He Certainly Ain't No Cat

     I am a carnivorous feline, red in tooth and claw,
     I climb in through the windows and I creep in through the door
     And hide in secret places...

When the wisest man in the world said
"It would be a tragic shame if ever 
The Great Forest were to be reduced
To a small clump of trees."
Everyone, without exception, answered
"It certainly would."

So when The Great Forest
Was eventually reduced
To a small clump of trees,
That is what...

I went out to trick or treat
wearing fake bloodstained hands and feet
Soon I began to get prickly heat
So I jettisoned them in the street
The finder went as white as a sheet
Then dropped dead with no heartbeat
Now I’m feeling like dead meat
How could I be so...

i like your certain style of
certainty,
in an uncertain world
rolling in ambiguity,
i wont ride cliche into the sunset
made of cheese
by declaring that you are 
my 'rock'
a rock is born of geological
circumstance
you are more like a house brick
built for purpose...

Rise above the somber earth
Light shines upon her girth

White glitter on the ground
No birds, no bugs, no sound

Crispy breath, sky so blue
Winter has begun, the only truth I know...

I know I'm smart-
I don't need anyone's validation;
Just tell me where to start-
I don't need the whole demonstration .

I know my heart is gentle,
Sentimental,
But cold as ice does freeze-
When I please,
To have you weak in your knees;
Certainly I'm a disease.

In order to not get into...

Prove the antagonisms,
      dare to cede to impulses
      be perplexed by chasms,
      not living before pulses ...

      Not having out of love,

I just want to take the day off
 Walk all over the house, up and down the hall in my drawers
With a lit cigarette in my mouth 
    "Round the time I was supposed to be clocking in
Trying to meet ends
More I...

Oh, my, he is certainly built! The women said of the knight.
He was hidden in armor that was truly marvelous and right.
If he had half the muscles his armor had, he was a catch.
He is my hero a lady-in-waiting said, I think he’ll be my...

The overwhelming feeling of Indifference stems not from the originally thought overall       
  “not knowing” but in fact the opposite.  
The feeling in truth reflects the rare inner sense that identifies a subconsciously known

The browns from the winter
have all changed to green.
The harsh and sharp edges
are mossy and soft. 
The breeze is more gentle:
no clouds in the sky.
The robins are nesting;
the hawk is aloft.
The creek beds have water,
no longer harsh ice,
clear pools in the shade,
inviting and nice.
With sun...

Certainly You Have a Right to Be Wrong

By Elton Camp

Too bad some aren’t a know-it-all like me
It’d keep them from many an error free

Folks should be careful with things they say
Lest such gross ignorance their words betray

BOAT OF INTEREST

Something troubles us certainly
Something always drums trouble
To us
Some have children yet pockets of
Troubles outside childbearing lives
With them closely
Some can eat but no food while
Others have abundance but with
Much troubles dancing around them


Some have wealth without heir
Many have heirs without wealth
Yet many sticks of...
