Kitten Hunts

A radish garden in Iona, where plant and dirt align
beetles no bigger than pistachios crawl, to nature’s grand design

Reflections in the eyes of an eager hunting kitten
mystery of finch and bug, looking to get bitten

Each X-factor critter more intriguing than the rest
worth a follow for a while, until he comes upon the nest

A shadows eclipse as he begins the silent crawl
fire of a frugal chase that risks ending in a sprawl

Shillelagh paws reaching for their tiny mark
a feline hunter, as deadly as a shark

Swooping in with shrieking calls and feathers flash
the startled kitty makes a splash

Defeated this time with wounded pride
he runs, to find a place to hide

Feeding A Toddler

Picking up the spoon gingerly
as if it were some sort of tchotchke
toddler with a cherub like face
studying the food like a sagacious sleuth
playing with the texture at first
reacting as if some bonehead cooked this
and it were aardvark instead of chicken
a putrid colorful rotten soggy orange
and your praise of its flavor and taste
were nothing more than desperate perjure
your pleas fall on deaf ears again
just another dinner evening it seems
trying to feed a toddler

Dinner Mishap

My life stood still
by a single innocuous
murderous meatball

A light maelstrom,
blood like sauce
stained my briolette necklace

Officious halcyon ventripotent poodle
unthreatened, helping herself
to the haberdashery of food

Call it clumsiness,
an elderly fossil fumbles
a light slippery fork

But always count on
the reliability of your dog
to help clean up the mess

Who Will Make Coffee?

A volunteer arrives
eager for the diversion

hot scalding water
flowing through its jugular

Finnimbrun machine tolting
coffee grinds near incineration

like a stalker waiting
we all snatch our cups

grabbing the pitcher
like a raptor takes prey

we intake our daily dose
as we make our recovery

from the fatigue of our toils
and an endless supply of work

Perfect Sandwich – Random Twitter Poem for May 20th

twitter poems
20 May 2009

Today’s poem made me very hungry after I wrote it, probably because I wrote it before lunch rather than after lunch. Amazingly the poem starts off quite dark and ominious as if something bad is going to happen, but quickly reveals it was all just a craving and obsession to eat the perfect sandwich. 14 random words today (in blue), thanks to the twitter followers who played today:

@evliving (spigot), @SurfCityJay (energize), @ElyssaD (repulitard), @Sweetnote (alliteration), @Zorlone (tarantula), @santasdevil (redemption), @jmbuckingham (kismet), @Catherine1016 (insistence), @blm03 (sick), @RemBeatZ (collection), @purplefrogcat (flooding), @anefallarme (farm), @SteveBelt (sexy), @tonyknuckles (substantiate)

Perfect Sandwich

Repeating alliteration in your mind
superbly savage sick sexy seduction
thoughts only energize and substantiate your intent
unbottled kismet, like a spigot pulled from cask
or a tarantula stalking its prey on a farm
with less tact than the most lowly repulitard
emotions flooding over you as approach
the collection of meats, cheeses and bread
rising to your lips, at your mouth’s insistence
flavors coalescing over your tongue
redemption and tranquility stand as one

That is the perfect sandwich
