Chasing nimble and numb-
for who's to succumb
to the measure and maze
of ye oft-faring craze?
None for maids after noon
with the now-empty spoon,
naught as well for the cat
who fell just... like that!
Author notes
Inspired by another poem by "Chasingtheday". ARrrrrrrh...Thanks bud.
NOTE: This does NOT advocate drunkeness..ha!

Spill Ink
Spill ink and twist me
into the crazy shape of love
as I chase the day's madness.
Gather up the quiet folds
which slip in the unique spirit;
high wired individuality.
Smile out scattered thoughts
that break cold knuckled frowns
with flaps of feathered motion.
Here I will sit and wrap up
the trails of language
and create origami shapes.

oh, m'gosh. I don't think you missed a thing there.

Cat's Can Not Fly
The pigeon
blinked
menacingly
and flapped
a wing teasingly.
Fur rose on
the back
of the cat,
little growls
in the throat
danced through
the open window:
just a crack
to the let the air in.
"Come on",
cooed the pigeon
as feathers ruffled.
Up, up and out now - splat!

I needed a laugh and that's what I got reading this. Great work. It's cute and simple. It's amazing how great a poem can be when you just let go and have fun. Great work here. I enjoyed reading your other work as well. Best wishes!
