Best Mat Poems

THE CAT SAT ON THE MAT

this perfect poem of mine
will rhyme in every line
no stanza’s out of time
or thoughts that drift sublime

the cat sat on the mat
her body round and fat
and when you stroke her fur
rewards you with a purr

blah…blah…fishpaste !

we all love faithful dogs

This family fears God above. 
Within these walls, there will always be love. 
The door will constantly be open to the good. 
I want that to be unequivocally understood. 
If you are good, you will always be welcome. 
We don't care where you are going,...

They all come in
There’s a family din
But the cat sat on the mat

Tea time done
They have some fun
But the cat sat on the mat

It’s early evening
Kids are screaming
But the cat sat on the mat

Eight at night
Kids out of sight
But the cat sat on the mat

Translation of Mathieu POKORA’s « Je suis tombé, tombé, tombé » by T Wignesan

(NOTE : I just thought I’d translate the lyrics (see the French original herebelow) of this lilting catchy tune not just because of its self-mocking candid insouciance and playful seriousness, but also...

Paul Le Mat, the guy
Who drove the yellow roadster
in American
Grafitti starred in the show,
Aloha Bobby & Rose,

With friend Manuel
Padilla Jr. who played
The little kid in
The Tarzan series of the 
Mid-sixties as Jai, Scarface,

Also, Grafitti,
Wanted to cash their weekly
Studio paychecks,
But they knew of the hotel
'DO NOT...

I 
Do not
Want to hear 
Your sales pitches.
I need no brushes.
I do not eat cookies.
I donated blood last week.
I have a good vacuum cleaner.
I have no time to read magazines.
Please do not tell me your religion.
Do I look like I wear makeup?
I have an alarm...

deride derision  divide division devise a vision
play with words like rythym  tick something squared
is power of two and cubed's the power of three 
not four that's more

I think there four iambic meters cause caucasion
indecision in a celtic...

You are an avenue
Of peeping daffodils
Dancing in the evening wind

You are fresh blackberries
The first flush of autumn
The pickings of my jam jar

You are a floating cloud
Reflecting depths of blue
On the wintry bay

You are the light 
On a December evening
Curled beside my glowing log

You are a...

Welcome Mat….       by: Steven Hudson


Hands tremble at the grip in my hand,
Two worlds collide in moments of time,
The trigger shakes, while onlookers scorn
What once was peace, now a violent storm

Away ye dogs of thunder come to plunder my house!
Who...

There was once a man named Mat.
He had no backbone to react.
People just walked all over him.
Mat was lookin' pretty grim..
Mat was just "flat out of luck..."
Someone just walked on him with guck!...

ACROSS A BLACK MAT
‘……..’’’’’’’’’’’’’’….’’’’’’’’




splash of yellow hues
winking across a black mat
breaths dance with stardust

light folds drenched eyelids
skins under quilt of twilight ~
lullaby the moon

and so aprons sleep
hanging on a weary chair ~
smelling  of meatloaf
