Humans are stupid

Thinking they can hide the cream

From us smarty cats

Sickly Sweet ~ #OctoberWriting #poetry

Halloween, it’s trick or treat

Does that make it sickly sweet?

Would you prefer a devilish trick?

Or perhaps a marshmallow on a stick

Beware the goblins chasing ghosts

They’ll scare you out of your earthly host

Perhaps it’s better to just stay in

Away from all the spirited din

Remember, keep your doors shut tight

And turn on all the outside lights

Watch for witches, and green-eyed cats

And of course, those skeletons, riding bats

Beware of those who come your way

Unfriendly beings are not sweet today

The cold winds begin to blow

And pretty soon, the sky will snow

Please don’t let me stay out here

I need warmth, like you, my dear

I’m just as human as anyone

I love to sit in the shining sun

But when the sun turns much colder

And I, become, a wee bit older

Inside, away, from bitter weather

Is where I’ll feel much, much better

 

Author’s note:  As the colder weather makes its way in, please remember to take in your pets.  Freezing conditions for humans are unbearable.  I can’t imagine what they feel like when forgotten in the cold…

Unconditional Love

14 Wednesday May 2014

animals, cats, dogs, Night Owl Poetry, pets, poems, poetry, puppy, unconditional love

Four paws
racing through the halls
in anticipation
Anxiously awaiting
dancing by the door
tail wagging, tongue hanging
there to greet you with
Unconditional love

In loving memory of Prince, Mimi, Alia, Ripley & Kira, who brought such joy to our lives over the many years. Always in our hearts, never forgotten.
