copycat
sits next to me
she’s on my last nerve
copying my math now
feeling satisfied
it is all wrong
misleading

You sly cat

In the mirror you sat

You’re a mimic feline

A copycat with fur so fine

Eyes gleaming with tales of a mischievous spat

Oh you pitiful copycat,
fake accounts you’re getting fat;
Polluting my shadow Spam,
you can’t be who I am;
That’s a dead person’s photograph....

The dolphin and the monkey
   are very smart, it seems
The languages of man they speak
   their emotions they live-stream

Used to be the parrot
   was admired for human speech
Now viewed as just a copycat
   whose soul we cannot reach...

Comatose: inspired by Insomniac by Maya Angelou, for Joann’s Copycat contest

There are some morns when
Sleep conquers,
Heavy and masterful.
And all the tricks
That I groggily try
To shake it from my head
Are futile as raising the dead,
And much less hopeful....

Be the best at what you do and always stay on top
Don't get distracted on your path and let your vision pop
Be diligent and go forth with all your power and might
And whatever it is your going for keep right there In your sight

Be the best at what you do and don't be a copycat just do you...

Why try to write like somebody else,
by others passion driven

A watered down copy, trespassing free,
to alien words you’re smitten

A copycat artist who mimics the sounds,
your voice a toast unbidden

While somebody’s pain and somebody’s joy
—the stolen horse you’ve ridden

(Rosemont Pennsylvania: April, 2020)...

View A Copycat 
.....
View a copycat as a stray cat
They stray through the day hunting down prey
They pick up a scent through steel or cement
They act shy yet they’re sly
They get around traps, they escape with the bait
When you realize your loss
& feel the hard cost
Without a peep or a sign
Smiling they stand across the 
Finish line...

I'm a big fat thieving copycat
A liar and a cheat
The most inconsistent person, 
you'll probably ever meet.
Shouldn't try to love me
I'll cut and slice you deep
Heart's in the right place
But i'll probably make you weep
I'm fun for the odd night
Sometimes could be even a week
But if i'm honest with you
Deep or meaningful really aint what i seek...

BUGS!HAVE BUGS,THAT ALSO HAVE BUGS.
WITH KIN AND HISTORIES SELDOMLY DUG.
WITH HAMMERS AND CHISSELS WRONGFULLY USED.
AND COPYCAT FAILURES ALL BEING CONFUSED.
STEP FORWARD THE CRUSHING FOOT.
THE UNKNOWING TORTURORS ARE IN CAHOOTS.
INBORN SURVIVORS ARE BLESSED PROOF.
ONE SINGLE BUGS ENOGH TO MOVE.
THOUGH ALL THE MIGHTY  THUNDER  OVERHEAD.
A BUG IS SAFELY IN ITS OWN DOMAIN...in bed!...

If,
I was not afraid of, 
the thing, but the signature 
strike of a copycat
in the art of dismantling.

You,
try to pull down brick
by brick, the
jeopardy. A dead premises
becoming alive.

How,
will you,numb with pain,
explain the poetry of victim’s trail,
becoming a Buddha ?
Can you find a bo tree for me ?

The,
grape hyacinth, I still
carry your globular blue
eyes, chasing my
kisses. Why in the evening ?

still the same
still holding séances in batholes
still thrumming
and still drumming on my tinderbox

still letting the copycat days
kill themselves over and over
the angels are on strike
all over the Mandrake Mountain

still the dawn
is covered with cobwebs
of cold marine graveyards
still the dusk
is X-Rayed through our bones

still I exist
even though it feels I don’t
painted on the mouldy wall
just a part of a still life scenery...
