Love Poem Contest Entry #7!!

A second entry has come in about my toothy gator and bird piece!


Rosie the carnivorous bird had always found it difficult to find Love
Previous partners just couldn't understand her table manners
Then she met Radi the Alligator, a refined Gentleman
Who it turned out, had impeccable taste.....

Rosie was a Raptor Bird
Radi was an Alligator
When they met it was True Love.....
Then RADI-ATE-HER!

Love Poem Contest Entry #5!!

We have a fifth contender for the coveted $100 prize in our love poem contest. Dannie sent in this witty entry, inspired by the smiling gator.

Oh Bunny bunny!! You're so funny.
I want to enter but do not banter.
Hilary Hilary the gator's wary.
That is my pick and shall I parody or what was that???

Made to brush - my sink's the place.
I love your work and really dream.
A remodel job would have a place for this pair.
Never to ever brush in despair.

Love Poem Contest Entry #3!!

About the squirrel.
(by Anna Lockwood)

Sweet squirrel,
Not from here
We’ve never met one.

We’d never met once.

Sweet squirrel.
Offers her heart
With both hands

Like mine, see.

Sweet squirrel
a bit different
But somehow known

Like you and me.

Sweet squirrel
Speaks my language
Despite all that

Like you do.

Sweet squirrel
Chose me
And I choose you.

Pick me.

Love Poem Contest Entry #2!!

Of Two Penguins And Their Lives To Come
by bottledinsanity

My heart pounds deep inside my chest
As we lock fingers and embrace,
And stand beside each other closely,
Catching glimpses of your face.

We face each other frozen still,
Our gazes locked in icy blue.
My ears are ringing loud and heavy,
Barely hearing your “I do.”

Your lovely face is part obscured
By veils of white and blushes red.
But black and white do suit you, darling,
As do the flowers atop your head.

My turn at last as fears do grow
Inside my heart of hearts this day.
Can I make your days be happy?
Will you always want to stay?

But as I turn with you, the world
Withdraws, and with you at my side,
I know my fears are unfounded
As we lock lips as groom and bride.

Love Poem Contest Entry #1!!

This poem reminds me of when I was fortunate enough to go see Gwendolyn Brooks read in New York when I was in college. I love her language and it's hilarious to me that there's a little Bunny with a Toolbelt in that experience.

Bebe saw my Nasty Little Secret figures and was inspired to write this piece:

~Love Poem~

They met on the net

at the place called Et(sy)

'n she said to him

'n he said to her

what do you like



'n she said to him

'n he said to her

I heart you

'n she hearted him



'n then he said lets meet

'n she said lets meet

but little did he know

'n little did she know that

they both had

a nasty little secret



he wrote to her

'n she wrote to him

where’ll we meet

'n he thought

bar n grille

'n she said no

how 'bout the

café aujourd’hui

'n he said no

'n he said to her

'n she said to him

let’s think about it




he thought out loud with

an "awwwww . . . ."

'n she thought out loud with

an "ayyyyyyy. . . . . ."

'n then he wrote

'n she wrote

how 'bout Hollywood 'n Vine

'n he said yes

'n she said yes



'n then he said

'n she said

Will you be Mine?

'n he said yes

'n she said yes

but what they both didn’t

know is that they both

had a nasty little secret



Well, she stood at Hollywood 'n Vine

with a crowd gathered round

'n then he came up 'n looked around

'n then he saw

'n then she saw

a plume of white smoke

'n then he knew

'n she knew

there was a nasty little secret



the crowd parted to the right

'n then he saw her

'n she saw him

'n it was love at first sight

even with that nasty little secret
