The Old Gumbie Cat

I have a Gumbie Cat in mind, her name is Jennyanydots;
Her coat is of the tabby kind, with tiger stripes and leopard spots.
All day she sits upon the stair or on the steps or on the mat;
She sits and sits and sits and sits-and that's what makes a Gumbie Cat!

Art's Martyr

Telleth of a young man that fain would be fairly tattooed on his

Suicide Off Egg Rock

Behind him the hotdogs split and drizzled
On the public grills, and the ochreous salt flats,
Gas tanks, factory stacks- that landscape
Of imperfections his bowels were part of-

Sylvia Plath
Pinkle Purr

Tattoo was the mother of Pinkle Purr,
A little black nothing of feet and fur;

Alan Alexander Milne
Tattoo

I am the criminal whose chest is tattooed with a poinard above which are graven the words 'mort aux bourgeois'. Let us each tattoo this on our hearts.
I am the soldier with a red mark on my nakedness-when in a frenzy of love the mark expands to spell Mad Queen. Let us each tattoo our Mad Queen on our heart.
I am the prophet from the land of the Sun whose back is tattooed in the design of a rising sun. Let us each tattoo a rising sun on our heart.

I Keep Your Smile Tattoo On My Heart

I cant imagine life without you,
I cant forget the light you brought me in,
Memories of your touch remain with me,
How can i forget the smile of your lips?

Predicted a thousand years my span;

Since, on the contrary, I hold there are
Surviving still a verity or two;

Henry Van Dyke
The Circus-day Parade

Oh, the Circus-Day parade! How the bugles played and played!
And how the glossy horses tossed their flossy manes, and neighed,
As the rattle and the rhyme of the tenor-drummer's time
Filled all the hungry hearts of us with melody sublime!

Under the great gray rain sheds of the sky,
Under the open sun and the yellow gloaming embers.
Remember all paydays of lilacs and songbirds;

A tattoo of vapour and a skull of emptiness.
Each growing day each mourn and sadness,
Grasses devoided of moist waits the sickle.
