Artwork done for me by Constance La France off a photo of my new cat when we first brought him home.

May be an image of Persian cat

White kitten with curled ears. How cute is he - this little cat now barely eight weeks old. My heart melts when his blue eyes gaze at me. So sweet is he to look at and to hold. This little cat now barely eight weeks old - he gives such joy to me and to my spouse. So sweet is he to look at and to hold. We’re happy that he likes things in our house. He gives such joy to me and to my spouse. He has his own small toys and little bowl. We’re happy that he likes things in our house. Now watch him scurry off the bed and roll! He has his own small toys and little bowl. He jumps at us, retreats, and then comes back. Now watch him scurry off the bed and roll. How playful is his every swift attack. He jumps at us, retreats and then comes back. My heart melts when his blue eyes gaze at me. How playful is his every swift attack. White kitten with curled ears – how cute is he! May 18, 2022 For L. Milton Hankins' A Rhyming Pantoum Of Five Stanzas Poetry Contest

Chico sounds adorable Andrea! A joy! Kittens do have the ability to steal our hearts as they scamper around us in playful darts and "swift attack!" Congratulations on your win!

Andrea, I knew it wouldn't be long before you were writing masterpieces about your new pride and joy. This is so adorable, inspired by your cute little fuzzball. Excellent rhymes and meter, as always. Loved the artwork too, way to go, Constance!

I write pantoums but at the same time I hate them. My next one is meant to be a dark pantoum, not for the contest. I am not much in contests these days. Your poem is delightful. So smooth and well flowing. Luv.

The Pantoum style is one of my favorites to read and to write. I really like this one. It flows so effortlessly and has wonderful imagery, a job well done.

I love your baby kitty poetry Two of them is harder honestly A litter is a bitter legacy They need a babysitter actually I'm glad you got a little white delight A furry kind of feeling in the night A kitty that is ready for a fight Is not so very scary in the light. Congratulations on your new child Luv, Bryan
