Short Duffy Poems

ancient bubble's gift
amber trapped mosquito's head
breathes scent of wild rose

This is a link to a noir short story I wrote, featuring a friend's cat. Administrators can delete if you wish, but I thought some might like a story.  I tried to be poetic.

God where were you on a Sunday afternoon,
When your clouds were oh so fluffy,
 Were you waiting for the right opportune.
Saying everything was just duffy.
 Does a child praying for help count,
Why God did you ingnore me.
 You allowed him to mount.
Could you not see.
 Did you say oh she does not count.
Come here he said to me.
 Do you know how babies are made.
No Daddy. 
 God why did you not come to my aid....

At night I close my eyes
Though they are full of tears
I see your gorgeous face
Which helps to calm my fears.

I try to understand
Why this is how things are
But deep inside I’m scared
Afraid it will go too far.

I fear you won’t come home
Home means back here to me
With me is where you belong
You know we are meant to be.

I need your reassurance
As often as can be
That you will be home soon
With little Duffy and me....

Pets are busy! Fowls are busy!
Bubbly Bunny, Classy Coney!
Go in a hurry, jump in a scurry!

Modest and merrier Moby
Decent and dandyish Duffy
Baking pastry, lovely candy

Adding honey, made it tasty
Turned sticky, frosted heavily 
Juicy! Choosy! Dainty! Yummy!

Master Mickey, Kooky Kitty
Made the kitchenette fussy
Looking busy but not hasty

What's it all for? There's a reason
Remember, it's a holiday season!

PLACE : 1st...

I only had you for two months
But it seemed like forever
I never would have thought
I’d give you up not ever.

I miss you all the time
That beautiful eye of blue
I hope that you are happy
I wish I would have kept you.

I hope that you forgive me
I wish you could have stayed
I couldn’t provide for you
So I had to give you away.

I will always love you
Though we are now apart
I will never forget you
I will carry you in my heart....

Will you marry me Marion?
Is what you asked me
Even like you said you would
Down on bended knee.

I started crying then
You almost did too
I have never been so happy
My dream is coming true.

I thank you with all my heart
For loving me this much
To want to make me your wife
I can’t tell you how much I am touched.

Either have a wedding or elope
Our decision might make people huffy
It doesn’t matter to me at all
As long as I become Mrs. Duffy....

She holds on to him
Scared, worried, afraid
Afraid to loose him
She cant
Not again
A tear falls on her cheek
Remembering the last time she let him go
No
That cant happen again
She squeezes 
He tightens his grasp on her
She is grateful that
He is here
Safe
Not dead
Then waking up
Crying because
He is gone
He wont return
She lays in the cold
Surrounding herself with blankets
Only blankets to protect her
Not the one she loves
For the one she loves
Is dead

EMMA DUFFY...
