Andrea Dietrich Poet Dizain

Cat Valentine - Revised

Often at midnight, she jumps on my bed;
she comes to me then on her four small feet.
How softly on my blankets she does tread.
So beautiful is she - genteel and sweet;
she reaches out her paw - her way to greet.
It soothes my spirit to be petting her,
for dulcet is her lullabye - her purr!
This green-eyed feline beauty is all mine.
Like black and silken midnight is her fur.
So ladylike is my cat valentine.

Good luck in the contest. God Bless and Happy Thanksgiving. JB Been off line awhile. Very tired. Dr. says to take it easy when I feel myself running down. Turning 73 on the 14th. Slowing down a bit. Still working full time though.
