Puma Poems

Roommate is on my plate
Dropping herself into my grits
Little flecks of warm porridge splash into my eyes

It is one of Trixie’s assistant muses
She has a killer smile and rainbow hair
Hi she greets me with telepathy

Lump of eggs rises 
I see...Read More

Exotic peacock waltzes toward me, in full plumage
I smile, she is magnificent. 
Smiling green orbs; I figure it is my friend Caroline.
No one else has those flaming chestnut curls she has not managed to hide.
“It’s wonderful!” she whispers to me...Read More

The puma is so sleek and black
I have no doubt he’d break my back
And carry me off to feed his cubs
They would love my fat and chubs.

The puma would come in the night
And grab my neck and hold me tight
I...Read More

I only compare myself to six 
Trixie is fierce and independent
Biting and clawing her way to the top
of the totem pole
in the form of a hawk
We back off and let her be

Faerie Queen is a good girl,
doing what she can...Read More

I tried to cage the muse
I tried to cage the silverbird
I tried to hide the puma
I tried to hide the eagle
I tried to hide the art in I
I tried to pen just but a little

The cumulative pressure
The cumulative effect
I almost...Read More

Animal kingdom was invited to join the forest meadow
Band orchestrated by the deniable dictator, diabolical gorilla king
Causing loads of premature bragging from delighted grand-animals.
Deliriously enthusiastic orangutans began to show off their voice prowess.
Excited flocks, herds, and murders flooded to the...Read More

I know the Bear.
     watcher, courage
          unpredict(ability)
I know the Snake.
     wisdom of initiation

I know the Wolf.
I know a pack of 'em.

I'm a Tree Huggin', Soy Chuggin',
I won't eat no meat
I'm a vegan of convenience,
Still, there's leather on my feet
I don't believe in lots of things
I'll protest and attack
But you won't find me out in front
'Cause I'll be in the back
I...Read More

They call me pampered pussy,
“Such a PRETTY pet!” they purr,
All they see’s a funny feline,
Just a friend with fluffy fur.

Hear me humans! I AM HUNTER!
I am leopard, lynx and lion,
I am panther, I am puma,
I will eyeball you with iron!
I’m...Read More

One day I met a big black puma
whom definitely lost its humour
I showed it silly tricks
the puma licked its lips
became an unwanted consumer.

Cowabunga
I'm coming in with a hunga munga
Near and far from any rotunda
Going in and out the umbra
While close and beyond yucca
Across desert, grassland, forest and tundra

Yargh!
Now I'm wielding a katar
And scimitar
On par
Ready to spar
Time I raise the bar

Hallelujah
Next I'll use...Read More

I WISH I WEREN’T A BUNNY
by
JOHN M. ARRIBAS


I never wanted to be a bunny, I’m not playing this game
I’d reconsider a puma: a lion with a frightening mane
But that’s not my fate, I’m a bunny, a defenseless toy
Other creatures have...Read More

Walking my Tiger home, if only I had known
in the small print of the sale there was a claws
in a nutshell it was leading to instructions about feeding

The dense smell in air is sobering 
But pleasant 
You can feel it in your nose
Your mind and soul

You know it is a smell of wonder
It’s coming from nearby meadow vast as sea
The smell of fresh air coming from horizon’s...Read More

The coppers alive in time to tame star
Cobra-cobrae and the eagle screeches
The silver eagle screeches once more
As the star falls on his feet -then flees
Then flees from the hand of the law..
They pursue not for he was on duty
The eagle...Read More

Zebras are stripy I’m sure you can see,
Yaks chewing cud as slow as can be, 
X-ray tetra in the aquarium are seen,
Warthogs with curly, white tusks that gleam,
Vertebrates aplenty, some invertebrates too,
Usually are seen at a visit to a zoo.
Tapirs...Read More

Eyes, burning into me;
Leaving shivers as they strike
Then look away.

Anger, hanging around me;
Chokingly thick in the air
Like a steamy summer smog.

Movement, quickening near me;
Stalking my ever motion-
A puma awaiting its prey.

Sound, slamming through me;
Warning that the time
Is now at hand.

Okay,...Read More

MOUNTAIN

As big as border,
Shape as like breast,
Cause our Earth too our mother.
The place so green,
A beauty so perfect,
A place know to be Log,
A trees too many,
A place so clean,
A river so pure,
But almost one of the hollowness,
A mountain so high,
