Polly Pure PaintPolly Pure Paint was a painter cat with rainbow eyes.
She loved acrylics and watercolors, she had so many supplies.
Her studio was full of glitter paints and copper cogs and wheels too.
She had a steampunk side, that embodied her art through and through....

where are the cat printspolka dot curtains in the form of dotted swiss
light and airy, fuzzy and bumpy, minute and white
polka dotted pillows in reds, blues and oranges
unusual in grandma’s house; everything here usually has a dog on it
She has a dog-print couch, dog-paw-print carpeting,
dog apron, dog dishtowel, dog toilet paper holder.
Maybe this is her idea of branching out?

The Kill
It's to be expected
this time of year, mid Winter,
a merciless wind straight
off the bay blowing
leaves left over from Autumn,
lifting them like dead prey
flicked up by the claws
of a cat reliving the kill
in its remorseless play.
...

Breed ViatorEco-anxiety over the big cats,
I am in fear of an empty space.
Sitting on top of the food chain
in their absence balance is off.
Every day they slowly decline,
eco-anxiety over the big cats.
Panic is no longer dwindling,
increasing as numbers shrink.
The racing pulse of a lush forest
every creature is a part of it.
Eco-anxiety...

Ginger CatI have this little Ginger Cat.
Lord knows what he sees
in me! – cutest adoring eyes
I don’t deserve; purrs in
reserve, as he settles to cuddle
and be stroked.
All I do is feed him, a bowl of
fresh water couple times a day --
box of clay for his business – but,
I could almost...

dogs hide under the slide with a ball and a bat
they have fur coats, my husband says in their defense
we are all sleeping heartily, none of us tense...

Good Night Sweet KittyGood night, sweet kitty.
It is time for us to sleep.
The moon is out, the day is done,
It's time for us to dream.
What is that crash, oh furry one?
You say you see a bug?
I've looked and looked, nothing is there,
Are you sure it wasn't a dream?
I'm startled awake by an apparition,
a screech, a snarl, a scream
A...

Hats and CatsThere was a man with many hats,
that lived in a house with many cats.
When he went outside,
the cats stayed inside.
Hat choosing was driving him bats.
One cat said, “he will be gone for the day.”
Another one said, “with his hats we shall play.”
A hat for each cat,
no one to say scat.
When he gets home the cats...

Feline ConfessionsI confess...
I'm a cat in
a human body
surrounded by
drooling
deluded dogs
I confess...
I spew doggerel
in a poetic
wasteland
as the wolves
claw their
verses
on electronic pages
and howl at
their unamused
muses
I confess...
I hide under a table
or
climb up a tree
as the dogs of war
merrily pant
while
mauling the world
I confess...
I'm guilty of living
in the wrong
country
on the wrong
planet
at the wrong
time
but will
soon exhaust
my nine lives
and...

And The Cat Crept In
Motion-activated caught on camera
while cookies for the kids I was cooking
a collared cat crept into the kitchen
when I stepped outside and wasn't looking
his potty break was well-timed
as, sadly, I'd left the door unlocked
onto the counter by the sink he climbed
bared his butt and crapped in the crock
tho' he gave new meaning
to vanilla chocolate chip
if I...
