Best Whiskers Poems

Whiskers of time brush up
    'gainst gossamer silk web
  Slow down, slow down, they said

  'Til forces impure
    back off their attack
  Faced down, turned-around

"A Whiskers Tale: Watching the Detectives"



Her whiskers tickle
when the lights go out
hormonal huntress 
on the prowl
Moonlight chasing 
itsy bitsies 
up the wall
a silent investigator 
tap dancing silently
soft as mink and sibilant 
paws poised 
across a different kind of 
polished slippery dance floor
criminally inclined
researching minds
a baby...

Life is so tough, strong and high
bag of grit and elasticity difficult to die.

Staying strong even with a hit head
gives it strength to spot a hidden bread.

Combination of senses so powerful is a credential
the interplay of agility and speed is so essential.

Carnivorous in nature, giving...

snuggled up to the gentle fire
under the moon and stars 
he rests his head
and nestles into
a long lingering
swig of whiskey 
that drifts his mind
on the night breeze
like the billowy puff
slowly eclipsing
the moon 
a sparkling stream of embers 
crackles the wind
as he pets his dogs ears
and...

Whiskers tickle my cheek, 
while purring his song.
I wake up alone, grief returns.
Until I notice his warm,
imprinted pawprints.

A hooligan cat homeless and tattered, 
hungry, and lurking on my porch battered;
a bitten ear and one eye,
so blue that it made me-  sigh !
Brought him in and soon my home was shattered . . .

Whisper a smile to my ears, love,
Whisper a tear to my heart.
Whisper your memory over and over,
Whisper away please,                   apart.


Whisper yesterday gone, love,
Whisper a moment right now....

When disappointing who we love.
Sudden whiskers of defeat,
Cover our face in shame
But there's no one else to blame,
The mirror shows the culprit. 
When you feel the need to split,
Change your mind and play the game
Nothing comes close to the rush
Of a the burning in your...

Whiskers tickle my mouth
His hot breath is close.
I wake up quickly!
I push him away and yell "Buddy!"
He does not mind....

A cat's prowess is in his thin and long
Whiskers. They be walking sticks that tell him
Who be where and what be there and all of
His surroundings. From him, nothing is hid.

Yet man's prowess is not like Cat's long beard,
For man has not got any as...

Whiskers That Free

Inspired by the painting Magdalena Ventura with Her Husband and Son by Jusepe de Ribera, 1631.

The painting shows a bearded lady with her husband, breastfeeding an infant.

Viewing the painting will (perhaps) make sense of the poem

God gave me the chance to win
By placing...

There glows the Crystal Ball with a Mia Farrow,
Panic stricken, scared eyes, disenchanted narrow.
‘Swagger and Strut’ learning corporate sorrows,
Chirpy Meina singing out, aloud; of tomorrow.

“------ Mama Mia shadi ke pher mein.”

Dracula watch, jump reach-up and freeze,
Busy cheese, don’t you know? caps the breeze.
Bell a cat,...

Whenever he reads a satire
even when not hit on head
his whiskers rise up
and lips tremble with rage
When misfortune visits opponent
he celebrates and bangs chest
wanting to call fire
to come down to finish
work started by ill luck
This is darkness of heart
shaped in actions
of the great but blind...
