lassoing a porcupine isn’t as much fun as I thought it would be

Porcupine
If you happen across a porcupine,
Staring upon the Milky Way,
It’s because he thinks he’s an Alien,
and longs to return home one day.
A porcupine named Prickly Pete
Did doze in his condo in Crete.
When slumber turned sour,
Unleashing his power,
He skewered both a ghost and his sheet.

“It’s a snail, crept up on
by a spider, mutating into a
porcupine, being eaten by a jellyfish!”
What a work of art!
I apologize, mere words cannot describe it!
Perky pink python plays a piccolo
Perforated opossum practicing as pro
Pretty prancing porcupine poke Pinocchio
Pronunciation phrases performed in pleasing prose.
hoar frosted branches
like the quills of porcupine
the first frost of fall

His prickly quills were more than a few,
her black ink was seldom used,
octopus in sink,
porcupine got ink,
their writing poems making headline news.

Pity the poor porcupine
on what kind of chair can it dine
It cannot sit on its rear end
for its quills will not bend
And if it stands on its head
it will surely be dead
some mornings before my coffee
i feel as prickly as a porcupine
and don't want anyone nearby
precious silence respectably
a most welcomed blessing

There once was an oversexed hedgehog
Who had eyes for an exuberant frog ~
They had themselves a good yuk
But then got stuck, just their luck ~
Green porcupine baby's home’s in a bog
Persnickety porcupine are you a rodent then?
Are those quills at the end of your tiny chin-chin?
To the ocean, have you ever travelled or been?
Swimming with porpoises next to your prickly skin?
Spiky hair.
Brittle.
Porcupine,
hedgehog,
spiny anteater
echidna,
kid.
Grow up prickly.
Grow up quick.
They raze -
rib dig.
Hurts in his alphabet soup.
Jeers jar.
quills quiver.
Curled up,
face tucked
into heart.
Drinking and Playing
Drinking and drinking Irish whiskey and red wine
They all thought they saw a spotted giraffe recline
Statistics say play
Oh ya, come what may
then they started playing with a fat porcupine.

Four lines -- seven, eight, nine:*
kaleidoscopic kangaroo
leaping 'cross lagoons of blue
splashed peripatetic porcupine
who shot a quill at her behind

Have you ever dined with a porcupine?
I mean have had a meal, rather fine?
Maybe not a dinner, but glass of wine?
Did he prefer a soup spoon or a fork with tine?
The reason I’m curious, please don’t wine…
I’ve invited him to your house at a quarter to nine.
Beneath a moon divine
Yearning hearts will intertwine
Lone avid lovestruck feline
Awaits her friend the porcupine

What is that animal peeking through the leaves?
Animal laughs as he hears the forest fairy wondering aloud.
Porcupines speak Fair-esh, you know, he thinks.
Ah, a midgespout, she says.
He is indignant now.
He had no ideas that fairies called porcupines midgespouts.
Porcupine
With prickly porcupine
I am deeply in love.
To caress her thigh
I put on a glove;
Pricks to wisely cheat
A new generation
To sire or re-create.
A porcupine’s desire
Is God’s wise plan:
Patient men to sire
With abusive woman!

Not the whitest of whales, but the cutest by far
And a body about the same length as a car
Richly blessed with a beautiful tusk he is crowned
Which is so huge, a toothbrush that large can’t be found
He’s no porcupine
And his name is divine
Look at the first letter of every line

That day, rain brought death.
Raging torrent swept away
Lives, homes, happiness.
TV images,
Bring impotent sympathy
For loss, shock and tears.
On a nearby shore —
Little blue boat, torn in half,
A chair up-ended.
Two porcupine fish —
Victims of freshwater flood
Mourned by a small child.
Piglets and pigs are the picks of my pens
Practically perfect in ink
Parsimonious pip-squeaking partners
In pulchritudinous pink
Presumptuous porkers on pineapple pizzas
As porcupine people must think.

HAIL TO NEEDLES OF PREY
They had
Hand-set
The trap
To lure
And capture
Freed nocturnal
Prey–
A prized
Catch
For the
Oppressive
Stew pot–
However,
In liberating
Darkness,
They blindly
Reached
In
And tightly
Grabed
A porcupine!
Pray-tell,
Our prey
Llives
Will likewise
Become
Sharp,
Liberating
Ones:-
Predictable Porcupine
Porcupine strolls by
spikes glowing only at dusk
always the same route
