Rats and Roses
I don’t have my learners permit. I have had to be the adult my whole life. I have had to tend to their outbursts and tantrums. I have survived all their rat runs I’ve always told myself it’s an assessment A test of my determination I will soon regain my adolescence They’re just giving me a foundation, I have had to deal with...

Premium Member Rats Probably Love it Down There
Rats probably live in Joe’s man cave I never clean it; I am not a slave I bet they have parties after midnight Scooping up all his debris, which is out of sight. Under his recliners are crackers and cheese. Peanut butter, potato chips, and dust that would make me sneeze. I imagine the rodents love being down there all cozy...

Premium Member Rats in the Cellar
Rats in the cellar, squirrels in the tree, things aren't the same as they used to be. When I left for school with my li'l lunch pail, I didn't expect a penguin to swallow a whale. Such an injustice, I've never seen, a cantaloupe falsely imprisoned a bean. It's unheeded screams, uncontrolled laughter, when it's trolls that live happily ever after. Doors off their...

What even is this?
• Blazing hot ice • Chilly open flames • Animals wearing clothes • Humans with no names • Empty houses with legs • Rats hatching from eggs • Marbles from the water faucet • Shucking pods and getting pegs in ...

Premium Member They Gathered Outside My House
Unlike the model T Ford They come in both black and brown And also unlike model T It’s brown that is getting me down But what I refer to is no early car And it isn’t a cute little mouse It’s whopping great rats and they frightened my cats As they gathered outside my house I’ve baited the snap traps with chocolate...

Premium Member Rats On Gas
My garden backs onto a farm Which shouldn’t cause any alarm With so much fresh air I’m glad I live there And only one thing spoils its charm I feed the birds and feral cats At night I enjoy watching bats The field mice and spiders That reside beside us Are fine, but there’s too many rats It’s fine that they eat the bird’s...

Premium Member Manipulative Monsters
Believe it or not, their ubiquitous webs Are everywhere; they are the dictators Who kidnap, maim, torture and kill teachers, Poets, ordinary folks and babies in their cribs. They rob and ransack innocent citizens, Steal elections and after a lifetime in power, Categorically refuse to leave the tower. Very often, they do everything to muzzle the chickens. Monsters are constantly in disguise, They are...

Rats
In the dark cellar where I lay my young head there were shadows rats, and phantom squeaks. All night long hunched silhouettes nibbled at the space between them and me. Luckily, I had a superman figure who rodeoed them all into a toy plastic hospital where they were put down humanely. As I was, when I mentioned my fears to unblinking parents. ...

The Rats
there are rats digging into my skin you couldn't imagine the pain that im in claws so sharp, it won't take long moaning, marbled, mournful song they're in my eyes and in my ears they've reached my stomach, all my fears come flowing out, a rush of blood and from my mouth, there comes a flood of words I never couldn't say of children...

Premium Member New York City Rats
Rotting eggs, fish, moldy pasta, and meat Mixed with the odor of damp rodent fur. The garbage in bags is lining the street. New York is a city beyond compare. The food that's thrown feeds a population, Not for people, but for rats everywhere. Well-fed and moving are these three million Who run down sidewalks without any care. The mayor has found...

To the Past Rats
"I've always been told I'm the lunatic! As I've never bowed down, as I don't please the rats around me ever, even many many years ago! Never made friends with fools, even from their trouble, why try when they don't even know, I'm to proud of myself to give a flipping from all those...

Rats
Rats! Rats! Rats! Romping, frolicing, ruckussy rats! Cuddly, bubbly, lovably rats! Pestering, menacing, troublesome rats! Rats! Rats! Rats! Getting in your hair Crawling through open holes Bouncing ‘round from chair to chair Licking leftover food out of bowls Tickling, bothersome Pickling, lothersome Just plain nuisancy RATS! *I wrote this poem at the age of 12 and I want to share it here in honor of World Rat...
