Viv Wigley Poet Verse

Cat

Constant source of worry
condition improving
cannot keep her indoors
chases all living things
consumes food and budget
clothes and curtains all frayed
Celeste, furry soulmate

Sandra Viv Wigley August 26, 2016 at 12:18 AM Thanks Sandra. What is it with cat owners talking to them in a high pitched voice, like we do to babies? The folk at the bus stop outside my house always look at me bemused.. Viv x

Daniel Turner August 24, 2016 at 7:44 AM Not particularly fond of cats but my mom has always had a cat. You have described them well. They seem to act as if they own the house and you are there to serve them, would you agree? Fun read, Viv. Good luck! Viv Wigley August 24, 2016 at 8:07 AM Indeed, Daniel, cats don't have owners, they have staff. I've grown used to it. Thanks for dropping by. Regards, Viv

Connie Marcum Wong August 24, 2016 at 4:09 AM I love cats Viv. I hope thiis takes top honors. We lost our cat to illness a few months ago and I was going to write about him but it is still to difficult. Love the photo too! 7 ; ) Viv Wigley August 24, 2016 at 8:09 AM Sorry for your loss, Connie, I dread to think of losing her ladyship, but one day I must. Your sorrow shows your love, which is tribute to a mighty fine, much lamented member of your family. Viv x

John Hardison August 24, 2016 at 1:12 AM Well put. There is that with a cat. Lots of luck in contest. Viv Wigley August 24, 2016 at 8:09 AM Complex creatures, cats, would almost make good humans. Thanks for dropping by, John. Regards, Viv

Andrea Dietrich August 24, 2016 at 12:22 AM Oh, I was gonna do cat. I am glad I chose another subject because you did cat very well, viv! Viv Wigley August 24, 2016 at 12:34 AM Amazing how entrenched we are with the alphabet from early years, Andrea. 'C is for cat', etc. Looking forward to Pleiades D, with doggy verses. Viv x

Eve Roper August 24, 2016 at 12:06 AM Wonderful write, Viv, they are a constant worry especially if they love the outdoors. Good luck in the contest Hugs Eve Viv Wigley August 24, 2016 at 12:35 AM Thanks Eve, mine has a peculiar allergy, which results in much scratching. She's on antibiotics and steroids. Slowly getting there. Viv x
