Half a Bottle In
Half a bottle in
And the dogs are barking
Abandoned by their owners
Hungry for love
Like all of us
They have their duties
And loyalties
And hates too
Cats, burglars
A godless moon
Enjoy a game
A little attention
Good food & clean water
A roof over their heads
Shelter from sun & rain
Simple needs
A wash now & then
Walks if they’re lucky
Beach if they’re pampered
Tongues licking the air
Stolen from mothers
Sold & traded off
Siblings but memories ...

BLUEBERRY LOVED
BLUEBERRY LOVED
I always toss out broken bread
and peanuts for my friends, and always
make certain that the crystal dish is filled
with cool fresh water.
What began as nothing has become
a streaming nature preserve of
consistent unconfined flow of
my nature pets. They are fed. They are
free. They always come back to me.
That is the way it should be.
The blue jay hopped up to
take a drink, not uttering a
single disappointed shriek as
it sipped the cool water within
a wasteland now devoid of nuts.
NO NUTS....

Animal House
Animals are spending to much time with people and that's a fact
My dog attacked me from the rear trying to commit a sexual act
My cat usually serious thought that this was something to laugh at
While he's rolling around laughing the rats are moving back
Haha my coy fish aren't coy, they are starting to annoy
They are spending more time watching me than they ever did before
The birds outside are always knocking wanting to borrow or come in
Just how many cups of sunflower seeds should a neighbor have to lend
Some one gave me a python...

A friend so shy
For if you leave a dish of milk,
some scraps that you would never miss.
Your kindness reap rewards
and on such tiny legs, not stilts.
A visitor may broach, and take his fill
Leave his dry and comfy nest
and chance the cars upon the road.
The lottery, and be exposed
small bravery, for treats in store
A cartoon character of joy?
a Tiggywinkle come to call.
is he or she. that soft and fluffy toy
that snuggles in a preserving ball
They be the gardeners right hand man
control the garden pest, where they prevail...
some scraps that you would never miss.
Your kindness reap rewards
and on such tiny legs, not stilts.

My Baby Doll - Part IV
You were like a daughter to me and I was like a dad.
Your death was heart-breaking because it was so bad.
I got the idea to call you my baby doll because that was what Mom called her cat.
In August of 2013, my house became your new home and that's where you died at.
It has been one year since you died.
You were a great dog and that can't be denied.
I found you dead in my kitchen at about ten o'clock.
I would've rather had my head bashed in by a rock.
I was very upset and I knew that I wouldn't get any sleep so I stayed up most of the night. ...

Belle's Beast
She was beaten into a crumpled pile, he never feared as he approached
There was the smell of tortorus pain all around, the walls of realm broached
Lost in the wilderness of her mind, where her abuser left her for dead
Some how her finder could her the words of abuse in her head
He could hear the words echoing, "slut" and "whore" all around
He could feel the giant fist continually pounding her down
Treated as a dog, made to crawl on all four
Yes, hold on Lil Momma, let me open the door
He could had kicked it in, but why inflict more pain ...

Porch Sitting
Fireflies surround me.
Can they feel me?
White moth flutters around.
Where did it go?
Strange bird says hello.
Strange as in stranger.
My mind is like a feather.
I'm gifted with light feeling.
Can they feel me?
White moth flutters around.
Where did it go?
Strange bird says hello.
Strange as in stranger.
My mind is like a feather.
