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

Appetizers

The beauty in this fine food
puts you into a peculiar mood

Jovial taste buds buzzing in delight
lips rhythmical in a smacking fight

The last bite has you reminiscing
taste you have always been missing

Like a chemical flavor enhancer
one that doesn’t cause cancer

A little sick twisted depravity
a trajectory involving simple gravity

Catching the piece in your mouth
it could have missed and went south

One tender morsel is all that is left
you would unfriend whomever commits this theft

The final piece ingested by you
meal consumed you then bid adieu

Damaged Cabinets is about a carpenter who sees imperfection in his work only to realize he was seeing things. It was inspired by the 9 random words (in blue) provided by the following twitter followers:

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

18 Aug 2009

For todays light hearted rhyming poem about an owner being assaulted by dogs, I was challenged to rhyme the word orange and gave it my best shot. Â Today’s random twitter poem included 11 words (in blue) provided by the following twitter followers:
@concisionflux (fraught), @teleken (orange), @franscud (bottomless), @anefallarme (appalled), @nitinbarman (pleasure), @RemBeatZ (Polyphonic), @supertroll (dog), @filigreegirl (xanthrocroid), @santasdevil (plunder), @phawkenson (hostility), @worryknot (equipoise)

Barking Dogs

Bottomless barking, bright and orange
a constant repeating polyphonic melange

A wagging tail indicating their happy pleasure
hopeful gazes, waiting for an edible treasure

No fraught hostility to be found here
Jumping dogs in equipose, no reason to fear

Xanthrocroid like terrier, no intention to plunder
knocks over your packages, a misintentioned blunder

For a moment a dog is temporarily stalled
the look on your face appearing quite appalled

They lap up the mess, a floor covered in pie
all you can do is throw your hands up and sigh
