Poem #534
kitten on my shoulder
skip in my step
smile near my eyes
adventure in my heart
Poem #533
in the middle of downtown Eugene
a family lives together
in the 2nd floor apartment
two dogs and fours cats
and life is easy
husband cooks dinner
wife waters plants
kid does his homework
grandma knits her sweaters
and it feels right
Poem #532
a noise in an empty house
I wonder if I will die tonight
Poem #531
moo moo
chew grass
tip over

wallpapered bedroom
corner windows
and a new Buddy
Poem #529
we revolve around a black sun
I’m a planet
she’s a comet
or maybe vice versa?
I’m space junk
she’s an asteroid
maybe we orbit
maybe we float
but definitely in this star system
the darkness is so bright
the heat is so cold
gravity pulls us closer
Poem #527
the actuary read an Wikipedia page
his eyes bulged as he read:
“Death from laughter”
straightaway, he cancelled his cable
and his dentist appointment
and a dinner with an old friend
he refused to laugh
even as his face reddened
even when his cat played a fool
his sister found him dead
in his closet
his fingers clenching his shirt
coroner examined him
and determined he died from stress
too bad he didn’t see that Wikipedia page
Poem #526
some days I feel closer
to laughing hysterically
and just leaving everything
Poem #525
knead knead
on the blanket
purr purr
in the ear
swish swish
of the tail
