Is a limerick milk and rice?
It is in letter form.
Will a butterfly flutter by
as pastel petals fall?
Astronomers, the moon-starers,
Say, “Yay! Cat’s ecstasy!”
Do canoes that ply the oceans
show discretion in directions?
Be silent now, and listen still,
to bather’s pacing breaths.
The tall and solitary royalist reigns;
but, will he resign?
Hear the minstrel, Mr Silent,
make a testament and statement:
“This is a play on jumbling words:
it's Anagramalia!”

New red-leaf candles glow in a green room
jungle cathedral; buttress-rooted forest-columns climb
to a sun-starred sky in jig-saw pieces;
wings stretch feathers over gravity;
voices whisper, ‘Beware. Lions prowl.’
Smooth granite-faced walls build shadow-spaces,
city-blocks; black-suited women, men, stride out,
ground-starers, pacing
beside the sign: ‘Do not feed lions’.

Us three starers
Me the dog and the cat
We stare at each other and all that
The dog stared at the cat
The cat, with erect tail, stared back
Then they both stared at me
Its what we do us three
Then I stared at the cat
Who was sitting on my new hat
The dog who was sat on the mat
Stared at the cat in the hat
I was sat in the chair
Thinking why do we all stare
But staring at each other is free
So we stare at each other, us three
The cat then sat up on the hat
And stared at the dog on the mat
The dog on the mat stared back at the cat
I just sat on the chair and I stared and I stared at the pair
I love my dog and my cat
My hairy mat and my crumpled hat
We have not really a care, Its a challenge to outwit and out stare
No one else joins our game, it just would not be the same
Just me the dog and the cat, we stare at each other and all that.
There is an art and a skill to a stare that is long
An eye contact that one must prolong
One blink and then you are done
It means the cat and the dog they have won
You may call us insane
But it's important to who wins the game
The rules are strict and are fair
So we stare and we stare and we stare
