In response to "My cat rests on my pillow"

This is why you need two pillows

.

Or to put it another way... a wise cat always provides an extra pillow for their servant.

In response to "I'll Scream within my Dream"

Time to consider entering this or one of your other recent poems into Poetic Traditions (as you have before).

Nicely done.

In response to "Wish for Summer Snow"

I went from 108 to 35 when I came back to Montana. And yes, it snowed; but, now the heat will finally settle in at the end of June. Oh, how we suffer.

At least in Thailand we had a/c. I will wilt next week.

In response to "Hindsight"

If Christianity is true, would you like to know?

In response to "Hindsight"

My body will feed the worms; my soul will return to its Source.

I'm not Christian so I look at things differently than most folks here at WDC.

In response to "Temptation"

Wonderful rhythm and rhyme. It rolls... And yes, spiders need to eat too. They know where to dine... or they starve.

In response to "Kidder"

I really like this as is but I share some thoughts:

Now go the hell away. Very good use of this line. I'd make it the title unless a specific event or place comes to mind. Like "Workshop, May 32nd, Highway-to-Hell, Nevada".

I'd find active verbs for each use of 'is' and replace each 'the'. Like "May's sky screams blue; Spring's sea blooms green". This provides a season and action, sound, something.

Could use a grammar check unless you like it as is. Grammar is less important in poetry; this isn't an essay. For a definite pause (like for rhythm) you can use an emdash instead of a comma like: "I kid you not — nature's obscene,"

To add "darkness" to it... this is that season...

Explorers with lost souls explore,
Search worlds they've never searched before,
They'll kid you not — forevermore,
Now go the hell away.

In response to "The Lighthouse of Whispers"

Whispers the names of all that suffered because of one's bad choices so that pain is returned.

Infinity

infinity to time
begin rhyme
time to years
tears and cheers
years to days
no delays
days to hours
mankind towers
hours to minutes
know no limits
minutes to seconds
duty beckons
segment in tenths
fast events
a million billion
infinite splits
time to infinity
eternal divinity

Glad You Came

Hello, I'm glad you came
Blame fate for this wicked game
Jake is my middle name
I claim love to be my fame

You have a lovely frame
It's a shame my body's lame
Though I'm too old to tame
My flame burns bright just the same

You are a lovely dame
Now my aim's for full exclaim
And state without disclaim
I still feel so glad you came

Clocks

Clocks no longer tick
but they still keep time
Poets no longer write
using meter or rhyme
The young have fun
while their elders recline.
Friends get together
but not friends of mine.
There's no one here
left to reminisce.
No one wants a dog
if he smells like piss.
A life spent running
away from it all
can only be saved
if they happen to fall.

The Sound of my Pissing

I can't hear her over the sound of my pissing,
So, I don't know what it is that I'm missing,
I hope she'll not think her I'm dissing,
I just can't hear over the sound of my pissing.

The Best Things

There're only two things more satisfying than writing poetry and that is having sex with someone you love and a huge bowl of delicious chili! If you can find a way to combine all three, that would be heaven.
