Tan Pratonix Poems

If I were a Jibjib Cat
With whiskers on my face,
Then I would wear a little hat
Trimmed with silver lace.
...

If I were a Woofy Dog
With a waggy tail,
Then I would learn to catch a frog
And ride upon a whale.
...

Like a summer rain she fell
That hot September hour
And caught unawares he was drenched,
He lost all power
...

(**A humorous rant while the kettle descants**)

I attribute the decline and fall of America
to their obsession with coffee.
...

The scattered leaves
shook with life
and flung the air
with swirls of dust;
...

There's a beauty in the night
That sets all heaven alight
With a million tiny stars
That shine like gems for hours,
...

My emotions
Gushing from a deep and unknown well
Drift through the turbulent ocean
Of this world and dwell
...

Rare are the moments of grief
And unlikely to heal.

There was a time I spoke unfeelingly
...

In my heart I heard
The cry of a child,
In my mind
The shriek of the damned,
...

At the mouth of the river where tall grasses grow,
Where no hunter hunts with hounds nor bugles blow,
Where the carefreeness of life lets rabbits roll -
My thoughts go scampering softly down a rabbit hole.
...
