Kitten Poems

King of this barn I am said the owl, and he said it in one loud caw.
The other animals began leaving, for they were afraid of the king.
I watched them scatter, as if they had read a proclamation law.
The mice...Read More

As I was driving home one day
    a car pulled out quite quick.
Realizing what they'd done
    I instantly was sick.
Where they had stopped, a cardboard box
    did suddenly appear,
And sticking out...Read More

DOING A DEL BOY 

So, that was it Fred was gone, and the cats and me were skint
Smelly Gran had left a will but; to where there was just no hint

I am now sitting on the back porch, giving it...Read More

Satiny paw pads tap my cheek
and I awake to the tickle of
whiskers upon my nose.
With another morning begun,
a lulling purr produces a giggle
and I open my eyes to my furry friend.

Breakfast is a matter of egg-sharing;
but she prefers a little...Read More

		Summer Place

A song crept into my soul today riding on the summer wind
Then peeked into my summer place closed for many seasons -
Windows shuttered standing on a grassy knoll
Whitewashed in the morning melody at the waters edge -
Waiting - held...Read More

I will turn back the pages of my life to when I was just
a little girl on a bright sunny summer day .  . . 

It was all Teddy Bears idea to take Marmalade outside,
he was just a tiny...Read More

Living a life so utterly blind
In deep recesses of the mind
Male or female who's to say
So fluid in this day and age
One's assimilation is what they claim
No identity is one to shame
So many choices in modern time
Like a kitten don't...Read More

Remember the day
mom, when I was born
it was in a Canadian snow storm
Remember the day
you held me to your heart
and whispered that you loved me
Remember the day
I walked for the very first time
and you said I was a smart girl
Remember...Read More

With my true love I am smitten,
in his dark brown eyes I am lost;
and into a wild journey tossed.

Oh, love I am truly bitten,
I become wrapped in his soul- strength;
for him I will go any length. 

His words make me...Read More

See the sneering of the student,
I think she's angry at the rodent.

She finds it hard to see the kitten,
Overshadowed by her shiny mittens,

Who is that standing near the truck?
I think she'd like to run a muck
.
She is but an exciting...Read More

Where to begin
in the middle of cold and dark
winter's solstice,
healthy green life's time
of impeachment,
excommunication,
dormancy?

Where does this all rightfully
and sacredly left end?

These are expansive gadfly questions,
problems,
issues of complexly dipolar reason,
leftbrain dominant
either-or thinking
we are either thinking or feeling
rather than conscious of both,
and...Read More

To a kitten a shoe's a lethal weapon
   To a toddler, Dad is giant, awesome
To some folks spiders are just plain fearsome
     ~ Others think they're little bugs to step on...Read More

Kitty shouldn’t keep the kitten Kitty couldn’t keep, 
But Kitty would’ve kept the kitten pity shouldn’t reap.
If Kitty would’ve kept the kitten, Kitty wouldn’t weep, 
And Kitty would’ve kept the kitten Kitty would upkeep.

I am writing letters home,
And will enclose in each a poem.
Here is my selection
For my verse connection.

I think for Maybelline
My best Alexandrine,
Six syllables per line,
That I'll polish till they shine.

Something different for Fritz,
I am sending him a Blitz,
I've not written...Read More

a house with the bottom up
thrown clothes, clutter, books everywhere
manuscripts, invoices
pencils, drawing boards

no guests
no holiday tables
just a shadow of last year

I went out and watched the fireworks
the most beautiful fireworks in my life
they were ordered in writing games
new games
in dazzling...Read More

Divorced - tossed aside
your kittens dragged along for the ride


you've let yourself go-gained some weight
a little depressed
seeing a couple of shrinks
they paint so slowly-such pretty things
for a hundred bucks an hour.
you bought a bike -matching running suit
five diet books, your...Read More

Shoot, girl ...
          You spin my synapses like a sugar rush
                    The...Read More

Beneath the tall and sparkling Christmas Tree,
are presents wrapped and stacked in neat array-
a picture-perfect holiday bouquet,
with graceful boughs outstretching equally.
Yet, here among the gifts, placed centrally,
the largest one stands out in full display-
red satin bow on gold, as if...Read More

   ~ CONFUSED MALE CANARY ~

  There once was a confused male canary
  Who fancied himself a real cute faerie
     He found a male friend
     Peered in his...Read More

Their origins were wrong 
Always have been ,  always will be :

They have beginnings we’d rather not think of 
Beginnings that make lunatics weep
Want to hold them until it goes 
Knowing not how ,  but that it never...Read More

     Garden Party at Noon

     Fragrance of jasmine alluring butterfly in spree.
       Sweet scent of gardenia whelming bumble bee.

See the cuddling of the fashion
I think she's angry at the passion
she finds it hard to see her socks 
Overshadowed by her grand locks 

Who is that one necking at her throat 
Remove the collar, what's underneath her coat 
She...Read More
