Chipmunk Poems

A face of age, a septuagenarian that magically reverts to my twenties when I turn away from the mirror. 

My hair of silver does what it pleases to cover my face. I can't move one side of my face, a...Read More

I peer at myself in the mirror.
My forehead is nice though I like it covered with bangs.
Lines there are to be expected,
and so too, the crows’ feet at my eyes.
At the base of my forehead are dark brown brows.
They are...Read More

felony figs feigning
pulpy punctured probity
mystic mist moaning
purpled eyes receding
damped desire drooping
salient severity scrunching

two temerarious Varmints -
callous ensconced embroidery
skins sans salmagundi

lusty leery lurching -
atuned atmosphere aiding
cranky coup clustering

chaetophorous Chipmunk saw,
pronto pram's metamorphose.

The Cat Waits

By the light of the moon 
The cat waits until dark 
To catch his small prey 
Maybe a chipmunk or lark....Read More

The walnuts and peanuts
Both squirrels and birds 
Enjoy these different nuts
Chipmunks eat both nuts
There is always a battle 
for food

Squirrels chase the birds away
There is always a battle for food
The squirrels eat both nuts 
Blue jays eat the walnuts
Now the...Read More

A ping of appearance,
while the world skids on.

I expect Wiley Coyote to turn up,
but it is only chipmunk,
a little mousy hot-rod, tuned-up
to outrun perception.

Yours is the trembling electric instant;
truly you are a light unto yourself.
Murine wisp with whiskers,
always thrilled by...Read More

Will they remember the times I spent in the car waiting
Or the days I spent on park benches watching
Keeping them safe?

Will they remember the shrieking, angry,
Mean, savage times I turned into a mommy monster
Yelling out of frustration?

Will they remember the...Read More

Once upon a bright Autumn day
Traipsing along a wooded way
Sunlight dancing through maple limbs
As gentle wind makes them to sway

Rustic red leaves scamper and skim
Along the pathways outer rim
Causing the trail to seem ablaze
Pausing I hear a sparrow’s hymn 

Pebbles...Read More

I meander the winding pebble path
where the bumbles bounce . . . 
holding back my sorrow and wrath,
for my beloved lay in eternal peace;
among bird songs that never cease.

A place of tears and grief alive with life,
oh, still I feel...Read More

Autumn 


Foliage on the trees
Red fire adorn the leaves
Bloody berries on display
Acorn and pine cones in disarray 
Squirrel and chipmunk stuff their cheeks
As they’ll  hibernate for weeks
A toasty, sweet and spicy fume
Warm aroma fill the room
Lemongrass ,ginger ,star anise...Read More

They are dug in under the screen door
where my foot swings, where concrete crumbles.

Fat and fuzzy the bees scurry as heavy as baby mice.
They share an apartment with a chipmunk,
and a long amber centipede
that sometimes emerges
to ripple-wave at something only...Read More

childhood memory
in a country field of gold- 
birds chase me away

childhood memory
of lush emerald green ferns-
frogs leap and I run

childhood memory
of sweet coolness in the woods-
flies chase me away

childhood memory
and fields of yellow daisies-
bees buzzing wildly

childhood memory
of soft pink roses...Read More

A chipmunk fell under my spell today.
I am magnificent, so of course, it was not totally unexpected,
plus chipmunks have always been attracted to me.

She immediately recognized me as a mystical, magical, Komodo dragon, 
and she wanted to tell her relatives,...Read More

They only have a few ingredients…peanut butter, a cake mix…oh…and chocolate chips

Matthew Scott, Whar Art Thou Spunk?

Nobody, but yours truly

(whereat no universal solvent,

Early one morn the sun did sink
   in the west as the moon arose
And Farmer Jones inspected his rose
   of purple corn, which began to dance
Shedding sheaves, donning pants...

While in the barn, the cow was neighing

Every day I run really fast….
From the lovely green grass,
To the biggest oak tree.
Happy just like a two year old child….
With my bushy tail behind me.
I’m sneaky and I’m adorable!
Why would you want to shoot at me or hunt me?
That’s...Read More

The fox was walking around looking for food when he came across a rabbit. He was getting ready to pounce when the rabbit began to cry. The fox feeling sympathy asked that rabbit why he was sad. The rabbit told...Read More

Tiny chipmunks play; chasing all day
One another through my gutters.
Fur balls of joy, Chip and Dale;
Melting my heart and soul;
Is a chipmunk’s goal.
They feel my joy;
Elation;
When they
Play....Read More

I dreamed of being a hunter
But nothing as big as a bear
Starting off with a small creature
Maybe, that chipmunk over there

Suddenly some guy yelled, "AL......VIN!!"
And about scared me half to death
I asked, "Why did you yell so loud?"
Once I had...Read More

You look stupid in videos on phones at the start,
you don't look like "Badmans" calling women a tart,
when I see those skits I think what a retard,
and don't you know we all skip over that part.

I don't rap with accents...Read More
