Down

no words are spoken
just a nuzzle to the cheek
cats know when you're sad

oh, I really love this, Viv. We had a cat a long time ago that just seemed so in synche with my son and he would nuzzle my son's cheek this way. Soupmail.

Thanks, Andrea. I nuzzle my Janet's cheek when she's sad. Well, it's more of a slobber. She's never impressed... Viv x

This is so true !! And same with our dogs...they sense our emotions, and it seems they are trying to reach out and tell us it's going to be okay. Sweet senryu this is!! PS.......thanks so very much Viv, for the challenge and the placement in your "body parts" contest! That was a fun one to write....and stretch the imagination !! Thank you!

I think it's just animals in general, Mr Viv. So sorry you are sad.

Don't worry, Daniel, just one of those transitory things when one feels a little under the weather. Thanks for your concern and visit. Regards, Viv

Indeed. Some things are true beyond question. No hairs for lawyers to split in this one. You have outdone yourself in only three lines Viv. Regards David.
