NOW WHIZ THE MOMENT TO PREPARE TO SCRUTINIZE
MY WRITTEN ATTEMPT AND HOPE MY OFFERTORY
DISTINCT FROM OTHER GALS N GUYS.
thankful to enjoy genesis of thoughts
from whence doth spring germ
of an idea, that either takes root
(exhibiting potential to live with
arms strong) when just a tender
vulnerable shoot (ephemeral as notes
issuing from a magic flute)
within fifty plus shades of gray matter
per this fifty plus year ole coot?
This need dull in haste tack
search for source that gave rise
per process to enable *****sapiens
to think doth nag horse sense
of this poet as he initially digs shallow,
yet sometimes forced to spelunk
into crawl space narrow and shallow,
or shine laser focus into a chasm
teetering on brink (hunting down
gamesome elusive dodging catlike whims)
out pace readied whorled wide net
to capture alive agile rat fink unseen
quiet as a mouse notion gives hardy fellow
(quite a chase) scurrying thru micro
cosmic burrow of Manhattan skyscrapers
at a blink, said quarry vanishes
without a trace just as quick mental cogs
and wheels generated riveting link
connecting bot sized tinker toys pinging
within cerebral cortex appearing random
as nonsequiturs conscious kinks via
distracting ability to latch onto awesome
fleeting mindspace inducing minor frustration
at lack of ability to nab (albeit painlessly)
zinc shimmering insight cognizant ability
likened to ode to Grecian urn vase frieze
depicting ever closely captured thought
process, cuz lifespan shorter than a wink
king third eye blind comfortably numb beatle browser.
Cats got yo tongue,
catwalks, runs stalks prowls;
Meow!
Catheads catalog catlike people.
Meow, yet they smell cationic;
Cats got yo tongue!
Catlings catmints containments within parsnips;
Catnaper catcher of meow winks;
And does a catfish eat mice;
Cats got yo tongue!
And does a dog walk down a catwalk;
Does a catbird tweet-tweet...
And does a catchup ever get behind;
Do cats wear shoes with their catsuit;
Does a catboat sink or floats;;
Catcall the caterer chatter-chatter-
Cats got yo tongue;
MEOW!

You better not scowl
You better not be fowl
You better not wine
I’m telling you while
Santa Claws is meowing around
He snuggles you when you’re sleeping
She purrs when you’re awake
He sees all things from high in his perch
“So, be good for goodness' sake!”
So, you better pet me
You better make me purr
You best be nice to me
I’m telling you now
Santa Claws is prowling around
He paws at you when he’s ignored
He scratches on the furniture and carpet floors
He’s got deer mice to pull his pillow for a sled
He knows if you’re still up in bed
He’ll lick up any Christmas cream left out for him
And he’ll leave you with the strangest dreams
He may nibble at Mom’s cookies
He’ll prance around your presents with absolute feline presence
He’s been eyeballing the Christmas Tree
Is this a new scratching post for me?
Perhaps with purrfect catlike canter,
Santa Claws will leave a present of his own,
It may be a bit stinky, but it will be from
the bottom of his heart.
- Meowie Christmas!
Of course, my cat's real name is Satan Claws!
Narrow and shallow shining laser focus
into chasm while teetering on brink
akin to scurrying thru microcosmic burrow
of microscopic Manhattan skyscrapers
wink'n nod and blink,
this ace of spades heart (diamond
in the rough) poet digs club billy shallow
sometimes forced to spelunk
thru crawl space chink
hunting down gamesome dodging
catlike whim elusively outpaced,
yet webbed, whorled wide net
nonetheless doth cap cha alive
agile adept idealized rat fink,
which unseen quite quiet mouse notion
gives hardy fellow run for his money,
within scrunched brow mental chase
possibly connected to a preceding pondering
or appearing randomly
viz, non-sequitur conscious kink
said quarry i.e. whimsical thoughts
frequently vanish without a trace
quick as mental cogs and wheels
generate snapchatting, riveting, twittering link
process allowing, enabling, and providing
albeit easily distracting ability
to grasp awesome zinging, lightening,
fleeting brainstorm within windswept
mind space *****sapiens to think
shimmering insight cognizant ability
likening ode on Grecian urn vase
frieze depicting elusive capture
thought process lifespan shorter than a wink
via third eye blind of
comfortably numb beatle browed face
to locate source giving rise
king inducing minor frustration at inability
to nab (albeit painlessly) shimmering zinc
like inception, deception, taking wing
within fifty plus shades swing
and conception of consciousness stir ring
nanobyte size quisling
gray matter housing chromosomal ping
pong pin balling genes summons King
kong of Leon intrigue, jing
gull ling, where disparate
ideas linkedin fling
pollinated neurological network ebbing
and flowing, sans during
writerly blitzkrieg thread ding
provocative point of pinterest bing
proclimation emancipation pensive predilection
to contrive a means and ways
to corral mischievous mental minions
who seem to vanish without a trace
holographic after effect or image evoked
from virtual reality, the latest modality
to pair dime a dozen stray cats re:
untamed cerebral creatures tempting
contemplation to occupy hours.
A lass thus dressed half-brash with gown that touched
The edges of my seeing eye ablush.
