Not a fan cinquain?

Big Boy Died Last Night

He was buried this morning.




I don't know when it's really gonna hit, but I was just getting something from the kitchen and after a minute I started waiting for him to approach from his little box and meow at me.



There was silence.


He would have been 17 this fall.





Life stinks sometimes, but I guess it is for the best. Something inside him was killing him (loss of hair, massive weight loss, etc.). I just hope the very end was painless.





He was a good friend, a good son, a great cat.




Sleep well, my cheeto-loving friend.

I guess this is more of a senryu.

Preposthumous Poetry And Stuffz: Work #20

"Hissing Summer Night" was something I liked, but that I never fully fleshed out. It's a simple story of the heartache after a fire.

"In The Context Of Bleeding To Death"


This is a poem written about the first time my leg leaked a couple of pints.
I liked it even with the wacky twist at the end. A tie-on, but quirky. But it's not something I send out anymore. So, enjoy in its end.

This is a little more pointless than Prepost #5. Kind of a time-waster: meow-meow. I uploaded a less-than-healthy workprint of it just to save time. Not very good. For You.

All footage is from some "Are You Popular?" Public Domain video obtained at archive.org.
The song is a Brahms Op.39, #10 by Martha Goldstein. Dist. through CC lic. 2.0

"Tidbit #13"

This is something from my doom-and-gloom, happy-to-daydream Sophomore year at college. I spruced it up a little for this, and in the end it is actually 78% decent. To me, anyway.


All of the clips are public domain from various videos found at archive.org. The music is "Caligaverunt oculi mei" by Tomás Luis de Victoria by the same folks who did Amicus Meus used in Preposthumous #9.

My theme is Telemann's Sonata for 2 Violins Movement 3 as distributed by MIT for public use.

Preposthumous Poetry & Stuffz #14:

"An Orange Rejection of Rejection" worked better in concept than executing simply as a poem in b&w on heavy stock.

Thus, EXECUTION!

Not the most authentic in its execution, I'll admit, but basically what I was going for. I kinda like the poem. It's dead, though. But anyway...yeah. enjoy.

A new Preposthumous Poem will appear Monday via youtube.
