Best Claws Poems

Stealing what the day won
grey clouds evoke despair,
choking a waning sun.

A dullness dims the air
and flower petals close,
in order to prepare.

Bruised indigo splotches
dapple diminished blues,
with dark purple blotches.

Flashing within the gloom
lightning intensifies;
with a thunderous boom.

And its jagged claws scratch
at the air in the sky,
searching out...

Dear Santa Claws, for Christmas I’d like a new chew bone; I’ve been a real good dog this year; I don’t even bite the cat, Sheba, when she attacks my head, as I sleep and that’s not easy to do since Sheba has put a...

While claws of full moon pierce the lanes, beware

For Hallow slakes on a witching twilight,

Ghoulish tricks from dark shadows choke the air

Engraving beams with ripped imprints of fright!

Ouch! They cause pain whether
from human or cat.
Words can be claw-like when
attacking an opponent's back.
Being swift, cruel and degrading,
Is the clarion call of our generation.

The smallest of souls have violent mouths.
Souls in people with character can hold their own,
During harangues and deceitful, vicious onslaughts.

I need not mention who...

I saw Santy Claws today which was weird
Because he usually is not seen even in December
I told everyone 

They looked at me like I used to look at Chicken Little
When he was crying that the sky was falling in
Maybe the sky is falling in, I...

A predator's rapier claws;
keeps my cat in good health.
Being black, she blends with shadows
and stalks her prey with stealth.

Pouncing at nearly lightning speed;
she's a featureless blur.
And yet, when cuddled in my lap,
Death wears the softest fur....

Santa “Claws”

it was bitterly cold
the tree lot that night
as I loaded our tree
tied it up really tight
drove through wet streets
the windblown fresh flurries
past the slow moving cars
in this season that hurries
pulled into the driveway
to the family’s applause
a much muted version
of that for the “Clause”
Carried the...

Dear Santa Claws, please bring me a new catnip mousey; my old one has so many holes that the nip won’t stay in and I can’t eat it all in one day; it gives me the munchies and a headache.

I also need another collar, one...

You talk with condensing tones
Crushing down on shaken bones.
You whisper secrets in my ears
That you say I had no right to hear
Your claws dig deeper year by year....

As The Claws Dig Deeper 
I lay with my lips to the floor
I can feel the agony seep through my veins as the blood begins to pour
As i Gnash my teeth i hear them crack
I can feel the claws as they dig deep into my...

You yank me from my curtain climb
     But I shall nap and bide my time.

             You'll pass by soon enough....

Safe behind the bathroom door,
I claw the paper to the floor.

             Oh, hey, you home?...

plasma barrier
force field
pressed against
yielding bubble
slipping through
where have I been

precious energy
spent with 
no return
foolishly
so many verses
wasted

treasure hunting
down helpless
vapid creatures
left inviolate
monster medicine
not

cold heart beating
icy breath swelling
preening scales
ticking claws
filing sharp
words
swishing long
slithery tail

pheromones 
of worthy prey
lurking invisibly
close
deep rattling sigh
reptilian razor
head
slashes fro
coordinates locked

Kodachrome melting
vision dissolving
not his 

homeless heart
matriculating 
from detachment
to...
