My hands were
Alone that
Patted my back...

I patted a dog
It looked gleefully at me
All my worries gone...

Like a good little puppy
Dance a dance, bark on command
Play the game
Most honorable friend...

A lazy sun winked at me
through the clouds
Weak warmth, denied August,
softly patted old grass....

she patted her apron
tiny boy crawled inside
she covered him up
hiding him from the cruel world
never letting him go
he was safe...

A very sexy lady once took me aside
Patted me on my enormous backside
Said, lose some pounds
And we'll go a few rounds
But the lump in my jumper committed suicide...

Dined at an upscale steak house last night
Served by a sweetie so charming and bright
Made our evening
And as we were leaving
Patted her on the bum what great delight...

Served by a sweetie so charming and bright
Made our evening
And as we were leaving
Patted her on the bum much to MY delight...

A date with a guy at the zoo
was great, til she went to the loo -
he patted her rear,
then wouldn't get near...
she'd sat in a dollop of poo.

A very sexy lady once took me aside
And patted me on my enormous backside
Said, lose some pounds
And we'll go a few rounds
The large lump in my jumper I sure couldn't hide

snuggles from my dog, 
being patted down by my cat,
painting a canvas, 
dragons, faeries and mushroom houses
my grandchildren's laughter, hugs and smiles
mashed potatoes with homemade beef and noodles
These things make my days delightful...

Peter put up potted plants on paths  and patted himself
Pasted posters on pitted  parts where people paid to pee
Praised and panned , through  pleas and plans, pots and pans he banned
Pipped  at the post in poles  and piqued, he put it all on press....

Please be gentle with them! Mary Lou’s mother had said.
Mary Lou took them out most carefully and patted their head.
They flipped and flopped weirdly for her mother’s favorite daughter.
Unfortunately no one told her goldfish need to stay in the water....

In the vee of his legs the mud-thing sat
he patted it round then he patted it flat
leaning back with arms out straight
he gave serious thought to the mud-thing’s fate
swinging his arm straight past his head
he cleaved it in two and declared it dead....

When I was a cat I rubbed everyone with my face
scratching my whiskers against their ankles
I licked their feet with my rough tongue making them jump
I patted their tummies down with my claws out
Pretending I was not trying to hurt them
I miss these days....

What was I dreaming
Dreaming in poems
Where I wore a black bracelet
I had to remove
Embers flew into my hair to be patted
But no faces in flames 
And no fire was there
Did I walk up a hill
The dream is now fading
The bracelet is lost
The embers are ash...

He stood erect.
I don't know
if he would have kissed his mate
     or patted his childrens' heads
when he set out from camp
     to procure food.
But they were happy
when he returned provisioned.
I bought him rice and tuna at Wal-Mart.
This is homelessness today....

                                        Cherry Night

An 
Astral 
Moonlit night
Sprawling ahead
In pin-drop silence
With a lustrous ether
Sparkling with shine of stars,
Patted by whispers of the breeze
In an invite to scan the sublime
And a lure to link up with the divine.

Grandma, the little girl said
Where do we go when we’re dead?
           We go with God up in heaven
            She told the young girl of seven
And gently patted the top of her head.

Then my goldfish who died I can say
Is with God up in heaven today
            Little brother yelled no
             I know that ain’t so
Cause I saw mommy flush him away!...

She wasn’t sure
If he had paid her
A compliment or an insult,
When he patted her posterior
And called her a bubble butt...

Wikipedia states: "Bubble butt" has at least two connotations, which are at odds with each other: either a small, round and firm pair of buttocks resembling a pair of soap bubbles next to each other, or a large rear end, seemingly about to burst from the strain....

Christmas colt felt pawing at his feet
I am being patted down he told his mama.
She said, “Those are kittens, aren’t they sweet?”
Not when they get older, said a knowing llama.

Christmas colt thought they were adorable, fun too.
He shook out his foot and he said, “hello you!”
The kittens were excited, they played around his feet.
He agreed with his mama that kitties are pretty sweet....

A work not done by heart is equal to scarlet thing. 
Ornament adored corpse, life doesn't bring.

 A donkey bathed with holy water wise it will not be
Decorated abandoned house happy it will not be

Patted food over stomach will not satisfy hunger  
Wax statues, body replica, not the power of thinker 

Fresh water added vodka a potion for drowsing
A work not done by heart is equal to scarlet thing...

The day he could not find his snuff
Grandpa got out his iron cuff
Grandma brought him an omelet puff
Delightful, cheesy, with some fluff

I do not want to be so gruff,
Grandpa said in kind of a bluff.
But I have truly had enough
Of grandchildren taking all my stuff.

Grandma put down her foxy muff
Patted his hands. They were so rough.
I do not blame you for your huff.
Babysitting is rather tough....

Golden beams caress
Nature's touch, web of cosmos~
Warm sun is my life

Glorious soft loop
It offers wordless concord~
Whispers bind and heal

Caring hands caress
Feelings sparkle beyond words~
An embrace of soul

Whispers in the wind
I patted my tangled hair~
A hug reveals where...

Beautiful tree of paradise,
Full of generous ginger spice.
Rainbow silence is twice as nice.
Fluttering leaves glittering twice.

Eyes gently close in this pretty place.
All consternation off her face.
Hypnotized in this reverent space.
Heartfelt love for paradise trace.

Soothing branches of paradise.
Bursting with tasty ginger spice.
Slathered with silence once or twice.
Filled with songbirds, and patted thrice....
