Lamb left a litter,
Behind blobbing bumps.
Water went wetter,
Next to a naughty nest,
Where waves have wondered,
How heaves haunt...

and fall face-down that gives me

Pollen blown into the buds fertile zone
Creating seeds for another chance to dance
yellow litter across my window
yellow haze for vision's gaze

My Wife's Affair - poem 10

Empty Guinness bottles
reminders of what 
I am trying to forget.
Litter my family room table
like cockroaches 
that are not afraid of the light.

Premium Member Merlin the Magic Cat

Oh, he is a most wonderful cat
Who somehow grew covertly fat
Surprised by the mew
As no litter was due
And HE once again not so fat

"Pinky" was born in a litter
Where his humour made everyone titter,
He once told a joke
Of a pig in a poke
So his mum kicked him right in the ter!

Grocery Poem Xvii

cracking like a bat
the summer storm
moves in quick
like ants to aisle nine
where chocolate chips 
litter the floor
& the culprit runs away,
scared of the thunder

Always irritated, bold, big and bad.

My New Best Friend

You are the smallest dog, 
in the largest litter I ever saw. 
You are late to eat, 
sleep too much, 
and bark all night. 
We should get along great.

Exposed

Does verse reveal
the litter

That left strewn, 
clogs up your mind

Does poetry
uncover

What the prose tries best
—to hide

Down At the Rock Quarry

Everyday I shovel and rid some rocks
my super looks say this is a crock
he bats at my shovel
again I'm in trouble
thinks I'm stealing poop from his litter box.

In a Day

A cold sun
Stamped on a blue sky
The highs winds from the north
The boat struggles
The flags in motion
Litter scattered on the roads
As the whore waits with a very short skirt.

Dual Exhaust

Just watch your sneezing with a dual exhaust,
kitty litter holds the wet remorse,
Hay fever can be a pain in the rear,
Remember the kitty litter dear,
And stay in the tray of course.

Trump Big Baby Always Bitter 

Trump is a big baby always bitter;
Never follow through and a quitter;
While on farm,
Found four alarm;
Over White House spread his litter.