This richer wine of green, bedeviled beast —
Yes, all her fault unraveled tongue, my speech.
An inch of time opened the myriad
Of seasons...the best of solar systems —
The creaking door alarming with her eyes.
Divine, this emerald city. I’m lost
Between her thighs (she knows not yet). Those eyes!
Oh lovely catlike eyes - the crescent gems
Beguile this slave. Her gown with chains of green.
Hark all! Look away men...her curls do hiss.
Like a seaman at siren’s call, there’s fear —
But no recall of land nor maiden’s face.
The ghostlike mist of Northern lights, her hem.
I’m stitched just right, a ratchet gear of knees.

Do I make you feel violent and angry?
If so, convince yourself to be hangry.
This face is one that’s dumb to punch.
Your hand would stop in a big crunch.
Catlike reflexes activate warrior mode.
Opponent confidence quick to erode.
Attacking kicks are caught in mid air.
Then painful leg yanking sure to impair.
Surprised attacker swallowing a defeat.
My defensive parry knocks off their feet.
Please underestimate my deft flexibility.
To taste my dodge and counter ability.
Instincts tell if you’re going left or right.
So before trying there’s a will to write.
One wrong move is my enemy’s last.
The punching arm ending up in a cast.
So before coming at me or another guy.
Shocking return strikes can quickly fly.
Remember this rhyme before you try.
Transforming into a target to my eye.
I could be wrong and you decide to begin.
Mistakenly thinking this is a battle to win.
So find out just like the others guys before.
Who woke up after a knockout to the floor.
Wondering what would I do if I was you?
I’d go find something safer instead to do.
Like listen to more of my rhymes like this.
Because a visit to the ER is a trip to miss.
You could read poems like this stuck in bed.
From taking a path nearly ending up dead.
No need to feel pain to make yourself cry.
So make the smart choice and be my ally.
What's the scariest book you ever read?.. Some Stephen King book like "Salem's Lot" or "The Shinning"?
For me its Kate Millett's "Sexual Politics".. Oh, man.. Now THAT will scare you to death if you're female.
I discovered a man, (overheard) at my church, who actually believes his sex a sign of power, and of superiority..
WHY am I so startled? Some childish trust not yet scrubbed off? - Or worse yet some belief, not yet strangled, in a better world?
See, stupid me, I thought this bill had been paid, by sufferance, by real people like Elizabeth Stanton, Carrie Catt and Martin King.. by entire generations who ran through those tangled woods emerging cut and bruised.. if at all.
What is it like for HIM? I see him eying us, his little inferiors who bleed with the moon, with secret, catlike distaste.. regarding female opinions as slightly impure then, with calm, God like grace, granting the form of servant to assume.
Can I, can we, be forced to accept this inheritance? I don't know..
All I know is that this prejudice, so strangely without substance, strikes me like the duelers lucky thrust robing me of attendant rights and wit.. springs that tender trap of doubt in the future and abandons me to stammering.
Mommy and Daddy drove out to get their new baby n a winter storm
They were on the road for an hour because there was ice on the road.
We did not know if we were getting a brother, a sister, or a puppy.
Grandpa had suggested puppy; we were stuck on this idea actually.
They came home from the hospital on a much nicer day.
Daddy was carrying a baby wrapped in a blue and white blanket.
You have a new baby brother, they told us.
My identical twin and I fought over him at first.
Catlike mewing and whining got to me. I decided she could have him.
He had curls and fat cheeks and said funny things when he turned two.
He was the most amazing wonderful creature in the world then.
At three he was getting into our things and messing up our room.
I was ready to trade him for a puppy, snow cone, barrette or a dime.
At five he got his first bike. At twelve, my twin and I got our first bike.
I said it was not fair,, but he was a “boy”, so our father thought it was.
At nineteen I had a new baby; my brother came over a lot to see her.
At eleven, he loved her – carrying her around, feeding her the bottle.
He rode his bike to my house every day in the summer to see her.
This is when I got to know him and got close to him for the first time.
I recognized his sweetness and his giving nature,
and I was proud he was my brother.
Assumption begot,
that cumulative generations
bred tiredness weariness zap
ping ability to remain awake,
nope even enough energy
to feign opening maw mouth
evincing a yap,
and if equipped
with smartphone app viz whatsapp
would shear lee ask ewe
if Androids dream of electric sheep,
but limited options,
asper talking via two lipped gap
reduce modes to communicate
keeping shut tight denture
"FAKE" toothed trap
affixed to gums by (James) bonding agent
necessitating manual finagling -
careful NOT to snap
dentures, thus
leaving garbled speaking
where gum shunned rattletrap
disallowing articulation,
enunciation and pronunciation,
making worthy words
sound like discombobulated pap
hoping to convey tiredness affliction,
sans this poe whim, whereby i map
imagining yielding curling (catlike)
upon ample sized maternal lap
whether gentile,
or Jewish princess i.e. Jap
pan knees, which above
quasi Semitic iteration hap
puns tubby what occurred to me
for no particular rhyme or reason
hoping ya ponied mental effort
to breeze thru my sad dulled verse
with neigh saying horsesense to giddyap
whereupon woebegone
sleepiness could perk me up -
if ye could purchase far me a large frap
pa chin oh otherwise
