Panagiota Romios Poet Free verse

Calico Tequila Sunrise

How do cats know what we need? 
It's so chilly this morning, here in
oh so still, golden, wine country.
I'm lying here snug on the couch.
Santorini-blue quilt, iPad, coffee, 
writing poetry.

Here comes my warm, calico coverlet! 

Jumping up on me.
Ah, her gold eyes like a warm
fireplace glow...
Her master pieced painted body.
The magical ebb and flow of blessed 
warmth on my thighs, oh! 

I call her, a bit of heaven on earth.
An angel, if you will, in disguise.
My calico, Irene, feline majesty.
My sunrise wine country surprise.
Sun Spirit, painting all the houses
a bright gold.


* Title inspired by my beautiful
 daughter, Maria Elena.*

Joseph P. DiMino October 3, 2020 at 6:48 AM Very beautiful, Pangie; love them. Pardon my sparse appearances here lately...just doing other creative stuff that I never did when I was younger and a bit more spry (when it is easier to learn)--newly become fascinated with woodworking -- turning, carving and like. Getting the proper equipment, and mentors takes time. Most people into these activities, I have quickly found, are more than over-joyed to share their time and craft experience. Panagiota Romios October 3, 2020 at 7:51 PM Prince de Mino..glad to know you are so very diversied in your creative pursuits.seeing a visual piece that you completed or working with others, sounds enticing to me.Go and enjoy. Hugs, Pangie xx
