Persian Breed

Some kind of mystic turquoise, my cat’s eyes polishing lenses for a deep gaze of twilight that floats in old lace, as she lounges on wet grass much like a Persian queen with restraint power… her feline movements gliding subtly in hours deep. Oh trees bow in her presence quite mysterious… turquoise eyes watching hounds roam along wild grass yet… sheer bravery reflects her Persian vein of confidence endowing nightfall a cunning grace as tigress within bears famed ancestry.

Wonderful, Nette. BIG congrats. I had a PErsian once. I just adored her beauty, but she was not affectionate.

You had me right there at the first line. I find the whole scene to be mysterious and appealing, being partial to cats. Very fine allusion to royalty, Nette. Also, honored to be included in your recent contest.

I love this breed, Nette. Glad to see you wrote of a PErsian. I had one a long time ago named Gwendolyn. She was a gorgeous silver one. And her face was so pretty. Not squashed down the way some PErsian faces are. Did you ever have one?
