Love Letters
ymmiJ Mar 2019
Look at this cat he has all the letters.
Parades them around like some kind of peacock feathers.

The letters say he has earned the right.
To tell you what's a worthy plight.
To eat, sleep, and love this way.
Dont' do  as I do, just do as I say!
The letters say he can speak that way.

Big or small he knows them all.
Life, numbers, why does an apple fall
Ask him and he will say, "yes, I know that too".
Heck, I bet he can describe the color blue
to a blind man to boot!

"You shouldn't do this and definitely not that.
You should use maple for your baseball bat.
I should know I played minor league ball.
Well, before I got these letters and all."

He will tell you how hard he worked
and how much he has learned.
Swearing he knows best
and stealing everyone's turn.

After the blubbering, blabbering,
pomp and circumstance.
I came away saying
" am not sure this guy has a chance?"

It's not the letters you have but the words you say
To not have all the answers is OK
It's always pride before the fall.
....and your letters are the least
of them all.
I have no idea why I wrote this or how. I do not study writing in any form and really have no desire to learn a proper way to write. I just write what is given to me and it may ****. But it is written and I fell good doing it. Thanks for reading.

Cheese Hunter
ymmiJ Mar 2019
Really guy? Everyday the same old same
You open my gate and I enter head in shame

What'll it be today?  left right then left again
How long should it take, it really is insane

You always hoping " I got him this round"
But I am what I am and set my nose to ground

A look in your eyes you think I aim to please
Let me put on another show
How hard you hid the cheese

Eider Count
ymmiJ Mar 2019
Bundled up on the Aluetian coast
On some brisk breezy Bering Sea roost
I turn my glass to a young feathered crew
A King Eider mother counting her brood
She counted once then twice
Found her missing wobbler
Fighting under floating ice
Picked pecked and prodded
The little prince finally herded
and nested warm and nice

this is what we get for years of putting trust in fallible men and their greedy ways. Drain it and parking lot it.
