a matched set
He is boorish, churlish, an overbearing lout
my old maiden aunt introduced him all about
he’s my man, she announced, with a giddy shout
they are a matched set, I have no doubt

a smelly muddy matched set
the dog is muddier than I feel
we are both grimy
gritty
ridiculously filthy
the dog and I
He’s been mudding
I am super casual
in my pajamas for the sixth day
we are a smelly matched set

A Prayer
Well paint me grateful!
So acclaimed
my gladdened heart
In my modest abode
abundance dwells
and I abound in peace
Content to yield
to the universe's lead
All I ever need
readily resides in me
In this belief
my entire trust I lay
The only snag
an itch I can't reach
brings me down
to my knees in

They Matched Wits
Mother Goose met Dr. Zeuss
They circled each other for a while
Mrs. Goose lunged for his caboose
He tickled her wit, then smiled

A Matched Pair
I frown into the mirror.
What happened?
Yesterday, we were newlyweds.”
"Fifty years ago," he says.
“You lost half a century.”
There's my husband, slouching
in the recliner, thinning hair,
frayed collar, expanding stomach.
A slow smile spreads across my face.
I sidle over, plop into his lap,
and sling my arm around his neck.
"Remember Great Falls, fishing
in the Missouri River until sunset,

Matched Each Other
Matched Each Other
While often writing and here waiting
Wondering what my mind should be relating
To some subject which will be the best
People will love forever and never detest.
Why won't poets, a comment try to make
Afraid it may cause much pain and heartache;
Worry them about my poems I have chosen
How poorly is their start as well as

Miss Matched Eyes
Miss Matched Eyes
by Cate Rock
His eyes open to me.
His gaze surrounded me.
It astounded me...
Entranced me...
And made me whole.
A soft kiss he placed on my lips,
Such a kiss could bring a girl to her knees,
Yet his firm grip held me.
Arms hugging me tightly around my hips.
He surrounded me in his music...
It encased us in time.
It was

Can Never Be Matched
The Grace that He bestows,
the love that He is...
The Wisdom that He shares,
the understanding that He gives...
The Comfort that He brings,
the friend that He is...
Can never, no never be matched!
The Light that He sheds,
the way that He leads...
The Mercy that He has,
the pain that
