Writings
Start ABC
A start is standard concept
But a huge struggle
Complicated concept, contrasted
Due to its very nature
Everything began at one point
Final to exist
Grand phenomena is daily matter
Having been reused in every juncture
Inventions are inductions
Joining gears to become new
Kindred spirits sharing laughter
Laughter made me us anew
Maybe what will exist was made
Nothing lost in time and place
Only ...
Zoo
Another day,
Beginning slow.
Chilling in my cave,
Damn, I’m brave.
Echoeing roars,
Following amores.
Gaining weight,
Having food,
Irresistable taste.
Joining my friends,
Killing some bugs,
Laughing in defense,
Marking my spots,
Nourishing plants,
Organic ants,
Pissing in trees,
Quaking in breeze
Rolling in grass
Shaking my fur,
Teasing a stir.
Us in enclosures,
Valleys of visitors,
We’re the expos...
Man’s Best Friend
A ray of sunshine pierces through the
Blinds. A yawn splits my maw as I rise.
Can’t wait. Gotta pee. Tail wagging,
Dainty nails clacking on hardwood.
“Early bird gets the worm,” I tell my mom.
“F- off,” she grumbles but I bark again.
Guess she wants to do this the
Hard way. I howl my fury.
It’s time to get up, my bark pleads.
Just get up and let me pee!
“Keep your tail on!” Mom grumbles and I sm...
Morning Cat
Aa! I’m awake. No need to yell.
Breakfast is ready? Yay! This day is going well.
Catnip is better, but I’ll wait for that at lunch
Drinking this water is filling me up a bunch
Every day, I like to play in the sun
For it is warm, and it is fun!
Grass is golden, and the wind is peaceful
Hmph! Don’t pick me up! It’s distasteful
I like the ground, so please don’t touch me
Just like that, she...
The World Bleeds
Another morning comes
But I can’t help but wonder
Could this morning have been different?
Different if the humans didn’t ruin it I ponder?
Even after all their attempts to fix it
Fires have been unleashed upon my world
Gases bursting through the air
Hurricanes and tornados whirl
I don’t understand how humans
Justified their greedy needs
Knowing that hell will be unleashed
Later all the world...
A Day In The Life Of Deuce
Awake at 7 to whine for food
Bounds down the stairs as fast as he can
Circle goes his tail as he waits with delight
Devouring his food as fast as he can
Eagerly drinks his water and goes back upstairs
Flops down for another nap, satisfied
Gets up a few times to lay down again
He waits to be let outside
If it’s nice it’s time to sun himself in the grass
Just lounging and rolling around
Knotting ...
