Bonfire night.
Bonfire night. Oh what a fright.
A thousand explosions in the moonlit night.
The blackened sky lit up with little lights,
Like a Christmas tree, on November 5.
Guys with forks and knives eating burgers and fries
And hot dogs with the gals in front of the fire.
Let’s all get warm on this cold dark night;
Sparklers illuminate the faces of the laughing child.
Playing with fire is dangerous, so wear gloves on your hands,
In case the sparks burn you, but they won’t if you are careful and plan.
Each firework should be lit by an adult, not a child;
Because only adults are sensible enough to be that close to a fire.
Fire is dangerous and so are fireworks too;
So sit back and relax and watch the sky like I do.
Explosions of colour flicker in the night sky,
Painting pictures for us all on the blackboard in front of our eyes.
Bang! And Boom! Shout the scary fireworks up above,
As they scare the animals (The cats and the dogs).
So stay safe on Bonfire night and be with your family,
So you too can see the pretty colours that we all can see.
Light up the black sky on this starry, starry night
And sleep peacefully in your beds, without any frights.
The fireworks bang and scare the scary things away,
So we can all sleep peacefully in our beds,
Looking forward to Christmas day.

SPOTLIGHT
the media circus has begun
the grins bloviated like Seussical cats
i swear they are jumping up and down
exercising their cataracts and bulbs
they wouldn’t want to miss out
on one verbose moment
the unholy lack of humbleness
will trip a wire
fling the media into what they aspire
but God looks elsewhere for fame
remember the dame
who put her red cent
unseen
into the poor’s treasury
God shone a huge spotlight
where dust
prevailed
i bet that coin is in heaven’s museum
above the King’s throne
proud with buttons popping off
in a frame with the lady’s name

My brother has a mountain lion
Prowling near his street,
A cat that on a morning walk
You wouldn’t want to meet.
He lives up in the mountains, though,
So people understand
That animals like that will roam
All over on that land.
My son received a police alert
A bobcat has been seen
In his suburban neighborhood
Where bobcats don’t convene.
The warning said to check that your
Garage door’s not ajar
Or you may find a huge surprise
When climbing in your car.
It’s strange my son and brother
In such different habitats
Have been linked by sudden sightings
Of these most unwelcome cats.
I was not the party, but I was the listener at the party
Steady streams of people sat to tell their stories
Not only at parties, but on street corners and buses.
I was a pied piper, drawing them in.
It was not my initial plan, but it happened.
Waitresses told me to scoot over.
They sat in our booth and told me all about it.
It used to drive my husband and children nuts.
I was not aiming to become a pied piper.
It happened gradually; animals sought me out also.
Not only dogs, cats and birds, but raccoons and opossums.
I have those hazel eyes that say “I care”.
I don’t mean to lure everything to me,
But they gravitate to me and tell me their stories.
I wait until they leave to write them down
Into poems and songs.
Today is not a nice day.
The weatherman says they will be more rainy days
Outside it is very cloudy and gray
And the suns hiding away.
Some times this weather is hard to bear
But it is not very strange to have this here
We usually obtain lots and lots of storms and rain
Especially when the hot and long summer days begin.
The rain keeps pouring hard outside
It's raining like dogs and cats
The day is sombered gloomy and hot
And rivulets of water fills every nook and spot.
Most showers can be a blessing kind of sublime
But not so, when it rains so much all the time
Oh no! I've just seen it! Another lightining seems to had split the sky
Open and the sounds of thunders are still frightening to me.
I'm just praying that tomorrow is a whole brand new day!
Hoping the sun comes out of its hiding place and brightens everything in
Then there won't be no more storms and thunders peeking thru the blue sky
It would be so nice to have no more showers and rains at least for a while again.
Meanwhile the rain persists today and still falls down my face
I'll have to wait till tomorrow to see what kind of weather takes place
If the day will be still rainy or if it will just turn into a nice and fair day
Well, let's see what happens! All this rain may stop all of sudden later on today!

