Four Cold Paws

A dark cloud forms as tears fill her eyes, spilling into a stream that runs down her face. She bites her lip to quiet the echoes of her cries. A lump forms in her throat, pulsing with the ache sent straight from her heart. Her legs begin to give away, until she collapses to her

Miss Wobble Paws

She used to be fast
and bouncy,
but after two strokes
her head began to tilt
over her rolling neck
and podgy body.

Yet, through bleary eyes,
she saw off
starlings and cats,
toppling into them
with her comic
John Wayne walk.

When called
She would stagger sideways
wet nose tracking the sound,
then lurch forward,
tongue lolling,

a wide grin of recognition
plastered over her fuzzy face,
her brain.

Bear Paws Claws

Near swift streams
Hear loud screams
Dear ones unsteady
Gear up—make ready!
Fear causes pause
Bear paws claws—
Bead on the Grizzly
Lead story too grisly
Dead hide becomes rug
Deed told with a shrug

Fire Paws

After working long hours, I can come home to rest. 
As soon as I place my key into the door, I can hear a series of steps. 
It is the steps of my little daughter. 
She is my baby. 
My first born from a person that gave her up for a better life. 
I am

Claw-some Paws

In the verdant valley of claw-some tales  
lived a lady in a cottage of tails.  
Every morning, her cat Grey loves to sit,  
sip chamomile tea until paws permit,  
a scratch here and there to wake her spirit,  
so the sneaky rodents nearby fear it.  
But the cat knew

Meowlu the Cat

Meowlu the cat, with fur so black, 
Sings meow-meow upon his back; 
His purrs are soft, his whiskers long, 
He loves to hum his favourite song.

At night he wakes and stretches wide, 
Then to the window, he glides; 
With tiptoe paws and eyes so bright, 
Meowlu steps out into the night.

The moon shines down on

One out of five

He was 6 foot 3.
I was 5 foot 5.
My only thoughts at that moment were staying alive..
Caught in the tenacles of his grip, helpless as I witnessed
my top rip..
My bra lifted up as  mammoth paws perspired, my
round breasts exposed, he paused and admired..
"You are beautiful" he said and then forcibly
he pushed down my head..
My

Miss Wobble Paws

She used to be fast
and bouncy,
but after two strokes
her head began to tilt
on the rolling deck
of her body.

Through bleary eyes,
she saw off
starlings and cats,
toppling into them
with her comic
John Wayne walk.

When called
She would wobble sideways
tracking the sound,

then lurch forward,
tongue lolling;
a wide grin of recognition
plastered over her fuzzy face
and brain.

Paws

My dogs talk to me,
  Every day,
  I have to listen carefully to what they say.

  My dogs talk to me, 
  Every afternoon,
  Tell me when to start to play.

  My dogs talk to me,
  Every evening and night,
  Tell me when it's time to sleep.

Rum N Raisin 7 - Paws

Rum had heard the rumour, “There’s a great new movie out.”
He asked around to find out what the plot might be about
It’s a tale of dogs so naughty, folk won’t go outdoors
Twas Ronnie Rat that told him that the movie’s name is ‘PAWS!’

Raisin said, “We wouldn’t understand a single word,
There won’t be cat subtitles so

Kitten Paws Pause

Kitten pauses over fishbowl because, 
it can't stand wetting its dry and clean paws.
So the goldfish are safe, free from the jaws.
And don't they know it, as they flap applause,
When they nonchalantly swim with no cause
For fear of cat, which obeys nature's laws.

Paws

my mother had cool paws and long fingers
she could have been an artist
but she reserved her love
for an infant

she would play a merry tune
with my chubby fingers and toes
while singing like an irish harp

perhaps your mother
was as talented as my mother
I bet she played peekaboo’
just as well as my mother did

but my mother
had cool paws

Bitsy Paws

with bitsy paws and tiny snout,
just watch this puppy romp about
and bring such joy to children's eyes
that you will think she's giant-size

glossy coat gleaming
beneath the star studded skies
shining in moonlight

That Ghost-Eyed Dog

Do you remember that ghost-eyed dog 
on the beach who always came so close 
to hunt us with her love?

She became one with the waves now,
washing away our hues and shades, 
blessing the wet sand with her running paws.

She is so far away now, 
her piercing blue eyes seeking for the unknown
pursuing the echo of
