Desert Stargazer's Poetry

KIT KAT KITCHEN​

​

Shuffle in and pet the cat
feed the cuss
to keep him fat
the atmosphere
is growing tense
the rumble of
the Catulence !

Snow is coming
and coming hard
send the kitty
to the yard

Watch him as
he disappears
laugh so hard
you're making tears

The snow becomes
a yellow cloud
the Catulence
is growing loud

The neighbors look
to catch the scene
they call your cat
The Kitty Bean

Scratch...toss "hefty sound"
Gumper squats and fools around
he climbs back out
and caterwauls
while the early snowflake falls

He returns to the litter
and tries once more
leaps on you
then hits the door

He has to "fizz" but something's wrong
he bursts into the Kitty Song:

"Mrrowl Mgggggurk and Hissy fit
dammit master
my feet are grit
close the blinds
and then I'll go
I refuse to give the world a show"

You oblige the cat
you bought as a kitten
but just for spite
he wets your mitten

You dye him purple
to get even with him
no more cream
you switch to skim

The midnight clock
strikes right on time
he narrows his eyes
he's Frank cat stein

haha I loved the second one!!!

 

~* Sorry if this comes off sounding mean, it isn't meant to be, but I've been offline for 12 days and came back to a torrent of posts. One thing I noticed is you don't mind posting your poetry and assumably you do for people to respond to it. I failed to notice where you responded to anyone elses. If you are an extremely prolific writer (and that would appear to be true) one thread is better than flooding many at once as it gives others a chance for their work to get seen as well. Either that or just post a couple at a time. Personally I won't respond to anyone that doesn't take the time to repond to others poems. I feel thats selfish not to give back. Thats why so many other poetry boards have rules that for every post, you have to respond to two others first. I'm very glad that we don't have rules like that but I understand why they do. If I don't post to yours again, at least you know why. Thanks *~

I've enjoyed some of the things you have written but was unable to read all. I have to admit total enjoyment and understanding to the last one since I have a household full of cats and at the moment trying to blend my three with my daughter's two since she just moved back home for a bit. Dying em purple is starting to sound good right about now too, lol

 

Gdhmomchild. Yes you sound mean. Please don't dictate to me.

 

Thank you Bhaskar ! I am glad you have a sense of humor. Life without it is fatal.

 

I don't dictate. It's an opinion on manners and an explanation if I don't post to your work in the future. I did however at least take the time to respond to your poem, which I see you ignored totally,lol. Mean is a totally callouse and rude response which I don't think I stooped to, but I know some people see any criticism as mean so thats why I prefaced it by saying it wasn't meant to be and also said I was glad we didn't have any rules on posting like other boards do. Sorry if I offended little one, wasn't meant to and maybe you will see that eventually.

 

The Poet Gestapo....held onto her mop-o..and when she was done she ate buckets of slop-o....her house still a mess....what more to confess.....she spins in a haze of Beatnik Be Bop-o. The kettle starts screaming as hubby lays dreaming...and a fork plays a sad melody...but never fear.. the stranger is near....the music sounds just right to me. Feb 11 2005 Desert Stargazer

 

LOL, shows how much you don't know. Thanks for an insight into the void. Oh yeah, one other thing, thanks for pointing out the difference in what mean really is. That was a rude and meanspirited lil piece of shit there

Conversations often fly,
brain in neutral,
tongue in high

 

Right, couple of things. Firstly, i like the poems, they're good fun and work quite well.

Second thing is thoug, quit the bitching, chill out my friends! You may feel the critisism is harsh, but that happens in life. Dont retalliate, and gdhmomchild, dont you retalliate either. Chill out, love, dont hate!

 

Hissy Fit Hissy fit.....cat hair will fly....ride my back ride my back.....here's mud in your eye !

 

I simply posted Poems....like many others do. I don't recall targeting anyone. Aries women don't take guff from those we may percieve to be somewhat Guttersnipish. I don't wear my belt up around my chest, nor do I have the word "doormat" on my forehead.

 

Guttersnipe? Look chick!! all I did was post in an open forum. I was polite enough to comment to your poetry. I was polite enough to explain why I probably wouldn't be posting again. Wtf you do or don't do, I really couldn't give a shit. If your knickers are inna tight bunch because I stated my opinion, maybe you should wait till you grow up before posting in an open forum. This is the meanest personal comment I've made directed towards you, and that was after your colorfully and totally incorrect picture you tried to paint of me, which was indeed, a meanspirited piece of work! Guttersnipe? My morality is just fine, and so is my station in life and since I own my house I couldn't be considered homeless either. And I guess the repost below still stands.

ha! cat milk spilt, don't cry, create, good thread!

 

Cat paws from the Ozarks....Let's examine the logic behind your "magnanamous gestures" You initially criticised me for posting "too much" because you had been away 12 days, and lo and behold the "selfish" Desert Stargazer hasn't "praised" anyone's Poetry according to your personal "Tally Masters Incredible Roster of proper protocol" Then you throw in a "like it" comment for one of my poems. Slap me with one hand, and pat me on the back with the other ? That's like me telling you how to iron clothes, and criticise you because you are not also ironing your neighbors things, and that you are "selfish". Then, as a gesture of good will, I comment on your "lovely little pillowcase". I have dealt with people like you all my life. And please stop commenting, and focusing on my knickers..people will talk! You were "polite enough to explain why you wouldn't be posting" so why are you still posting ? If you wish to keep spewing, by all means, do so, but please start your own thread. I will post as many poems as I am allowed, and most people enjoy them. I have 700 on over 4 combined sites, and simply like to share. If I am causing problems, the administrators know how to put the fear into me.

 

Chris, thanks for the advice. I deal with American Neo Cons all day, so coming here is like a vacation.

 

WHOAH!!!!! Ladies!!! Chill out!!! What we have here is a failure to communicate.

Desert, all mom was saying was that it is kinda unfair to post a lot of threads of your own poems at once, because it pushes others off the front page. Also, everyone here is posting so they can get feedback on their writing, so it is common courtesy to give people that feedback (whether good or bad...she never asked you to kiss any ass). I think that is totally fair. To keep posting your stuff without giving others any feedback is kinda selfish. So is hogging the front page.

And mom, lets be a little patient here. You made your point with the first post, if she isnt going to listen, let it go, there is no use in getting angry and reacting, it just snowballs into a fight, nobody gains anything.

Well, not exactly nobody...I saw some nice lil catfight haiku-like poems out there. Lets keep the peace children.

 

I would never personally accuse any of the Poets of hogging the boards. They post what they post when they Post it. I can accept that without peevish resentment. Some post many Poems at once, and then get busy with other things. NO ONE is ever obligated to respond to Poems. This isn't a blog, or a CULT is it ? Shouldn't people be free to respond based on the urge to share information ? If we had someone named Big Haired Todd who posted 100 Rasta poems a day, I WOULDN'T CARE.

 

Would it not be a bit boring though. Come on, one hundred! thats like, lots!

Anyway, bhaskars making a fair point, and, in his words, chill out ladies!

 

Stargazer, I dont get why you are getting so worked up. All we are asking is that you post all your poems in one thread, and consider giving other people some feedback.

There are no rules, you are free to do what you like, you can post as much as you want, you neednt reply to anyone.

But there is such a thing as being nice, politeness and courtesy, having some kind of consideration for others' needs and feelings. You can choose not to bother about things like that. But it makes the world a slightly nicer place when people do.
