Sugary Rats & Bats

A weird thing is love

Its prongs piercing

The murkiest of hearts

Sly as a weasel’s fart

Bamboozling truth

In peppered lanes

In the most cunning

Hardwired brains

Making hardcore felons

Love struck rats

Sing in icky, sugared pain

A weird thing is love  

Making men out of trolls

Trolls out of men   

For the love of witches

Slyly posing as women

Caustic below.....

Candy above......

Brooms tucked in hems

A weird thing is love

LOL I have a pair of those spectacles... you know, the rosy ones:/ the problem is i cant see very well without spectacles so i rarely take them off. Now you might be thinking Bunny why don't you just change your prescription? And my response generally is I love to see the beauty in everything, even if i get hit over the head with the occasional broomstick:)

Thank you dear Bunny :) Watch that broomstick though ;)

you tickle me with your penetrating blues shinning an out of the box reality check...I wish I could have read you when I was riding those storms...love your insight...plan to shape it with growth to appreciate...a rose while it is in bloom...the dead rose petals have and will always be layered in our terra strata incognita...

[Dhara_Ditzy Kat]

Thanks dear albee. Such a sweet and kind review on this silly piece of mine. You're right about growth. It should be timely. I can't thank you enough for your words!

Now isn't this true! Love does change many people, for better or worse! I adore how witty and funny this poem is, and I can't tell you how much I love that GIF of that cat filing its nails above, also! Haha!

[T.S. Ulmus]

"sing in icky, sugared pain" a great line which about sums up my experience with love. You put out a great piece here, many wonderful turns of phrase. There have probably been a billion poems about love, I've contributed my share, what a many splendored thing that someone can always find something new to say about it. You did a great job mixing bitter with sweet, as is deserved by the great and terrible thing (the weird thing) that is love.

Sugar and spice a weasel's fart, Martin aint nice.
Trolls and brooms in every room running around caught on zoom.
Love, it will lift you up, it will kill you, but we all want on the journey, if anything just to say, Kilroy was here.

[Dhara_Ditzy Kat]

I dunno what hit me like a ton of s**t
I'm getting lifted now bit by little bit
Hahahahaha! I love zoom.
Thank you muchly, Paul.

It sure does blind us to the many flaws that lie hidden beneath the surface of the one we desire. Sly as a weasel's fart? I had no idea they did that slyly! Lol. As they say, sugar is not good for us and certainly not sugary rats and bats, especially in this covid era! It's a clever write, Dhara. Your attitude shines forth in your words here.

[Dhara_Ditzy Kat]

Thanks dear Inessa. The weasels fart was just something I made up to rhyme. I love sugar so this poem is actually a warning to myself as most of my teeth are gone and you know how terrible that is for a cat! Tq.

[John Alexander McFadyen]

Absolutely adored this! It has such a touch of sardonic wit and portrays the power of 'love' to reduce anyone to emotional locked-in-syndrome. In a flowing rhyming piece that can be consumed with ease!

[Dhara_Ditzy Kat]

I try to do light and easy pieces these days. Works better for me. Thank you John. :)

HAHAHA!
Astutely observed.
and succinctly put.
Painfully accurate, that. Despite how hard I may have laughed.

[Dhara_Ditzy Kat]

Ooooh! Look who's here! Our very own choco man! You can put the hamper near the door before you scoot. Thank you!
*Says the wise, beaming kitty*

[Dripping Chocolate Madness]

:)
Yes, ma'am.
Don't mind me, I'll just...
RUN FOR IT!!!

[Dhara_Ditzy Kat]
