Critter Poems - Poems about Critter

BYE-BYE FLY

A fly flew through the kitchen window, I was frying,
He was big, fat and very black,
He nonchalantly settled on the drying rack,
No doubt had followed the aroma of food, uninvited prying,
With tea towel and fly swatter, was armed and eyeing.

Flew closer to the gas burner, unafraid of dying,
Both of us ready for deadly battle,
He would

Critter Caper

Let’s go said the crow
Not now said the cow
But when said the hen
Don’t know said the doe
Hey look said the rook
Big truck said the duck
Go peep said the sheep
Not me said the bee

We’re there said the bear
Where’s there said the hare
Who’s we said the flea
We few said the shrew
No juice said the goose
Need gas said

The Spider Returns

All Hallows Eve regardless
Not Easter or birthdays
Tenacity of critters
Got me swirling in a haze

They get into the bathtub
The sink or in the car
Lord knows just where they come from
But they haven't traversed far

So often I must rescue 
Whether delicate or tall 
Re-house them to the log-pile
As they can't ascend the wall

In shameless eight-legged tap dance
They

Such a Clumsy Critter

While watching my babysitter
Playing with glitter,
I fell into the kitty litter! --
I am such a clumsy critter.

My brother will twitter
Our babysitter is covered in glitter
She is such a kidder,
But, I fell into the kitty litter!
I am such a clumsy critter.

My kitty has five kitties in her litter
They were watching my babysitter
Playing with glitter,
When I fell

Cancer Critter

Cancer Critter runs rampant
It wanders our earth and kills
Still unable to erase it completely 
Not sure we ever will?

Cancer Critter can be deadly 
If bitten you are seriously unwell
Symptoms are often silent
Often no way to tell

If you or someone you love are bitten
It’s a frightening time for sure
Your mind completely overwhelmed
With fear, uncertainties, questions galore

The No-Chicken Critter

Six sick skunks of one stinking litter
get startled by a fox; five of the six sick skunks scamper.
But one of the six sick skunk siblings is no quitter.
In spite of the fact he is the littlest,
there's not one thing that will this small sick skunk hamper.
A skirmish with the frisky shifty fox he starts.
Just one

Critter Snow Prints

What was it that ravaged last night’s lovely blanket of snow?  Something with three toes on one foot and missing one of its very large nails.  My god, the size of those back paws!  A black bear, no doubt; a midnight, black hole in space, black bear; checking out my trash bin

The Critter Cascade

I was walking down a Vermont road
to stretch my legs and blow off stress,
stone walls flanked the hard, brown dirt,
half-obscured by dead leaves and grass.

When a fast rustling caught my ear,
I turned my eyes left to see,
exploding over the rock wall
came a flustered, frantic turkey.

He sprinted hard on spindly legs,
and it noud gulps gasped for

A Loathsome Critter

The pantoum’s a loathsome critter
Pantoums missed out on getting class
they’re so twisted up and bitter
each one knows its first will be its last

Pantoums missed out on getting class
you can tell Pantoums lack feeling.
Each one knows its first will be its last
they’re so very unappealing

You can tell Pantoums lack feeling
and they don’t have too much glitter.
They’re

Hungry Critter

While camping up high in the trees
I woke up one “mourning” to pee
Thought that I heard a “bare”
But it was only a “hair”
Who was eating my breakfast with tea.

Old Jake the Critter Lover-A Parody

Old Jake lived a mile or so below the falls.
He wasn’t  a hermit, or any other sect or sort.
He was just an old man; though always alone.
Well, except for the critters.
They were not remarkable, just - - -many
and they all adored old Jake.
He didn’t even have to feed them.
Only gave them what they needed

Critter Crunch,A Celebrities Lunch

Pop a critter in your mouth,
Its all you get for lunch.
A big juicy bug
on which you have to munch.
You know you really wanna
take a nice big bite,
if you do it fast enough,
then the bug wont fight.
Wash it down
with some fluid
that really looks quite vile,
After that,
you wont want to eat
for really quite a while.

Critter Alarm Tanka

carried them away
gripped ...... between her teeth was how
she has moved her cubs.....
safer place..... away from harm.....
she knows....when danger lurks near

nose sniffing the air ...
the scent of a male is close.....
he will kill the cubs ......
so he can have his wicked way ...
even if they are his own....

She hides them away ....
not a whimper must

Masked Bandit-Critter Tanka

he comes in moonlight
prowling the neighborhood
looking for dinner
stopping by to check the cat's bowl
watching me through the window

Instinctive Critter

Stalking,.....waits awhile

She inhales the woodland airs.....

Animals beware......

Nose to tail the vixen stares.......

Fixated,....... her prey beguiles.....
