Lethargy

Cat purrs
Jon snores
His book open
To one twenty-four

Read off
To land of guns
First Crusades
And violent Huns

Sunbeam glistens
Squirrels hoard
Cat stretches
Wife's bored

Exposed foot
Captures attention
Not an ounce
Of tickle prevention

Finger wiggles
Husband's yell
Smacked with pillow
Funny as hell!

lazy man

it gives me memories of a wonderful summer day with a book,lawn-chair and a playful girl-friend! love your lanquage and rythym of it. it made it seem like a spur of the moment piece of mischief. good work! perception is a matter of perception. gee.

LOL, thanks, gents...

Geezer - Usually I just put words on a page, and don't really go for a set rhythm.... thought I'd try to establish one for this poem, and I'm glad it came through good. Steven - Definitely based on a true story! Serves him right, as he woke me up a few days ago by flicking my ear. Revenge is so sweet sometimes! Thanks to you both for stopping by. ~Jess K. ---------------------------------------------------- -"Just because you have one, doesn't mean you need to be one..."

Thanks RM

I've been accused of being very long-winded, so I thought I'd try to shorten up the lines a little. Glad it has worked so far. ~Jess K. ---------------------------------------------------- - "I wound her up, an' I shifted down, an' I offered this prayer to my Lord: Said, God, get me back home to Houston alive, an' I won't drive a truck anymore..." - Steve Earle

Hi Jess

It sound as though the two of you have a lot of fun. Fun little poem, too. I smiled at 'wife's bored' also. The rhyme was tight and right. I like your current picture a lot. It shows your face off really well. Although, I think I like the pensive looking one on a street corner the best. Sincerely, Deelilah
