Best Paw Poems

Peel 'em and eat 'em,
All you want.
To yo table straight from da Gulf.

Cooked wit corn and taters
an' sausage dat's smoked.
Buy 'em today while we're stoked.

Paw Paw caught 'em in his lil shrimpboat.
Maw Maw cooked 'em in dat big 'o black pot
outside on da fire dat...

As we say grace around this table
sadly some are just not able
to fold their paws, to bow their head
repeat the words as they are said
and yet with reverence here they sit
just happy to be part of it.

A sip of tea, a muffin crumb
some jelly licked...

Silence hushed, a crowd in awe,
Only crickets could be heard.
Under the spell of the Babe,
They looked to where he pointed,
Hoping to see a home run. 

Perhaps the greatest player
America ever-knew,
Would, once again, please the crowd.

But the pitcher wasn't phased,
And threw a wicket screwball.
Babe watched its...

PAW PRINTS IN THE SAND 

David Lasaine 2017

When you were alone, I was there.
When the sun rose or set, I was there.
When you faced death, I was there.
When you were sad, I was there.
When the darkest of times happened, I was there.
When you shivered...I was...

Trapped under cat’s paw....

dogs that left faux paw prints extant within me life 

lids black out and allow me to write
about a petty issue ye aye in vite
while eyes shut tight

lids black out and allow me to write
while eyes shut tight
bring back four legged friends sprite
and though many years passed quite

I can remember those precious creatures 
   who barked at night
howling at inaudible sound or invisible light
casting silhouettes that fight

punctured the air with...

The memories that I have of you 
Everyday they flood my mind
You weren't here to long 
But long enough to
Leave some really deep paw prints on my heart
The way that you lived your difficult life
How you wanted to be with everyone
Laying on the shoulders or...

Each time you look into my eyes
I cry a little as I embrace the soft kisses on my cheek
For you are there from when I wake up until I go to sleep
Watching over me in every possible way
My Fur Face
How I love you are so...

sometimes staring at a wordless emptiness of white 
hesitant fingers hover over keys like a fox ears over snow 
It's there reflecting in time's vibration smelling of salt and tar 
Lines twisted taut by steady wind firmly anchored at full sail 
Lights flash erratically through...

Eyes aglow,I roam without fear.
Ears pierced,a vibrating sound.
Claws emerge a subtle grip of ground.
Like a ghost in the night.
I am rarely seen.
Scoping the plain,checking the scene.
Smart and sleek.
I can hold my own.
Tempered set,I work alone.
Enemies exist.
They rapture me not.
Never will you catch me move lacking...

Cafted in purity through the veins of the Serengeti
A writing based on a search for natural beauty
An enriched relaxer for the lion's mane and golden coat
Raindrops that burn black spots on an otherwise plain cat

Smudges of puddled ink for the springbok's leap
Drew a mustache over...

The triumphant South Paw  (lefty)

I wanted to use my artistic bent 
To a world renowned manufacturer I was then sent
"I want to paint your plates and other things
And learn how to put on the pretty golden rings."

“Hold up your hands, tell me which do...

PAW PAW ADAGE OF LIFE.

I know this fruit
I know its old nursery rhyme
I love its taste so sweet
The softness and sweetness align

But where thou grow makes me wonder
In bola thou stand amidst dirt
Cheered by smells and empty nylons 
There you stand so tall and with...
