A Night Cap B4 a Cat Nap
It's been such a purrrrfect day.
it's fun to play.
I love sugarplum wishes.
to try to catch fishes.
violet visions.
hard to make decisions,
play with the dog's tail,
or eat that slow old snail.
Persian promise is a beauty.
the Siamese is a bit snooty.
caramel cuddles.
playing in puddles.
peppermint frost,
almost got lost!
out in the snow.
a soft meow, ever so low.
cozy fireplace.
with lavender

Another Feather In My Cap
By day, I followed her around and watched her every move, for she was bigger than life itself. But when the sun went down, she would change into her uniform and go out into the summer evening. Busing it she'd go to the local factory and work on an assembly line. They made confectionery sweets

Manners Maketh Man
The premise goes everyone knows
before entering the premises
while still outside yet on the mat
it's no gentleman who forgets
to doff his cap or remove his hat
if dining out or at a private party
for a particular person
it's impolite at most
to sip slurp or slink a drink
before the toast to a hospitable host
and when beside the table laden
confronted

Words
Words: Use the following words in a poem. Pretzels, shout, threshold, pine, now, sulfur, ladybug, percolate, cap and lamp
Let’s give a shout out
to the one who eats hot
salty soft pretzels.
Who holds a pine scented
lamp that sputters and flares
in the darkest night.
While they watch gooey
black tar percolate from
the bowls of the earth.
A cautious ladybug creeps
across the

Would You, Little Red-Cap?
Little Red-Cap, I can see
no wolf would ever bother thee.
You'd not buy the masquerade
of his best laid plans, misplayed.
As I'm not the lupine brand,
would you gently take my hand?

Cap A Pie
Cap a pie, steady as she goes,
walk tighter than a dollar bill;
When life’s banana peel arose?
Cap a pie, steady as she goes;
Shuddery prose she will compose,
Jenga tower of dreams, be still!
Cap a pie, steady as she goes,
walk tighter than a dollar bill.

Is it pandering?
Is it pandering?
Will camo hat with name do them any good?
Next will be the dead deer draped across the hood.

I just thought of something stupid. Deer can't read.

Sunday Thinking Cap
I wore my thoughts on my head like a ball cap today
Ready to take off and disregard
or to turn around, tilted in the opposite direction
Easy to grab at, to throw away, to steal,
to sneakily hide a lost trinket underneath.
I am unbalanced like a scale
trying to measure dancers
as they prance about unwavering to any schedule or

Cap
Yea, I'll say,
My crown wore a dream:
That, someday,
I'd be found as king;
Preparing to cater,
In sympathy,
Let each waiter,
Be friends with me –

Bottle Cap
I've given it thought
I've tried reading your heart
It never worked
cause you made me wanna kill my art.
What am I doing?
Maybe I should just leave myself alone
and bite my bones
What am I saying?
Bloody sheets and a bloody bed
It's just me dead silent in my head.
I wanna kill you but I

Bottle Cap In the Sand
Bottle cap in the sand.
forsaken barren beach.
Towel colors once grand
diminished by sun’s bleach.
Tropical paradise
long left barren by man.
Hurricane a surprise,
deserted without plan.
Collapsed plastic beach balls
strewn among the seaweeds.
Once bright the eye recalls,
but now the sight recedes.
Hibiscus trees deflexed,
entwined with pale, pinched palms.
Verdant life springs forth vexed.
The damaged, begging alms.
Flora and fauna rise;
slow repristination.
Beach in rousing

The Gardner With the Army Cap
Across my street with sidewalks
shaded by fluttering oak trees,
there's a gardener with the army cap...
while rascals laugh and play nasty rap;
how well tends to his garden without weeds,
how glad he is when neighbors clap,
and he works serenely in this noiseless haven!
Then, Sterlings with colorful wings swap down
to steal his lavenders, he chases them away
with

Lamb Loved Her New Swim Cap
It is not that Lamb did not like her new flowered swim cap.
She loved it, and it fit her, making her feel snappity snap.
But the rest of the lambs were bleating about it in mean ways.
Don’t worry, said her friend Lucy, it gives your face a raise!
It is chic and sleek, and the petals are

Polycarp and Baseball Cap
I've just spoken with Polycarp
About his bright red baseball cap
I'd swear is his main handicap:
His wish to keep wearing the cap
While to Tennis Ball he is Pap
And equally does football 'tap';
His donning of a baseball cap
A conflict and misguiding map
You rely on and your strength sap,
Because of the capital gap
Between him and a baseball
