'Twas in the darkened shadows,
Which were blacker than the night,
I heard the sounds of howling strong,
Two felines in a fight.

A neighbor from a window shouting.
"That's enough, go home!"
A quiet came upon the night,
And never did I roam.

But 'twas only a few minutes past,
The brawl began again,
And in the eyesight of my mind,
I wondered who would win.

A whine, a howl, a howl a whine,
Went ripping through the air.
'Twas not 'til morning would I know,
Just how the two would fair.

I thought I'd see in early light,
The victor or his foe,
But if 'twas not for the night before.
No signs were left to know.

lemmings go to their end
nose to butt
run by millions
to end life's rut

see not themselves
but just run ahead
and over the cliff
to rocks of dread

beware the path
that we all follow
does not lead to
a truth rung hollow

to think the one before
knows the greatest way
may be a bad mistake
leading to lasting dismay

Pitter-patter, pitter-patter
Hoppity-hop, ears go flop!
Silky fur, whizzing like a blur
Beady dark eyes, stocky thighs

Pitter-patter, pitter-patter
Snow-white coat, splashed with color
Browns fading, beige shading
Mocha ears, chocolate smears

Pitter-patter, pitter-patter
Twitching nose, furry, little toes
Long, back feet, somehow discrete
Tiny, round tail, body so frail

Pitter-patter, pitter-patter
Nibbling away without a single delay
Simple ways, curiosity ablaze
Small front paws, cute without flaws

Pitter-patter, pitter-patter…

The dog had run down the street.
The dog got tired from the heat.
He found a tree and took a seat,
and chowed upon a bone to eat.

Good morning!
I waited all night for you!
Aren't you proud of me?
Don't you love me?

Woops, I'll get out of your way.
I'll wait for you
Yay! You came back!
Don't you love me?

Um, ok, have to wait some more.
You're a little bit busy, i can tell.
Isn't that very perceptive of me?
You must love me.

Yay! Breakfast!
Mmmm, bacon and ham!
Yay! Table scraps!
Don't you love me?

Ok, you're spending time wtih your bookbag
and the fun papers.
I'm a little bit bored
But I know you love me more.

We're all alone in the house.
isn't this great?
Where are you?
Do you still love me?

Hey! What are you doing out there?
Where are you going?
Are you coming back?
Do you love me?

I miss you soo much.
My world has no meaning without you.
I have been forgotten.
You do love me, right?

All I can do is sit on the couch
run around
and eat.
Did you ever love me?

It's been an eternity
the doorknob rattles.
Is it you?
You really do love me!

Who are you?
I've never seen you before.
WHO ARE YOU?!
I don't love you.

Ow, my neck.
Hey, get me out of here!
You mean masked man!
I'll never love you!

Let me OUT!!
I miss my couch
my house
my love.

Hey, this bag feels heavier.
Why have we stopped moving?
Where are we?
Will I ever see my love again?

Hey! Don't swing me like that!
Stop it!
Aaah! Why'd you let me go?!
You never loved me!

Umm, I'm still in here!
It's getting really wet!
Thisn isn't any kind of swimming I've done before.
What kind of love is this?

Who's driving away?
There's too much water in here!
I can't breathe!!
I love you.

Well I have one shot left.
I'm bound to be saved now
It's got to work out
It just has to.

The doors open
Time to do or die

Mommy mommy mommy!
I want a kitty!
Ouch, no chance there.

Oh honey, let's get a dog.
Ah here we go.
Not this one
It's misshapen
and is that a bitemark in its ear?
That would give my Lola nightmares.
Love ya too, judgmental b*tch

Hmm let's check out their canine selection
This one looks like it hasn't seen love in a long time
Sad eyes
couple fight scars
underfed, unclean
Let's see what else they have here
Don't forget me, dude!

So, this is the pound.
WOA, look at that mutt I beg your pardon!
He looks so freaky!
Sorry buddy
Darwin takes over now!
thanks for stating the obvious douchebag.

Yea! Yea that's right!
Just walk on through you posers
you window shoppers
You're wasting my time
getting my hopes up when you never
intended to make a commitment.
I'd have bitten your shins for that.

Oh no
It's been forever
and no one else is coming.
Hey! Hey!
People!
We're OPEN!
WE NEED YOUR HELP!
SAVE ME!

Oh crap
No
no
don't take me now
There's more people coming!
I'm sure of it!
Give me some more time!
I'm healthy! I'm clean!
NO
LET ME GO!!
PLEASE ANYTHING BUT THIS!

HELLO?!
SOMEONE PLEASE COME SAVE ME!
HURRY!!
WHERE ARE YOU?!
Buddy, Spike, go get help!
Oh NO

Stop please
you've got the wrong dog!
I don't belong here!
There's gonna be a real sad kid if you do this now, mister!
HEY! Don't Shut that door!
I'm talking to you!
HEY!HEY!HEY!!!

LET ME OUt
NOW, COME on
I HAVE JUST AS MUCH Time
AS THE OTHER dogs
Come on
LEt me out
I'M A GOod boy
please

let me out

help me

someone's coming for me

Cats are furry
Which are always in a hurry
They have good eyesight
Even in the dark light
Cats are quick to see
Like a bumblebee
Cats can land on their feet
Which is hard to beat

a shot o'er the bough brought fear through the night
still, I wish you very much the same
never realizing the terrible chore
the unrealistic claim
that we both were to blame
no matter what our name
and who we chose to shame
or why we play the game
it always ends the same
we're human, expect little more

perspectives pick up the weakness of you now
the softness and bruising inside
I only try to help 'cause I know
the terrible thoughts in your mind
only leave you behind
and others of your kind
friends you may find
if they be of likemind
must have come from the same vine
thus securing that none ever grow

food on the table, but not a bite for me
nourishment? huh? what a joke!
I feed upon your vice and all you say is good
my belly fat with flab
from pronouncements that you blab
your failed attention for to grab
spotlight for diatribe
now you'll never hide
see your darkness deep inside
your heart is black, your mind is merely wood

He comes to me when I feel low.
He looks and senses that somehow.
He gives me reassurance when I feel alone.
He never angers and never moans.

He's been my friend and confidente,
For 15 years and not been paid a cent.
I value him above all my friends.
We don't fight so no need for amends.

He loves me unconditionally,
And I love him as he loves me.
No other has so consistently
Seen me thru troubles and adversity.

When I am blue he knows that too.
He keeps me company just we two.
When I am feeling tired or sick
He comes to me and shares a lick.

If I'm restless and in bed cold
He marches in oh so very bold.
He wraps around my feet and toes
And I really think he truly knows.

He never goes and he never strays.
I'll hold him dear til his final days.
He doesn't have any bad habits,
Unless you consider chasing rabbits.

If you wonder who would be so loyal
Tis my cat that treats me royal.
He is now old and getting thin
But a true and tried friend he's been.

Occassionally complains, seems to talk,
Only because I forget to clean his litterbox.
l'll love him fiercely 'til he's passed away.
And will grieve untold in my own way.

“off and running”

their conversation that night was of plans and a schedule
insightful and humorous, though all too contrite
in a day or so they’d be many miles away
traveling after dark and sleeping each day

the unlimited funds hidden in the trunk
freed their souls of the small stuff and
left their minds free to wander
in search of a new life in that tropicality over yonder

no harm, no foul
no one on their tail
it was a victimless crime
no real fear of doing time

each turn in the road an adventure
how many diners had they passed
they didn’t even try to keep track
they had no thoughts of ever going back

settling by the sea they fished and raised a garden
on weekends played music and danced till dawn
seasons passed and they lived happily ever after
days of decadence and play and unstoppable laughter
