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

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
...

The full stop and the comma
Had an argument.
The full stop said, “It’s over! ”
But the comma would not relent.
...

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