Gershon Wolf Poet Imagism

At Dawn

when --
at dawn
we spotted the cat
scooting under the fence
   who knew---
   midday
   it would be lying on its back
   lazy-as-content-can-be
   rubbing up against the sidewalk
     ---what happened

Gershon Wolf February 11, 2020 at 3:54 PM Arf, Arf… Ever tune in to 'Animal Stories' with 'Uncle' Larry Lujack and 'Little' Tommy Edwards on WLS-AM 890 out of Chicago in the 1970's and '80's? If not, go for it online. Tell me what you think. Thanks, Jean! Smiles, Gershon

Tom Cunningham February 11, 2020 at 5:41 AM Make no mistake, I coming back as a cat, what a great life they have. Tom Gershon Wolf February 11, 2020 at 12:10 PM Tom, I give you my word that in this life, I will never mistake you for a cat! As for what comes next -- me-ow!. LOL. Thanks! :) Gershon

Charles Messina February 11, 2020 at 5:28 AM Sounds like the rain went away and the sun came out (lol) Great imagery, Gershon. -CM Gershon Wolf February 11, 2020 at 12:09 PM There's just no raining on a cat's parade! Thanks, Charlie. :) Gershon

Jenish Somadas February 10, 2020 at 11:45 PM Ohh.. now I know whose cat is that...lol..lazy cat.. Good one.. Gershon Wolf February 11, 2020 at 12:08 PM Of course, you figured out that it's my wife's cat, as women are naturally lazy. That's why we enterprising husbands have to wrack our brains 24/7 to think of ways to keep them occupied. LOL! Thanks, Jenish
