Susi, 
I would love to do that! Maybe fellow digesters could send in some of
their piggy poems, and we could put them in a book with digester's
illustrations. We could try to get it published! a book by the GPDD! We
could make this a digest progect! 
Okay, now I'm excited! These are some other poems that I have written in
the past. 
This is an adaption of "thirteen ways of looking at a blackbird" 


		Thirteen Ways of looking at a Cavy

	I
The hollow canyons of Cauhachi
Echo a screech
As thirty glowing men dance
Around the cavy 
And send him to placate the gods.

	II
I go about
The day to day;
The cavy sits and waits.

	III
The cavy flaunts his freedom, 
Rumbling and swaying 
As he struts away from the familiar.
He looks rediculous. 

	IV
The silence of isolation is broken
By the wheeks and chutters 
Of the cavy.

	V
Chomping crisp celery,
The cavy bursts 
Into uncontrollable fits of delight.
Pop!

	VI
As lustrous black pearls,
The cavy keeps his eye wide,
Ever watching,
Never trusting the unknown.     

	VII
Above me the floor rolls into a rumble. 
Pause. Silence.
The cavy rests.

	VIII
Boulbous bottom lip sulks,
Short snout far above,
Beady eyes seem to cross,
In serious hilarity.
The cavy wears the face of his spirit.

	IX
I was slipping,
Begining to fail.
The cavy kept me from falling.

	X
Companion of royalty?
Spoil of Spain?
Surely not the cavy.

	XI
"No, Martin Luther! No!",
I yell to the cavy. 
His head turns to me, 
Ego swelling. 

	XII
Rapid chirps slow 
To a gentle coo,
Large black eyes 
Begin to grow smaller,
Warm body pressed 
Against my neck,
The cavy sleeps.

	XIII
Cuy, Peruvian staple,
Cavia porcellus, tailless-little-pig-rodent, 
Guinees biggetje, porchita da India, 
The guinea pig, the cavy.

There is another Martin Luther poem, but I have to do some digging to find it.
