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

Damaged Cabinetry

Contrapositive imperfection baffles me
a twisted nodule appears in perfect symmetry

A vex for sure, my patience wearing thin
I have to fix the wood, but where do I begin

How were these slight defects generated
ruined cabinets that once were venerated

Elegant framing fit for a palace seraglio
were more expensive than you would know

Unsurpassed craftsmanship now in question
this could be my first and last impression

I train for situations, just like these
repairing wood like a doctor cures disease

Grabbing a hand saw and a wood file
this project would surely take a while

But before my work is about to start
and I begin to take the drawer apart

The damaged wood seems alright instead
a mirage it was, all inside my head

Twisted Creatures – Poem by Dragon Blogger

Misc Poems
01 Aug 2009

Twisted Creatures

What are these twisted creatures
With many limbs and creepy features

They dance along the ground at night
Giving humans quite a fright

Spiders, scorpions and crickets too
Shades of red, brown and even blue

Night time critters scattered around
While humans are sleeping safe and sound

Why do most people reel in revulsion
At these creatures, like a compulsion

Through nature our purpose connects
With these simple little insects
