Smitten Poems

Premium MemberSmitten by Kitten Disinterest

never loved cat ways
their tail-flicking arrogance
their unasked-for gaze
my family longed for one —
I yielded, keeping distance

stray kitten arrived
they all fawned gushed over it
but the cat chose me
the least interested one
who shooed and shoved it away

smitten by kitten
my heart disinterested
lurched to beat retreat
we're inseparable now
the kitten has claimed my lap

Smitten by her Smile


I saw the world in black and white,
Till her smile poured in the light.
A curve so soft, so sweet, so wild—
It made the cynic in me mild.

No thunder cracked, no heavens roared,
Just one glance—and my soul soared.
A silent spell, a sunlit mile,
I stood undone… smitten by her smile.

It wasn’t loud, it didn’t shout,
But all my

Premium MemberThe Smitten Heart

You are the pounding thunder in my chest,
Like a drum corps, with every word you speak.
And when I see your smile, there is true rest
And when my eyes meet yours, my knees grow weak.

There is a missing piece in every soul
Filled only by that one, sublimest love.
There are no substitutes to fill this hole
Only you,

Smitten Kitten

To seem more relevant
maybe to appeal to the
needs of so many
sort the best
from the rest
some they don't get any
all for me
and none for you
thats aint nice
or cool
Share the stakes
eat the steaks
thats the golden rule.
Fiddle dancing
Horns for romancing
a groove bas
keeps the singer in tune
modest background singing
Ah question
ah ring and
maybe a sultry honeymoon
aint no question
maybe I'm guessing
we

Premium MemberBy bliss smitten

Playful spontaneity is frowned upon, 
looked upon as unbecoming for adults 
but vibrance of innocence cares not for scorn,
as its pure childlike heart bliss emotes exults,
living in the moment, each breath a new dawn,
leaving it to God to determine results.
A rebel, a nerd, we follow not the herd,
for having cracked the code, we need no

A letter to Santa She'd written, A ruby red bow made of ribbon

the tree underneath she saw, four paws of a kitten 

at first, the girl beamed, at first she was smitten, 

untill on her finger, the kitten had bitten 
 
 then finding her wool-knitted favourite mitten,

Tor by small paws and sharp claws of

He is too smitten, totally gaga said the African lioness queen.
I have tried to dissuade him, but I am not the kind to be mean.
Why is he in love with you? Asked her brother, male Lion.
Not sure, but he says if I do not reciprocate, he might be dy’n.

African queen watched the alligator serenade her

All I need is to have you touch me and be by my side.
I am smitten with a passion, it all seems a mystery.      

With the warmth of your touch my tears will subside.
All I need is to have you touch me and be by my side.

Now I can hold

Premium MemberMcwhirt Is Smitten With Princess

Hollyhock princess leans on a mushroom to flirt.
The mushroom is bashful, he hides a bit in the dirt.
What is her name? whispers his interested cousin McWhirt.
Not sure, says the mushroom, but she is drooling on my shirt.

She can drool on my shirt anytime McWhirt says with a wink.
She can uproot me, scrub me, and plunk

Smitten By the Spring

When I stepped in here
I caught the unsymmetrical patterns on the wall,
The dark maroon contrasting curtains,
An open cupboard and 
A thick layer of dust on the broken mirror
The floor, the surrounding 
A damp room with beige walls 
And a glass window with twisted grills
Showing me my place, my cage

But…
But, the dawn welcomed me with its

Smitten

If I was a kitten
maybe I wouldn’t be so smitten
it’s as though I’ve been bitten

There is no chance
of romance
maybe under a different circumstance

Though it seems she was heaven sent
and I feel an urge to relent
it would likely lead me to repent

Don’t know why the attraction
am I looking for some sort of satisfaction
help me Lord to

All while feeling so smitten.
Feelings kept hidden,
All while wishing you would too
Feel as smitten as I do.

Tell me name of just one, who bored by beauty?
Eyes have a job to do, let them go over
Smitten! No issue if   your heart is clear!
Admiring eyes and beauties made for each other…..

Heart and mind and pace these in one row together
Such is marvel of creation,
