Spoiled-Rotten Cat Instructs Visitors
Don’t you dare try to sit in my spot!
I’ll decide if you pet me or not.
I’m the star here, you’ll see.
They all cater to me.
They just like you; they LOVE me a lot.

The House Cat's Official Greeting to Visitors
Seeing as I live here
(I say this not in jest),
remember this is my domain,
and you are just a guest.
There is a possibility
that's fairly safe to predict:
you will definitely be sniffed
and probably be licked.
(Deal with it.)
It is not my problem
if you're a crusty grouch;
if you don't like cat hairs,
stay off the

Clarke Gets Rid of Feared Visitors
Don Clarke acted like one who’d soon leave.
His callers stood up in compliance,
Then heard the gasped relief Clarke did heave,
To them Clarke’s hurting non-reliance:
The fears of losing his appliance!
“Clarke might his tears wipe with his shirt’s sleeve!”
His stereo that fuels his vain long dance.
Oh! How Clarke loved the songs Big Stars weave;
His mind songs help

Uninvited Visitors
The demons of my mind come and visit me every night - taking satisfaction in the pain they bring my way
Though I lay in seek - of a peaceful evening’s sleep
They choose my worries as a playground on which to play
With howls and screams which pierce through my dreams - they

Between the Compasses
Visitors on a planet
Near the outskirts of uncounted stars,
We experience time in expanding space.
We grow and develop,
and in wisdom
Come to know the questions of eternity.
Deep within us all
Near the core of unexplored life,
We experience love, the Spirit of God.
We are all united,
and in faith
Return to

Our Unexpected Visitors
Our friends are dying fast.
Visits are very few.
But we all have a blast,
When occasionally they do.
It was pouring rain on Friday,
Not the most cheerful weather,
It was not the time "To make hay".
Just lovely still to be together.
Then to our surprise,
Our doorbell rang,
John took time to arise,
Then we heard the"Bang."
John tried to hurry to the door,
He

Visitors
scampering, scurrying
rushing back and forth
anxious looks, beads of sweat
merge into rivulets
the significance of the moment
all boils down to this

Two Visitors From Heaven
a yellow bird in the silence of winter
this is curious, so I sneak to my window
moving slowly, so I do not scare it.
a red streak flies across and lands
two cardinals! they are messengers
I have heard of this, but had not experienced it
on a pure white day, where schools are closed
here they sit – two of

Halloween Visitors
I put a pumpkin on my porch outside,
and he had a hideous face;
I prepared the many treats, myself and my cat,
so, with things in order- on the sofa we sat.
The kids so cute a smile I had to hide,
little ones I wished to embrace;
then, as it got darker things got a bit scary,
and with

Visitors
Visitors I saw in my garden today were:
9 starlings noisily squabbling
1 duck casually waddling.
1 robin - a handsome little chap
1 bumble bee, that landed on my lap.
2 neighbouring cats, stalking the same prey
1 little mouse, who wears a coat of grey.
3 worms wiggle above the earth I dug
1 fat, juicy, giant, orange, slimy,

Dawn's Visitors
Waking, I heard a lovely song.
Somehow, the music didn't belong.
Bell-like in tone, to softly please.
Perhaps was only summer's breeze.
Dreamlike music, not lasting long.
I opened blinds and there, askew
pocket-size fairies spritzing dew.
Midst them smiled a green leprechaun.
Their tiny laughter welcomed dawn--
wee pixies only rainbows knew.
Sun starts its rise and day begins.
Their music stops, their graceful spins.
Quickly,
