little poems for little critters

akhil faizal

for miniscule, prufrock and goodnight

1

little kitty cat 

a little city kat

in kettle kitty sat 

a settled kitty cat

2

today was his lucky day,

the beaming bee was speeding free

reeling sweet honey from everywhere.

today was the lover bee’s lucky day,

when he would be the best lover bee

for his queen bee today.

3

once there was a little compact car

and a tiny kitty car sleeping on its bonnet 

everywhere the car went, from near to far

the kitty car too would soon get on it.

4

the fawn feeds full on flowers

her lover dog drowns his day in dreams,

a slow dawn falls on the lovers

and their binding breaths in between.

5

a curled slumber churns the cat

sleeping with a speaking rat,

mumbling sleepily, “blessed are the meek”;

a meow tucks in with a metered squeak.
