So you want to play.
Will I claw at dancing string?
Your ankle's closer.

----

There's no dignity
In being sick - which is why
I don't tell you where.

----

Seeking solitude
I am locked in the closet.
For once I need you.

----

Tiny can, dumped in
Plastic bowl. Presentation,
One star; service: none.

----

Am I in your way?
You seem to have it backwards:
This pillow's taken.


----

Your mouth is moving;
Up and down, emitting noise.
I've lost interest.

----

The dog wags his tail,
Seeking approval. See mine?
Different message.

----

My brain: walnut-sized.
Yours: largest among primates.
Yet, who leaves for work?

----

Most problems can be
Ignored. The more difficult
Ones can be slept through.

----

My affection is conditional.
Don't stand up,
It's your lap I love.

----

Cats can't steal the breath
Of children. But if my tail's
Pulled again, I'll learn.

----

I don't mind being
Teased, any more than you mind
A skin graft or two.

----

So you call this thing
Your "cat carrier." I call
These my "blades of death."


----

Toy mice, dancing yarn
Meowing sounds. I'm convinced:
You're an idiot.


----

You're ignoring me.
Your most important papers
are such fun to chew.

----

Computer keyboard:
moving fingers, funny sounds -
better than a lap.

---

Strangers in the house.
hidden spot in the basement;
I'll hide 'til it's safe.

Another one I really like but can't remember where I read it is:

I stare at the wall
I do not think it will move
But I can't be sure

I wrote one awhile back and Eric just laughed!
I am SO not that creative. They just made me crack up laughing so I had to share.
