Best Yowled Poems

One day I delivered a poem
one that seemed to be premature
so I swaddled her up
and set her aside
to grow 'til I felt reassured

How she yowled and howled for attention...
how she cried so piteously!
How she coughed and she sneezed
whimpered and wheezed
then threw up all over me!

Still...

Green eggs, Spam and grits
Sam and Pam had their fill,
Then made their way to Main Street
Down WhoDat’s Whatsup Hill.

Waived "Hi!" to their neighbors
To show them that they cared.
All smiled except two who
Just stood there and glared.

Hulu Q Hopps and
His shorter half-brother
They came from two pops...

State Championship on the line.
Today I have been shooting just fine.
When I got the ball I yowled.
“The defender on me has just fouled”.
Two free throws just for me.
Will I make them?  We will see.
The first one bounces up and in.
Just one more and we...

Hank was a hard workin' cowpoke who really earned his meager pay.
He rode his ass Old Red from early dawn 'til at night he hit the hay,
Fixin' fences, ropin' steers and brandin' dogies in the old corral,
But he had an odd addiction that gnawed on...

Almost always, as additional allurements arrive, ask as a Being...
 By better borne behests become best Causes ?
  Can causes create concise concepts Diligently ?
   Do doers do decidedly dumb doldrums Ever ?
    Each eek echoes egotistical efforts enduring...

Merlin the cranky cat
sat around getting fat.
Wanting to be heard
he mewed and purred. 

He yowled and howled
and even growled
all with the same result.
He felt it quite the insult.

He snarled and hissed
What had he missed?
He tried a mewl
and lost his cool.

Short of a caterwaul
what should he...

Mama Mable made music mellow with mood
But baby boy Bradley bellowed and booed
So sensitively she started singing sweetly
Yet the youngster yowled yearningly

Poor perplexed papa peered and pleaded
“No nocturnal nuisances are needed,”
He hurried through the house, his hefty frame hobbled
Baby boy Bradley basked blissfully with his...

Yes, believe me you, 
I (also considered the best karaoke singer

Unusual thing:  a Sickness lived in There…
(The Place I spent Walpurgis Night – O, Fool!)
The kids said something rotten in the air
Infected all who’d lived there – some would drool

And some who seemed all right grew violent,
And Something Dead lived in the backyard pool…
…at...

a murdering cat
yowled in the middle of night
he gave me a fright

it sounds like a growl
could it have been a raccoon
I hide under my bed

a fight now for sure
I begin to shake in fright
animals scare me...

Smokey was a lovely cat.
He was a big black Persian,
And Mama had a lady friend,
Who was a not nice person.

She lived across the way from us,
And envied everyone.
Whatever nice things that they had,
Were hers when day was done.

She'd find a way to get it,
A way...

The squirrel shrugged
A passing bunny shook its head
A stray cat yowled

i'm in bed
each thump of the dart 
hitting the cork
in the darkness
my heart quickens
and death envelopes.
time and waiting for dawn

suddenly the ear buds disconnect
there is a thud
another one
then another

my wife is disturbed by the racket
the announcement yowled of '180' wakes her
galaxative

Mama said, “I mean it! I don’t want to come home to find you dead!”
