Best Paisleys Poems

Some cats have paisleys, some have plaids.
Some wear neon’s, some wear angel wings. 
I am Sun God Cat of Polka Dot Blind Fold.
I wear polka dots in all colors, and they sing. 

You can call me Sun God Cat for Short if you want.
I am...

Why is this blank paper staring at me?
It’s getting annoying, so I stare back,
but the winner of this contest is already decided.
Why is it getting under my skin?
Possibly because by the 6th line of this verse
I should be 4 stanzas in with its clean white...

In the seventies we thought we were modern
Utmost chic, sassy, on the cutting edge.
With our bell bottom slacks
And our bell sleeved shirts and dresses
Perhaps we were.
Everyone had the same pattern.
It was fun to see which fabrics others would select.
Paisleys and florals were vividly popular!
The polka...

Yellow, orange and pink were the modern colors of the late sixties.
Stripes were being worn with flowers, and paisleys were big.
Artists were daring new things never dared before in recorded history.
Helping to lead our flexible mindset into the roaring seventies.
Fashion shook the nation almost as...

My hearts on the shelf.
I put my heart on the shelf today, without cunning array, or tears in vain.

A closet next to a furnace with wool clothing that’s not highly desirable.
The argyles, and paisleys are smiling at my heart while I go upon my day...

what planet could this be for boys of ten
and then one hundred

movement felt, 
looking at the hardened grain
of hands caressed 
with fingers pressed against themselves 

absorbing stillness’ breath 
suspended in each air a pair 
of warm yet liquid-frozen thoughts 

captured 
then released with care

youthful power...

"Delta dawn, what's that flower you have on?"

                  Daisy paisleys on my gown-               hand-drawn.

Shh! Grandma cautioned her parents. She is in dream child mode.
The paisleys and oranges and polka dots are gearing up her dendrites.
Driving her REM to the world of magic, you need to let her be.

colors galore
came from her magic pen
in paisleys and plaids
kaleidoscope of prints and fashions.

she was unaware
just throwing things onto a page
not seeing the magic others saw
it was the beauty of what kept her poems honest

she flavored many reader's days
And sometimes their weeks,
without ever realizing the glory...

Quilted cat had a right to be puffed up and proud.
We all knew he was the prettiest cat, not a bit cowed.
With his paisleys and checks, he was subtle, not loud.
He was dapper and darling, the greatest cat in our crowd....

Golden plush juicy olives filled with colors sea bright  
from the southern border tall beautiful daisies
that remind me of my mother's floral dress of paisleys    
Alpine mountains that echo my father's youthful sight  
and an ocean so blue it takes...

I have one mumu
It disappeared a week ago
The second I stopped searching
I found it

I had accidentally turned it inside out
The inside is white and dull; boring
Nothing like the outside with orange and blue paisleys...

Gorgeous designs in unusual paisleys
delight me in this shattered masterpiece
In the bowels of the background unknown creatures lie
I squint my eyes, trying to decipher and decide
The screen is beautiful now, and it has character
Something that could have never happened before.
I bow to your designs, I...

How do you like my new bedroom? She asked me.
It was bright cheerful, colorful, with wonderful touches.
I loved it as much as anyone has ever loved a bedroom.
Because it reminded me of my childhood, my preteen years.

It is an orange, yellow, pink combination of colors...
