Cat

Colorful coat leaving
Cursed once, but poignantly
Cherished fur tornadoes
Copiously on my
Couch seat while you snuggle
Closely as your thin frame
Captures love for what’s next

Chris Hagy Date: 8/28/2016 3:13:00 PM Really cute write Tom! Lovely feline...is she a calico? Hope she is with you for a few more years, their company and high jinks are well worth the "fur tornadoes". I have had cats and dogs all my life and I know all to well about the fur balls!:) Login to Reply
