Cats
static,
unlikely.
They'd rather play
in the big fish tank.
It's the notion
of prey in
motion,
fish.
Happy Birthday to my friend!
One third of the three,
in life’s twisted blend.
Unlikely in all ways,
but twined together till the end.
zoologist richard gale
meets an old thief reading braille
demanding he steal
an elephant seal
instead rich gets a narwhal.
I'm A Human Being
Barely, Unlikely
At Least.
And I May Never
Get To Say So.
Again.

Although
I think of you my words become icy
Do
Theses thoughts have relevance
It's pertinence unlikely...
My thoughts do wonder....
A hare who was seeking a mate,
Invited a snail on a date.
But, while the hare waited,
A trifle belated,
The snail turned up seven days late
since i fell through a glass pane
the neighbors have not seen rain
and since we dont go out
due to the recent drought
i'm hero of the floodplain.
I have yet to write a poem about a toothbrush
or toothpaste or cremation or zinc
One thing I am sure of, however, and that is
if I do, I shall have merely wasted a little more ink
Are we alone, seems very unlikely
By the number of stars, must assume rightly
Only time will tell
After I've heard the bell
Next generations will scan the heavens nightly
Words are unlikely a medium
To paint the paradise
They say
How far blindfolded
Towards the wordsmith
They may be
I can see a sun melt
Like glacier
On north eastern horizon
Of my words
If you believe, as I do, in fairy tales….
then believe this message from Little Jack Horner….
who with only his thumb discovered
miracles can be found in the most unlikely of corners
fly li'l fairies show 'em your bright colors, flap those tiny wings.
classy ornate's around flowers clinging, oh how they'd be
from unlikely creature become lovely features.

a distant god
sits alone
watching
talons
itching to strike
circle
a silent hunger
drives the wolf
to hunt
hidden
in her embrace
a mother’s fear

“The Tiger’s Revenge” is a wonderful book
Unlikely are many to give it a look
Its author as stated
Seems mighty ill fated
His name, Sir Claude Balls, has left many men shook
As sudden, as unforeseen
As by which hand, in gusts
Heart to heart does flick.
As burs felt then stick.
And as unlikely, across
Which space, insurmountable
Divides, immense is
For the differences.
People say the oddest things
not realizing their faux pas
Given the chance to self correct
they usually fail miserably
Is it malice or stupidity
~ unlikely we'll ever know

Unlikely Friendships,
Golden wedding Anniversaries,
Cold Turkey success stories,
Doctors who don't pull the plug,
Guns that misfire,
What some give up, to help others,
Sunshine on my shoulders,
Great Poetry.
A shark and a dolphin were seen
with a very small space in-between.
They were both in their stride
as they swam side-by-side
it was a highly unlikely scene!
Enter: My Worst Poem Ever
Ralph Taylor
While we take pleasure in the glory of the Lord’s handiwork
Satin’s tireless henchmen seek prey in unlikely places
Compelling the hand of God to run his fingers over the earth
Visual 2 For Andrea's Sijo contest
Our love was like a lucid dream
I thought I was hallucinating, hooked on LSD
her looks were so intimidating
hearing the word "yes" seemed unlikely
her skin was warm like summer
love blinded me and I became much dumber
a rythmatic
suspicion.
unlikely coming
addiction.
precisely hitting
anticipation.
furry catching
annihilation.
heart bending
mutilation.
mind numbing
gratification.
soul sinning
climax.
words slipping
relax.

Whatever storm you may find yourself in
always remember that you are,
no matter how unlikely it seems,
the eye of heaven
beholding itself,
the light and
glory of its
own radiant
being.
Christopher M. Swan 2009
Yesterday, it was the tortoise and the hare.
Today, another unlikely pair -
an alley cat, a stolen car,
and a mouse on the lam who wouldn't get far -
two double crossers, one prayer, "God willing,
all I ask, 'a drive-by killing'".
Day, Night
You, Me
An unlikely pair
That’s what we are.
I push, You pull
I run, you walk
I go, you stay
I yell, you talk
You…
Me…
Summer, Winter
We don’t happen at the same time
Except at distant poles
On opposite sides
Of the line.
dogs are not cats
they …..
Look for love in the most unlikely of places.
find it too
for who can resist a puppy
or a cold nose nuzzling your shirt?
dogs are not cats
they love you no matter how nasty you get
making you want to be better
