Long Goldfish bowl Poems

Once again it’s Saturday; the day when footy reigns supreme.
The Dogs are up against the Cats, the premier favoured team,
but I’ve got no doubts the mighty Dogs will surely cope with that.
I couldn’t think of...

1) Pick up the cat and cradle it in the crook of your arm as if holding a baby. Position forefinger and thumb on either side of the cat's mouth and gently apply pressure to...

In life we will never meet the forest
only an occasional tree.
We will never meet the wonders beneath the sea
though some will observe the waves above.
 
 This world is far too big for one life...

Hello, I am a praying mantis from the tropics,
a killer really, once I bit off the head of my lover;
and then I ate him, yummy and then I was caught,
I ended up in a pet...

I think you would have found sociology agreeable.

The chapters jump right into the heart of the matter and do not cause you to stray wondering--spelled with an 'o' not an 'a'--as 'stray' would have clued...

It breaks my heart to see the sight.
Whilst feeling for the homeless plight.
It's sad to see in every town.
With doorways full, whilst bedding down.

While vloggers vlogging have no soul.
A life inside the goldfish bowl.
We watch...

Far far away
Solitary existence;
Lakeside pagoda

~~~~~~~~~


August going away
Bumper harvest;
Mangosteens and durians

~~~~~~~~~


Because she loves me
Moving commentary;
Grumbles at something

~~~~~~~~~


Garden snail
Crawling at my feet;
Doing your rounds

~~~~~~~~~


Show flat visit
Buying a new house;
Location fits budget

~~~~~~~~~


Lovely moonrise
Sends me messages;
Love forgets pain

Feverish flu...

That goldfish bowl......... 
Wedged on my head, 
did nothing instead 
Just left an almighty hole, 
where I dropped,like a piece of lead 
(Not a piece of eight!) 
Is it me? 

Well, never mind 
Lets see...

Was cleaning my goldfish bowl
in the bathroom one day,
put "Goldie" in the bathroom
sink temporarily to play,

Tried to hurry so I could
put her back in the bowl,
when unknowingly she leapt 
like a dolphin into the commode,

Meantime,...

She stood there just staring
Staring endlessly at his BIG GOOGLY EYES
He was her best friend and they were worlds apart 
Separated by glass and about 20 ounces of crystal clear water
She stood there pondering what...

The Goldfish Bowl


Once injected with water, sorrow becomes colorless and tasteless
Inside the glass bowl, all lives
only live seven seconds

The same route, again and again --
The beginning is the end. Stubborn as Sisyphus

Eyes watered and drifted...

Satisfied cat can sleep at the drop of a hat.
She can squeeze herself into those, this and that.
We find her asleep this morning in a goldfish bowl.
She is snoring away, like a fisherman without a...

pond haiku ponder
coping with isolation
as an oasis

pond still, mirroring
dark clouds in the sky above
foreboding forecast

ripples radiate
out to the edge of the pond
bounce reverberate

surface waves ripple
images of trees on pond
ghostly wind revealed

the pond an island
in an...

Captain Mumblebury
He is no dumbo
A UFO pilot from
The planet Mumbo
 
A little known planet
Shaped like a spoon
Just turn left
When you get to the moon
 
Mumblebury is
The captain of cool
In his UFO ship
Taking children to school
