I write the old fashioned way
nostalgic for fine verses,
full of brilliant things to say
with muses for my nurses.
I write so exceptionally well,
attacking my machine with zest.
It makes sure I can spell;
my ghostwriter does the rest!
Echoes of Keats, Byron, Shelley
swirl inside my head
as I pat my sagging belly
while my cat gets it said.
I will yet become a star,
the greatest of rhyming sages.
All my cat has written so far
impresses, astounds, and amazes!
Can't wait to be super great!
I know I will some day.
Always known this is my fate
with such brilliant things to say!

Tiki Cat here, -- now HERE IS THE TRUTH:
All above is so much guff.
For Ellis I do it all.
I'm the one who has the touch,
Ellis writes on the wall.
There is no hope for Ellis,
I do it all for him.
Too dense to be even jealous,
He pets me now and then.
So Ellis and I get along
Very well indeed.
People now, don't get this wrong:
It's me who makes this place succeed.
Ellis does not write a thing.
Nowhere is his poetry seen.
Tiki Cat writes everything.
Tiki Cat is Poetry Queen!
I know this cause I am she.
It's all written entirely by me.
Ellis does not write a line.
GET THAT THOUGHT OUT OF YOUR MIND!
I, Tiki Cat, really should be
The one you have to come to see
About the changes that we need
For this website to succeed.
It is such an obvious thing,
The change that I intend to bring.
All that's posted here must rhyme,
No free verse at any time.
Blank verse is not poetry.
It's as blank as a calm sea.
Free verse free of poetry
Is the same as prose to me.
It's a poem if it rhymes.
If it doesn't make sure it dies.
You must rhyme all the time,
Or we'll have to charge you fines.
Tiki Cat, Your (true) Hostess

I sail ahead it is said
Who knows where I am going -
It's not possible to make him purr.
He just sits and will not stir. -
I aimed my telescope out my window to look at the stars.
It turned my life around and upside down, seeing Mars. -
I should not this year have come boating,
My worst fear has come to be. -
Like everyone else, "I must be rich," I thought.
To be happy is owning more than others own. -
All there is has its forms
All animals, minerals, and plants

Lauren Noir on June 19I just saw, on my page, last year you left a comment
It made me smile like this:

footballdiva09 : Greetings Old Friend! on June 9Hey Tiki Cat! Remember Me?
I used to write lots of poetry!
But I got lost, and left the site,
Waiting for a time that was right
To return here and write! But what a crime,
I just didn't feel like I had time to rhyme.
I thought of you, dear Tiki Cat.
You pushed me to rhyme, and I thank you for that.
So now I think I may just return
To see if my passion for writing still burns.
And I won't forget you, my furry friend,
But I'm sorry this rhyming comment must end!
Good to see you again!
Debbie
