Crafty little friend of mine
He’d stay for a minute and watch the sun. Then disappear like the wind… and then there was none!
He’d follow my footsteps in the snow.
He’d watch me off to work in the car go.
He’d be around at breakfast and tea time and would always get fed.
He’d patrol n the nighttime when we were in bed.

my quill found its soul
it danced on the parchment floor ~
all six sensed its life
... I sense a sharing
one of sincere gratitude ~
gift lift ~ spills my soul
I live when faced down
craft flows a course on parched reeds ~
ink spots ... your presence

crafty christine
Crafty Christine has a magical way with a sewing machine
She is also great with crafts, she may be the queen
She puts things together in a fun, fine way.
Recipients of her gifts say “hip hip hooray!”
She can take old denim and make aprons that glow.
With hems of silver, they put on a fine show.
Her quilts are

It's A Crafty Work!
Poetry is so very special
it has such an illuminating effect
grabbing one's heart so clear
inspiring one to fully select
It's craft leaves many options
indeed one can adopt various styles
so much scope to experiment
for the pen to flow many a mile
I write for the purpose of calm
leaving all my anxieties behind
becoming very therapeutic inwardly
makes my inner soul feel

Crafty Maneuver
The house cat unlatched the cage door;
Squeezed in to then find he's done for.
A quick turn-about
Canary flew out!
Cat's stuck, and bird's free to explore!

The Wiles of the Crafty Serpent - Genesis 3: 1-5
The Lord God made so many animals
but the serpent was so very clever
asking 'did God really say' casting doubt
making Eve think well did I ever
But Eve was confused so very much
the serpent had her under his control
though she thought any fruit could be eaten
but the serpent thought this is a stroll
Now Satan sought to play

Critterature: Concerning the Crafty Crayfish
By many aliases they're known:
Crawfish, crawdads, mudbugs, yabbies.
They abound in brooks, and streams, and swamps,
As well as roadside ditches and rice paddies.
Their astacology has shown
They prey like scavengers and mobsters,
While some, more taxonomically aloof,
Try hard to pass as mountain lobsters.
Throughout the world as food they're meant,
Both from the wild and from the grocer,
But not as

Crafty Leprechaun
The leprechaun was crafty and cold
When it came to hiding his gold
But another watch to see
He was as crafty, as he
The gold was stole, and the man turned old

Dogs Play Pool With a Crafty Cat
A bulldog, spaniel and terrier played a game of pool.
Relieving me of my money and kibble. I felt like a fool.
They saw my T-bone and started to be salivating a drool.
I offered to trade them for the kibble, trick kind of cruel.
The T-bone had been enchanted by a devilish ghoul.
Never trust a Maine coon cat

Strikingly Crafty Logomaniac Presents
Strikingly crafty logomaniac presents...
what else... his trademark blatherskite!
While sprawled comfortably
numb upon davenport
Iowa daily dose of poetic mishmash,
thus yours truly couches, kneads, sports...

swiftly styled balderdash
noah intent to kindle
potential ark enemy, nor abash
please pardon your

preparing himself for backlash

his logorrhea affliction begets
meaningless rot i.e. namely ishkabibble,

Crafty Lawyer
Downtown there once was a crafty lawyer
Egged his clients to be straight-faced liar
Facing the judge they fumbled
Grilled, façade of lies crumbled
He lost all cases, made money each year.

Crafty Thieves
Do you know anything about the various
Time pieces that are on different lengths
Of thin chain dangling from the forest trees?
Are you or some one you know missing a
Time piece?
Did people actually abandon these things?
Were they stolen or did they become a
Payment to some unknown wing Banshee
To ward off an unexpected catastrophe.
Where are the

Yesterday, I Was Told By a Crafty Fortuneteller
Yesterday, I was told by a crafty fortuneteller,
That I will not have sex for two years in the row.
I immediately proved, right there on her table,
That she was completely, in this matter, wrong!

A Crafty Invitation
A Crafty invitation
Cut him open, just go nuts
Reach inside and pull out his guts
Cut out his eyes, cut out his nose
Work your way down as you go
Use a little ingenuity
And cut him good for all to see
Don’t be afraid to make a mess
Join the pumpkin carving contest
