The Clouds of Mount Everest - may you ever restFlapping without flying.
It feels okay.
Your scales of fur corrode.
A foul, but sweet, but warm, but damp...
Scent of something new.
You're red and blue tomorrow,
Yellow, pink, today.
But forever, I'd say grey.
You're white, dirtied, pure.
Once lost, but now at home.
If invaders must die,
Make yourself the furniture.
You can stain my doormat red,
So you can see me before we part.
And...

Sal, Fish And Dougoh
Sal saw sea
beyond the seesaw
but
did her fish suit swimming
in a flashy swimsuit
Doug, her dog
at the pantomime
groans a panting moan
then
Sal, fish and Doug
did a selfie on her phone

Acrostic Agility Poetry ContestPaws on the windowsill, waiting for me
Ears perked up at the jingle of keys
Treats disappear with lightning speed
Dirt on the floor, but I don’t mind
Over and over, he’s one of a kind
Goofy grin, tongue out, tail wagging behind
Torn-up bear, stuffing all around
Once his favorite, now battle-worn and brown
You’d think it still squeaked by the way...

SparkleI had a green parakeet and Sparkle was his name.
When he died thirty-five years ago, it was a shame.
On the last day of April, I found him dead in his cage.
I bought him in 1981 and he died of old age.
My one parakeet outlived three blue parakeets that belonged to my mother.
Sparkle was my one...

- Quote by Roger Caras

Purpose is to feel unconditional trust and love
Emotions so rare, unfound in fellow beings
To own them is to be healthy, happy, and humane

If no one seems to give a hoot about a poem you've writtenIf no one seems to give a hoot about a poem you've written,
try reading it out loud to your dog or to your kitten.
And if, as you read it to them, all the while,
you see their tails wag and their faces smile,
writing the poem was worthwhile ~
at least ~ from where they're sittin'.
