Best Fur Poems

Your memories quirk in the rays of 
    stagnant oceans,
    my yearning hangs on the tail of the dark 
    knight moon 
    as it illuminates the beats of your heart

Cassidy was a curious dog;
One day he walked into a bog,
Coming out, he looked about,
He couldn't see and began to pout;
Because he’s a sludge caked dog!

a mouse freely frolics 
         in the sunny meadow;
                 as 'neath the grass slithers,

What to drink this morning? Coffee or tea?
Cold or hot? Sweet or slightly tart for me?
I do not care about breakfast. I have no time for that.
I have to feed the dog. I have to feed the cat.
Getting in the car I realize I am...

She was old, very old, frail and weak but still beautiful,
I recall holding her as a new born kitten;
so delightful to watch her play and do silly things,
growing up to be so graceful in her movements.
Always a lover of cuddling, purring even at twenty;
I...

Chickens covered with feathers
But both can be pets...

Some years ago I fell on hard times.
So my friend took me in and my cat Kiwi too.
At times life speaks in rhythm and rhymes.
We had adventures and this story's true.

She had Simba who was a huge dog.
Sometimes the cat and dog would fight.

Fur Elise I play
For you I come to stay
Up close I prick with gay
Notes of you I lay and pray

Fur Elise I travel far
Poems of you I fill my jar
Up the hill I reach for you
Down the hill I search for you

Fur Elise I sing...

on behalf of the little guy
deep behind enemy territory
welcome to the nameless republic
all good capitalists want a monopoly
all good physicians need you sick
the National Antidote Party broke down the door
I told them everything I know

loosened my bindings and...

so many frigid clouds
so many dangling drooping dippers
on this icy, icy night of paper, powder and pearl…
she gushes out from the night blanket,
cats and tigers in flight, trees mashing ivory
feathers with silver stones.
her lukewarm eyes sink with velvet birds
sketching her photographs tissue crepe,
ocean crème and...

Für Elise 

walking through the hidden realm of 
my heart,

whistling close by me, a poisoned 
dart, 

burning lightning in a pearly orb,

the essence of my agony you 
absorb,

echoes of a dog's anguished howl,

the opening eyes of a new-born 
foal,

ruby tears from the eyes of an...

Angel's of old...
with their great wings outspread,
seen with bright light and a heavenly glory...
is not quite how it goes
in this modern day story.
Mine starts with some fur...
and a whisker or two...
with chicken or furniture he'd rather chew.
He comes with four paws and a long flowing...

Pantoum about Ernie Petersen,

The buyer and trapper jawed trade
“What’s fur fetching at the Winnipeg auction?”
At Rose Prairie the deals was made
At the wood burning stove with caution

“What’s fur fetching at the Winnipeg auction?”
Cold winter makes pelt with heft.
The buyer fingers a...

I seem to keep punishing Bo my naughty Golden Retriever,
He sneaks and lurks and is suspicious with Rosie our sassy cat,
My daughter says she caught them snuggling, I don’t believe her,	
There’s no way Bo would be so gentle because he’s...
