Growling Funk

Put this corduroy cat out,
give her only fish-eyed dirt –
it is moister than green grass,
less porcelain to devour.

Bleed the soft morning air
See eternity throb
Listen, dance, surround joy

Go! Do young night growl –
delicious, ferocious, wet heart.

Permission to write, paint, and imagine are the gifts I gave myself when chronic illness hit - a fair exchange: being for doing. Relevance is an attitude. Humour essential.

  1. such a delightful play of words, I love the use of unusual pairing of words that make more sense than ordinary phrases. this one is really a shadow of the real world we live in. I do like this one very much

      1. really? i very seldom edit my writing, its from the notebook I carry around straight to wordpress or wherever else I am writing, I admire the pains you take to create.

      2. haha! no experience just very reckless and a little lazy! the crafting of writing is a good point of discussion though, we do need some reflection on some of the poems or prose we write.

  2. This is challenging! I’ve just being playing around at their site. You did well! I love that you can get kits for your fridge, that could be a whole lot of family fun!
