- Cat -


            Catch me in my aimless eternal chase
            and feed me with enough love - through sweatless dreams
            Transience, inner satisfaction and harmony

Anne-Lise, the funny thing is what you describe would not be bad for us either. After all, isn't much of what we do pointless from the universe's point of view? Cats might be onto something! I can only tell you that reading your poetry enhances the internal feeling of joy that I have. I really do appreciate that. Poetry like yours is just such a pleasure to read. Take care and (of course) smiles, meow, and and purr!!

Your poem shows great knowledge of cats. I enjoy the close link between the cat and his owner. The photograph adds image.

You fooled me. Your poem could have been written by a cat lady.
