Dapple
Dappled light and shade /
scatter across the young cat /
soundlessly rippling.

One tries
One lies and one stands, /
cat in darkness, dog in light. /
Wonder and return.

Ah, that stray cat /
hiding out in search of /
a stolen breakfast.

Grins
Tabby cat grins. /
Sunlight weaves through the March trees. /
Warmth shakes off its coat.

My cat
Even as the world grows /
odd, my old cat still purrs and /
demands his dinner.

Possum
One winter’s night /
a dish rattles; a possum /
scavenges cat food.

Ripples
Each drink a ripple. /
Each ripple a crest in time /
caused by a cat’s tongue.

“Fainting tree”
Fainting tree
Oh, those fainting Christmas trees.
They are a sight to see,
Can’t be left alone, can’t be.
You went to spread some cheer,
So let me be clear,
It wasn’t me here,
It was the cat.
Like the serpent in the tree,
She tempted me
And now you see
Where we’re at.
She challenged me,
Said I couldn’t be free,
That there would be
No Christmas present for me
Unless I ran around the tree
And that’s when it went ker-splat.
It fainted dead away.
I don’t know what to say.
It fainted that way.
The power cord’s now frayed.
Yes, it happened today.
I blame the cat.
Yes, sparks flew,
There was a spark or two,
Arcing a translucent blue,
Singed the cat through and through.
No, I don’t know where she’s at.
So, those fainting Christmas trees,
Looks like they just can’t be
Left unattended, you see.
I think we can right the tree,
Set it up to be
Fully faint free
With no cat calamity
Without the cat.
