Long Scaredy cat Poems

Stricken with anguished nausea

Written three years ago tomorrow, 
yet superimposed (likened to 
emotional palimpsest) upon 
mental state of yore
recent post traumatic stress 
triggered courtesy war
torn legally tendered greenbacks, 
where enemy bonded, heisted, and netted 
mine...

Coloring smiling faces donned with faux missing teeth,
and waxing poetic lip schtick adorned with moustaches

Swarthy, spooky, scary carved
pumpkin faces thickly materialized 
out of thin air
as Halloween holiday loomed near
yes... just an innocently naive fickle kid,
who...

Mine gerund farming, tilling, and harvesting illogical weltanschauung

Twas accursed destiny
since birth (maybe coded in
deoxyribonucleic acid  
since time immemorial) alas and alack
nascent emasculation abominable barrack
emergent deus ex machina,
one common Joe biden his time
for no particular
rhyme...

I wax poetic as lifeblood imperceptibly doth wane

Mine body electric analogous 
to Google map pronounced 
with arteries and countless varicose vein
visible popping blood vessels  
leeches haven grand old time 
at expense of poor sucker...

She wasn't a stray, but a sick yellow cockatiel,
with speckled gray on her feathers.
The pet shop was giving her away,
I was in elementary school when I got her,
she was a lovable bird and I enjoyed...

She really wanted to see a ghost…ecstatically excited.
She heard this place had plenty, and a spooky atmosphere.
She’d have to pinch herself, ready to cheer…elated.
She’d spend a romantic weekend there with a freaking-out spouse.

He’s a scaredy-cat!...

Aging baby boomer
no longer fit as a fiddle
accumulating extra adipose tissue
around the middle
ain't no impossible mission
whence thumbs I twiddle
to shed unwanted 
weight methinks exorcise to unriddle.

Call to action necessitates
yours truly to acclimatize,
calling fitness trainer

I am a real scaredy cat
and there's absolutely nothing that
I could do about that.

I'm scared of 'roaches
I'm scared of rats
I'm scared of spiders
and afraid of bats
I fear all arachnids
and I fear those gnats
Oh I fear...

Adopt a snow Leopard the TV ad said
Just £5 a month
So I signed up straight away
I forgot all about it
until there was a knock on the door one day
I opened the door and just saw...

sure it used to be a funeral home, but it looks pretty tame now
This was stated by my cousin, whose military record is a wow.
He has been to the Persian Gulf, and lived through it,...

Dark serene
Alone and together
My world in chaos
Vocational anxiety
Financial sobriety
Yet all matters not
As I look to my right
Gaze at my Gucci
Amazed by her will
Her zest for life
Amidst physical turmoil
A ruthless journey
Made tolerable and enjoyable
By quintessential Alpha...

Just a regular curbside puddle,
It really wasn't that big.
But it had the look of an ocean,
To a sweet little puppy named 'Pig.'

"Your paws might touch the water,
No chances that you will drown."
Pig looked at his...

I have a serious crush on Dorthy
While she has a Kansas crush on them
The Lion and the Scarecrow
Not to mention the Tin Man

The only time you see her
These days is when
She's skipping about town with...

I’m Calico, the fourth, and though you haven’t asked,
I’m here to tell you what you’re thinking; so relax.

it was all a big hoax, ‘cause the facts...

Cry Baby Cat,
was a stray that turned up
wailing outside our front door.
We never turn down a stranger in town,
especially when clouds
have gathered to storm.

Beginning to pour, I opened the door, 
and we welcomed him in,...

Abandoned
Confused
Hurt
Suicide.

Stay strong, 
I'm weak
Everyone's beautiful,
Except me.

My life,
Full of lies
Where no one 
Believes me.

They hurt me
Inside,
But I refuse 
To let them know.

Hiding how I feel
Lying that I'm fine
Feeling very lonely,
But still trying to hide.

Hide behind the...

Click clack

The mind of a braniac
Riddled with ritalin

Taste that don't waste that
Glass of wine
Escape time
Space out now pace back

Pen never sleeps
Psychoanalyze insomniacs

Click clack

The mind of a scaredy cat
Feared the present so
Regressed to the past

Try closing...

It is just a simple hole in the wall wand shoppe, the older lady said.
We smelled the magic in there, and I felt a tiny thump on my head.
It’s a cat, and it looks vicious...

I never liked the Wizard of Oz
Those monkeys creeped me out
And how can you function without a brain
That sewed the seeds of doubt

And what about those munskins
A little too creepy for me
The lion was just...

Trembling in my bed tonight
I cannot close my eyes
The movie on the late, late show
Says everybody dies

Now some say I'm a scaredy cat
But tonight is Halloween
What if someone kidnaps me,
And tries to eat my spleen?

I...

Midnight at my bedroom window
I thought I saw hanging a black widow
When suddenly I heard a bunch of noise
And realized it was a hoodlum gang of boys
Looking for trouble down the street
Making my scaredy-cat heart...

And it held the firecracker like a runner with a torch
But never did it light it like scaredy-cat, stalked.
Month afresh year afresh
It held its breath, uncertain
Hullaballoo zodiacking but still remained perturbed!

They say it...
