Noll's Trolls

This dreary morning,

much to my chagrin,

I founded my nip patch

had founded been 

by a trio of trolls

on their way to Halloween!

Pumpkin,

Witch,

Frankenstein,

nibbling on the catnip MINE!

Big glassy-eyed they were

with grins from ear to ear.

I bended down my little head

to hear what I might hear:

Said the green one to

his travelers two:

"Tis comfy here,

I likes the smell

the taste is mighty fine.

Let's rest a spell,

takes all we wants

amidst this herb divine."

Said Pumpkin to

his travelers two,

"What's yours is yours,

is MINE!"

To which Witch replied

with a wave of her broom,

"No room. No room.

NO ROOM!"

With their greed apparent,

and my nip at stake

I sprung into action

I launched MY debate!

I pounced on the lot

Giving each a good swat

Howling

"SORRY YOU'RE LEAVING SO SOON!"

(Happy Halloween 

from Noll 

who trolls for Trolls 

wherever he strolls.)

Noll's Random Acts of Color

In October,

the sky is

an abstract canvas

of color and cloud.

Among the white asters,

golden butterflies
dance a beguine.

And every tree

turns over

a new leaf.

Noll's 2nd Blogoversary! WOOT!!

Dear friends,

Today marks the second anniversary of Noll's Nip.  It doesn't seem like it could be that long, but there it is.

Two years since I started blogging, out of curiosity mostly to see what blogging was all about.  Jan's Funny Farm found me and I was embraced by the Cat Blogosphere where I met legions of other cool cats =^..^= and their personal secretaries ;).  The rest, as they say, is history.

I am so glad to be here, with you furry and unfurry friends. I have enjoyed meeting you and reading your lovely and cheerful comments, and becoming your FB friends.

I hope to be here for many years to come.....And I hope to go outside today.  Why does EVERY door or window have a screen?????

Noll Hopes....

When you get the chance

to sit out

or dance...

I hope you dance!

=^..^=

Noll's Forecast

In my corner

 of all existing things,

Fall has come.

Time for cool night falls,

For trees morphing

 into bouquets

of yellow, orange, crimson.

Birds flocking.

Clacking,

chirping cacophonies,

rising from

the colored canopies.

The hummingbird

 has caught

a ride out of town.

Sunlight slants.

Honeysuckle,

bittersweet berries swell.

The locust pods hang low

upon the bough,

desiring the ground.

Fall.

Nature's descent:

Neither containable

or collected in a jar.

All we own 

is its changing presence.

My Sunday

will be sunny,

with a slight chance

of starlings.

Noll Shows His Stripes

 Today's Photo Hunters theme is STRIPES.

Someone bust me out of here!

Noll's Hello Neko Plate

My precious hello neko plate

puts me in a happy MOOD....

But my plate makes me happiest,

When smothered in stinky FOOD!

Noll Celebrates Livestrong Day 10.2.10

Yellow is the

color of remembrance.

Today, we remember

our friends near & far:

Friends who left us

 all too soon &

friends who continue

to battle cancer.

HOPE.

FIGHT.

BELIEVE.

LIVESTRONG!

Noll's Cousin Gizmo Gets His SPOOKY On!

October!

Time to drape the house

in layers of ghosts, pumpkins

and green witches.

The leaves are changing color;

falling as softly

as a cat walking

on a window's ledge.

Field mice

venture near seeking

warmth and haven,

and finding (to their chagrin)

cat and mouse games;

All the while,

 Cousin Gizmo fans his inner fire:

Black cats greet

the crisp autumn air

with flicker flame eyes,

and gleaming bravado.

October is their stage

and they, its stars.
