorrows fly and joys blossom,
Are singing, like angels with smiling eyes gleaming,

Savory sweetness released before autumn,  
Prevalent giggles multiplied in thee,
Who coloreth each new day bright and gladsome.

Delightful squeals, escape young souls...

CHASE THEM

Don't follow dreams, chase them!
You will see it in their eyes,
those words, a true lovers score!
One day in your eyes it will be branded!
Loves passion will be truly yours.
To hear those words, I LOVE YOU!
Be mine be, be my ever loving!
Your one...

as i go running through cyber space
i wonder who it is 
that is giving me chase
i'm so excited about playing
the game
i wonder who it is that'll
think of my name
it better be phyllis 
or could it be jane
which of these poets 
remembered my name
while i'm sitting...

Trust cannot be a red flag, loving what time one has left!
No one is meant to be lonely,
When one has only left the time that one has.
Normal women and men want the same thing, to share
With the other the time one has left.

A large open...
