Pdlyons's ExplorationsJust a Cat
No longer
Will morning find you pondering the flight of birds
You won’t
Trip me in the kitchen, a bandit circling – like I’d forget the milk
Up on the bed
Attack everything beneath the duvet
Purr with my daughter and the Barbies
Watch some favorite TV show.
No more my little one
Trust me to carry you like a slip of black velvet still sleeping in my hands
No. No more because
Some ignorant bastard drove like a maniac and thought, oh just a cat

Dance of Childhood
PEACE IS AN EVOLUTION NOT REVOLUTION
William in the grass
Briefly
as everything is in this life
we shared slapstick
and manic
some
unforgettable
wonders
and still all those questions never to be answered
now knowing this
something quiet
peace descends
a lacy feel of breath
not deep
not in or out
but
there
.
The Other Days
unsettled
grey rains across the lake
even the fire duller now
as if unable to breathe
your absence
airless
and without remedy
~~~~~~~~~~~~
Catzen
Every moment
Of sunlight
The cat
Knows
Just what to do

Shelly Gone To America
Rain whispers
Through my open window
Night again
Without you
C 2009 pdlyons poetry
Should The Question Beg For Answer
will the water be beautiful?
will I thank every drop of the sea?
the sky, will it be so blue,
I’ll find ships sailing in the clouds?
and emearald and hawthorn
would i lay down there again?
rise to wander mists by fairy lakes
secret women drift in sleek wolfhound shapes
lead by old and limping men
between hedgerow and dirt lanes?
speak with mallard fox and silent swan?
their stories told of long ago
when black cats and tabby cats,
small black terriers through stone walls and brier
sure and steady tacked
all possibility of horses
(for Lilly n the gang)
old tom tabby
i wasn’t the only one
saw you this a.m.
white tip tail dog
elderly master
no match for the lead.
The Other Days
unsettled
grey rains across the lake
even the fire duller now
as if unable to breathe
your absence
airless
and without remedy
