Noir’s Lament

Noir’s Lament

I do not like this. Not one tiny bit.

“Oh, Bbbrrraaaadleeeee-poo-yeeeowwww”…honestly I don’t know what my mistress sees in you.

Today was the last straw. No one but me, the beautiful Noir, is allowed to rub up against my darling mistress the way you just did.

What was my crime, but love for my mistress? Love, and a gallant attempt to protect her from the smelly likes of you! How dare you toss me outside like a common alley cat.

I am no alley cat, I’ll have you know. And you, Mr. Suave and Debonair, you are no gentleman!

bright mornings like
this
beautiful blue, sunlit skies
deceive
notice how the birds keep
silent vigil on tree limbs amidst frigid air, breathless

March Pi-Archimedes #6

By Kat Myrman

clockwork

the second hand
convulses
devouring moment after moment
lost
to history, never to return
the only way to capture time is to breathe

The Blatherskite

By Kat Myrman

The Blatherskite

loquacious
quibblers are fluent
nigglers who
will nitpick
vociferously…it’s best
to listen and nod

A Shadorma for Colleen Chesebro’s Tanka Tuesday Poetry Challenge – Synonyms Only – Poet’s choice. For my words I chose Dictionary.com’s most recent words of the day: Pettifog – quibble, niggle, nitpick & Voluble – loquacious, fluent, vociferous. I couldn’t resist packing all these beautiful words into one outrageous poem.
