Rat Traps

Many rats 
Capturing my kitchen
An alarming menace 
To end up at once 
Going for a trap is the answer 
But selling my cat is a question


Premium Member Raven Compression


Hiding from rain
Lies a slick raven
That old wisdom retains
Loves shades of loneliness
Traps all stirs of sounds
Bears mounts of pains

Booby Traps

concealed 
booby traps 
hidden throughout 
the interpersonal 
land 
meant to trick 
the unsuspecting 
passer by
spread out in order
to try and catch 
another victim

Mouse Trapped

In the field behind us, mice run a race.
Two blazed a path to our deck, face to face. 
I got some new traps
with sticky-tight flaps.
Now what do I do? as eyes beg for grace.

Can You Jump Her Twenty Traps When She Is Well Prepared

When the king meant to
Give Esther half of  kingdom
Because of much love. 

Some men  can put blame 
On the king for doing that, 
Forgeting true  love. 

Women have powers 
Which men failed to understand 
From years to today.

 tactics and technics
Of many women are not
of this world, watch out.

Calculated Traps

To control women
men feel they have
to be weakened,
brought down a few
notches so they can rule,
or at least feel cool,
"Calculated Traps" are set
to get women in compromising
positions, where they are
incapable of making healthy decisions,
Sometimes cheated out of their wordly
possessions, because salacious men have
dishonorable intentions.

Premium Member Announcing Venus Fly Traps

The sundews appear first
Marching over the horizon with confidence
Sage insects scatter, attempting to hide.
Pitcher plants show up in the next formation.
Announcing the imminent arrival of the Venus Fly Traps.
There is a frenzy now.
The insects are buzzing in terror.
They fly toward the eating army.
Anticipating their death.
Wanting it to be over quickly.

Premium Member Sensitivity and Life

Too sensitive will make life hard
Too ignorant will make life meaningless
Our five gifted senses 
Do sense life and its essences
Because we're sensitive and we care
Sensitivity will bring us 
Truth and justice
Prevention and salvation
Avoidance of errors, dangers and traps
A better life
A better ideology
A better affection and love
Lastly
A better world to live
For the next generation
Whom we love and care

Traps

You feel stuck,
Is there an escape?
Is there an unlocked door?
You crave freedom so much
There's nothing you want more.

Hearts trapped in souls,
Souls trapped in bodies,
Bodies trapped in societies,
Societies trapped in expectations,
Sooner or later you'll realise
That there is no pause.

So all in all,
We're all prisoners
Trapped in brick walls
Waiting for someone
To bail us out.

Premium Member Dogs Will Not Bother These Traps

Dogs won’t bother these traps the exterminator said.
They have poison in them and they’ll make mice dead.
They snap shut with indicators of green and red.
He was their chief expert, his name was Big Fred.

He had not met our dog Buddy, who was asleep on our bed.
Buddy ate that mouse trap this evening, my husband said.
He’s thrown up his food all over our Kansas homestead.
I am angry about it and blame that pest guy, Big Fred.

I Have a Gross Handicap

I have a gross handicap:
While sleeping retains my cap,
As I read feet in shoes tap
And easily a work “Crap!”

…And spoiled kids’ knuckles rap;
During sermon daring a nap,
Bathsheba survey her lap;
For my trips shun the best map…

Can I crush my handicap?
Enough to energy sap:
Eccentric wings stop their flap
While Handicap fills some gap…

But die could most handicaps:
As easy as rats in traps;
Sure, a cop and his hard slaps
Orders for water to start laps.

Red Pandas

Red Pandas are listed as, endangered
and 50% of their habitat, is in the Eastern Himalayas
The Red Pandas name, comes from the Napali word, ‘ponya’
which means bamboo or plant eating animal, that likes to chew bamboo

Red Pandas have acrobatic skills, using them high in the trees
but their forests have been cleared, for the lose their nesting trees
They are often killed in traps, that have not been set for them
and they have been poached for fur, creating genetic mayhem
