Best Paws Poems

In the verdant valley of claw-some tales  
lived a lady in a cottage of tails.  
Every morning, her cat Grey loves to sit,  
sip chamomile tea until paws permit,  
a scratch here and there to wake her spirit,  
so the...

Squirrel’s friendly kisses,
Squirrel’s loving squeeze.
Squirrel’s touch just misses.
Squirrel, if you please!

We are playing surprise?
Squirrel’s paws on my eyes.
I am supposed to guess?
Up in this squirrel nest?

Squirrel of my dream,
You are making me beam.
You are a shining star,
I know which one you are....

Place your hand upon my coat,
Watch me shiver so,
Pure ecstasy with you I feel,
Through my eyes I touch your soul.

For ill be there at your waking,
My tail, wagging to and fro.
In the evening bring you comfort,
When the days, stress has took its toll.

Can there be...

I have a cat that wears no hat;
though her paws do love to bat,
her mice and balls,
all through my hall.

A clever cat,
a feisty cat,
I made her a nice catnip rat;
my hyper-active tabby cat.

A cat with tail all poofed and fluffed;
her claws are never, ever rough;
they’re...

Poetry drips from cat paws
Out of drowsy sonorous sleep
Through the green slit
Of a blinking eye
That alone shows a profound
Consciousness
Of environment, and world
Creeping up in its fawn colored grass
To pounce from nowhere.

This cat that I cannot surprise
Takes me like play rag
Toy or rat
In its dripping mouth
And...

A
leopard,
silent paws
do not betray
him.

I closed my eyes for just a few moments to take a nap.
I was dreaming about my purrty lil' feline friend, Rose.   
My sleep was disturbed by a gentle tap tap tap tap tap.    
What are these flighty little things...

Paws on the Avenue

Every afternoon ‘bout half past four
Paddy and I go out the door
No straying from our daily ritual.

Paws on Fido Avenue
Happy tails of sloppy kisses unmuzzled
Parade of canines – every kind “bone-i-fied.”

A purebred mutt strut cavalcade
Fashion parade of single coats
Long hairs march in...

PAWS FOR CHRISTMAS

The tree stood straight,
It looked so nice.
Even had shiny things,
To look like ice.

A star on the top,
Was special to see.
Plus the lights and toys,
Filled our hearts with glee.

A package or two,
Were placed on the floor.
For family and guests,
To see and adore.

Then the puppy...

An Ancient crazy Ox, 
Once had a whacking job,
Breaking on the dance floor,
One too many holes to show!
 
A sleepy grizzly bear on four,
Drinking ale with a drunkard 
boar,
On board a rocking Boat with 
one oar,
Singing 'bottles of rum' from 
Jamaica to Singapore!
 
Mind me...

All the puppies sit in a row,
waiting for Santa Paws to show.
They knew he had a ways to go
cause mommy had told 'em so.

Is that Santa Paws I see?
No, that just cannot be.
I've been good, really
good, especially me.

What is that loud noise I hear?
Shhh! Quiet!...

When he's bouncing down the hall,
Thunder Paws is what you call.
Thumping, thudding, in your ear,
That's the sound, you will hear.

Tipping, tapping, as he walks,
Yepping, yapping, when he talks.
Bouncing, jumping everywhere,
Bumping falling here and there.

As that puppy starts to grow,
He bats those feet, to and fro.
Watch...

When juvenile,
it matters not the ticking of the clock.
For then, time creeps as if on velvety paws,
casting its shadow o'er the earth;
but as we mature it appears,
as a bird of prey on outstretched wings.
Always solemn-faced, talons extended,
snuffing life as were it a candle at first...

There was a mouse wanting out of the cold
Scurried up the lead pipe wrapped up in old
Blankets. Feeling safe and warm
Fell asleep whilst the ice storm
Came. Blankets pilled,  among ice cube mold.

Out in the yard the frozen mouse was thrown.
Cat meowed, goody a mouse...