April 7 Watching Cats Hunt
Early morning
Watching two white cats
Hunting a white dove
The cats hunt in pairs
Tracking the bird
The bird flies away
Safe for now
And I think about the cats
And the hunt goes on
Such is life
And the fate of cats
And birds
April 19 Cats
Cats
I often wonder about Cats
What do they think of us
It seems at time
That cats think of humans
As their slaves
We exist to feed them
To comfort them
To save them from their enemies
And to worship them
Yes, cats are an alien species
Totally different from humanity
Detached, and almost evil
If we ever encounter an alien civilization
God help us if it’s a cat based civilization
We would then be engaged
In the epic mother of all wars
As cats and humans would not get along
The cats would think we were their slaves
And we would resent and fear them
And secretly worship their alien ways
"Clearly, animals know more than we think, and think a great deal more than we know." - Irene M. Pepperberg
I have often pondered if animals or our pets can tell time
Mine seem to know when my alarm clock is ready to chime
If I am not awake and out of bed by six AM in the morning
The meows and whimpers begin as if they are scorning
My pets are rigid and adhere to their feeding demands
If ignored, the bed will be where my cats will soon crash- land
Purring loudly as their furry faces and whiskers tickle mine
Soon it will turn into some tongue licks, little bites and whines
My dog then comes charging into the room with his ears flapping about
He’ll stand at the bed and pant as his smile soon turns into a pout
The same thing happens when it’s their time to eat at night
They become disruptive by scratching and jumping, oh what a sight
The dog seems to know when it’s later at night and his time to go out
And can sense when the time is close to eight PM, without a doubt
He gets a reward for taking his night meds and going out before bed
He knows when he comes in, he’ll get a biscuit or two snacks to be fed
I have pondered this for many years as animals are very smart
Is it their routine or does the time on the clock alert them to start
I wish they could answer this question and had the ability to talk
But I think if we could hear their words, we might be in shock
There's an old woman that lives in a house full of cats;
they're all so lovable and fat, they will steal your heart.
Forever playing about the house with a stuffed mouse,
she is known as the Craz Cat Woman that's lost her cart.
In love with her cats; they're always close and under foot,
meow, meow, and purr sounds expressing contentment.
Treated as spoiled young, let them have the run of the house,
wishing for coziness, hoping for noise abatement.
Hounds heard outside the window, they stir in excitement,
however, at night at ease they dream of birds and mice.
You can bet that round her house, there's not even a mouse;
never allowed out, at times forget to playing nice.
With a loving smile and tenderhearted affection,
they all starving for her attention, she brings caring
satisfaction; they are so many and still counting,
a world of ecstasy, she is willing and sharing.

Poetry Contest: Cat Poems'
Sponsored By: Tania Kitchin
I am a cute little pussy cat
I love to lie on my mama’s cot
I always chase the ugly rat
That comes to gnaw at my master’s hat
I wear a striped coat of fur
When I relax, my tail I stir
You know it is milk, I prefer
You can hear me sing a refrain- ‘purr’?
On my face I have pointed whiskers
But nothing as those of the tuskers
Sharp are my ears, that I catch all whispers
I have claws as piercing as pincers
Everywhere I freely wander
When I am at rest I always ponder
When pulled down from the border
I land on my legs, a real wonder
By nature I am very cool
But don’t take me to be a fool
Some see me as a ball of wool
Fish often makes my mouth drool
I am everybody’s darling pet
Those who see me give a gentle pat
None can hate me, I shall bet
At night I wander like a bat
I have a pair of gleaming eyes
They are of the shade of blue skies
When I meow, each rat in terror flies
Among cats and mice, there’s no compromise

Alone Together
Now I know
What our years will be like,
Down the road
When we are truly old
And no one comes around much anymore.
It will be very quiet
We will live in other rooms, mostly
Reading our books,
Stroking our cats.
But we will drift past one another
In our comings and goings,
There will be frequent touchings, and laughter
The sharing of many small,
Meaningful things
Our shared life has sown together
Down these many years.
We will have little,
But that little will be gold,
Gold silently glittering
Through the moments ticking down
We will derive our greatest pleasures
From the simplest of things,
A skill we lost when we left our childhoods.
So let them laugh, if they will,
At our simplicity.
The decades we devoted to one another
Speak for themselves.
We shall lie down together,
Whenever we will,
And stay so 'til we decide
To move into another day.
Each other's warmth will be the supreme comfort
Until the end.
Glasses of wine,
Some noble thoughts,
Amusement at our former selves
Unspoken awe at what we are becoming;
Our life has been an honor to us both
- Though more to me,
Because I know I don't deserve you.
But here we are,
With all our flaws and glories,
And I thank the Universe,
In it's blind magnificence,
For giving me you.
Let us live,
Let us sleep,
Let us dream,
Let us love
To the end of our days,
And know this -
You are my one and only love,
Now, and forever.
Let us join hands,
Face the future, unafraid,
And smile.
