Flash Flood by Kristina Woodhill A horrid morning To be the neighbor's outside cat Idaho south easterly Up early and hard at work Flapping at our own cat door, Daring anyone to answer Rain coursing and cursing, Gutterless, Down west bedroom window Like mad men Streaking to grab This week's Trending market Rushing and pushing, Wet and sweaty; Shouldering overworked words, Smearing clever graphics Like long-tailed semen Heading straight down To no opening; There will be no break-throughs today Like some splatter artist En plein air, Monochromatic, Monodirectional, Dismissive of gallery viewing All washing Over the sill's sharp cliff Followed by a torrent Of “let-me-in!” frantic pounding, Tears from the middle east, Migrating Into various countries' suspicious black holes, Streaming steadily Weary clouds forming In great waiting lines Around and around the globe Around And around 12/10/2015 Posted on 12/10/2015 Copyright © 2026 Kristina Woodhill Return to the Previous Page   pathetic.org Version 7.3.2 May 2004 Terms and Conditions of Use 0 member(s) and 2 visitor(s) online All works Copyright © 2026 their respective authors.
