Best Spotted Poems

Spotted Fawn and I

I whispered quietly to you, just a foot away
"I am not here to harm you, just gathering
wild ramps on this limestone bluff" curled up
next to a beach tree, one eye peaking at me
near the ground, ears alert, you lay so peacefully
enrobed in...

In the past you’d fought bouts of depression
but your sudden death came out of the blue
You hid so well the signs of your regression
and that you’d plunge and die in the blue bayou

I gather up my words and start stuttering,
at your funeral service I take...

I 'm a cloud watcher
Always watching clouds
The sky is so blue
With patches of white
All different shapes 

There were animals 
Dogs kissing cats
Cats sitting beside 
A very large dog
The dog was sleeping

Sometimes I see hills
I see winding roads
There are huge castles
Islands small and big
Couples embrace

Sharing passion...

Rolling hills, alive with hydrangea and thyme
  O'er cavernous quarries of sapphire and lime
Darting monarchs, tiger swallowtails
  Artwork on the wing, a-lighting in the dale

A tender, spotted fawn startles awake
  My awkward footsteps her slumber shakes
She pirouettes away, with virtuoso leaps

I'm a cloud watcher
Always watching clouds
The  sky is deep blue
With patches of white
All different  shapes

There are animals
Dogs kissing a cat
Cat sitting beside
A very large dog
The dog lay sleeping

Sometimes I  see hills
i see winding roads
There are huge castles
islands small and big
Couples embraced

with spotted eggs
gingerly cared for

The spotted owl is a small thing,
A bit of flesh upon the wing,
Yet lawyers argue of its worth
With words that echo o'er the earth.
Loggers count the good jobs lost,
Saying astronomical the cost
Of saving forests for this bird,
That preservation arguments are absurd.

This insignificant, dark brown fowl,
The...

the old shaggy yellow spotted dog
ran quickly around the drawing room 
chasing a long tale

until it spotted itself
in a mirror on the wall
and was amazed 

by how old it is looking 
and how quickly 
time passes

remembering its youth 
it laid down in a cradle in...

In the canopy the spotted owl waits
Uneasy, but not knowing just why
His life's habitat shrinking each day
Stating his worry with a hooting cry

Living his life in old growth forests
Knowing nothing of men and their ways
The North West his perfect environment
Deserving to live there the rest...

I spotted a lonely cat dressed in a purplish blue
laying on a log remembering her love so untrue;
yards away, a couple watched in disbelief...
wondering if that was the cause of her grief?

I saw four brown kittens at her feet playing; 
they rolled in the dirt...

"Der aint nothin wrong with dat,"

Mrs. Quincy's twin Vietnamese spotted ponies

said L. Ron Clark.

"Reckon she shoulda penned em up.

     or the reality

you are just passing by anyway

Grandmother's spotted tablecloth has withstood all the town gossip
and ancestral judgment calls, casually, as it may rest on her mahogany table,
It has been the subject of numerous fables,

An unexpected gift handed down from generation, Granny's affinity to its unusual
colors, patterns and intricacy of art, has...
