“Cats and Dogs…
Need I say more?”
Gun Roswell
Mr Diesel with Vänster the Cat
Under the covers
A sister and a brother
“Please,
Us do not bother!”

Caturday: The Girl, Dog and Cat
The girl happily around struts
In her new rock’n’roll haircut
“What, what, what???”
The dog could not believe that stuff
The cat had her own opinion
“It’s obvious she was influenced by the minions”

“Ready for our close-up,
Miss DeSolingius”
The trio shouted
As, in front of the camera
They all strutted

“Shadows of a thousand years rise again unseen,
Voices whisper in the trees, “Tonight is Halloween!”
~Dexter Kozen
Water
Nightly Reflections
Scary darkness surrounding
My heart is wildly pounding
The waves in the distant sounding
A flicker of light in the distance
Easing my earlier resistance
Now walking towards the pier
Mind still filled with fear
Behind me, dragging my gear
Finally arriving at my destination
Looking at the dark water with hesitation
Chewing my thumb
But the time has come…
To dive in
Sinking into the dark waters
And maybe, just maybe
This is my slaughter
Shedding humanity
And becoming the sea lady
Or maybe, just maybe
I have finally learnt
The lesson taught…
And how to dive

Bench
Halloween Night on the Bench
Surrounded by misty air
Missed the last fare
Sitting on the park bench
Wishing I had worn a trench
The eerie surroundings
Leaving my heart pounding
Not a soul in sight
On this mystical night
Wrapping my coat tighter
My mood getting lighter
But, suddenly
Noises kind of scuffly
Maybe finally, I will have some luck
And get unstuck
Cursing to myself “Oh hell and fuck!”
But then a glimpse of hope
Not exactly the transport of the Pope
But a carriage of sorts
“It’ll have to do” I snort
Waving my hand; it stops

“When witches go riding,
and black cats are seen,
the moon laughs and whispers,
‘tis near Halloween.”

Tales
The cat hissed
Her tail totally frizzed
The witch loudly laughed
Stirring her brew with the wooden shaft
“Fear not, my furry kitten
It is not you who will be eaten
It is only the humans, who should be scared”
The witch said with an evil glare
For not many knew
Of the secret, reserved only for a few
The powers witches can share
For those really fair
So better be ware
Of all others take good care
Or at least your own litter
And maybe then
A little something for you the witches leave
Tonight, on all hallows eve

the cold air, the spooky dangers lurking around the corner.”

Monsters and Super Freaks
Darkness surrounds me
In every corner do I see
Scary monsters lurking
Soon enough, freaking
Footfalls getting closer
I look over my shoulder
Fight or flight?
Did not even bring a knife
Picking up the pace
Looking for a hiding place
Nothing can be found
I turn around
Standing paralyzed
Totally petrified
Watching helplessly
Facing the enemy
Feeling hopeless
When a dark figure approaches
Scary Monsters, Super Freaks?
If lucky, geeks
Huffing and puffing
Its legs loudly scuffing
It stops in front of me
Looking at me, curiously
It’s mouth opening suddenly
With a voice leary
“Got a light deary?”

“Time spent with cats is never wasted” Sigmund Freud
Happy National Cat Day!
Happy with my kitty
So I wrote this little ditty
Why don’t you sing along
To the tune of this familiar song
Soft kitty, warm kitty
Purring on my lap
Sleepy kitty, happy kitty
Why don’t I too take a nap
My little ball of fur
Listening to you purr
Life is kind of a blur
But this is how I prefer

“A black cat crossing your path:
Usually signifies,
that the animal is going somewhere”
Groucho Marx
Black Cat for Caturday
Sleepy eyes
Still a spy
In this house
Maybe a mouse?
‘Oh that louse
Will not escape
My scrape!
No, not this time
No, that would be
A big crime!’
