Heavenly Cats

HEAVENLY CATS cats sizzle with top hats and canes. ties spinning. the feline’s tail held extra high. whiskers whisked clean with scrub-brush tongue. black cats outlined in the astrological sky. white cats often need to be laundered. calico’s careen from seat to seat. Persian’s not too sweet. a precious find in a tree — taking home the whole cat and caboodle. marvelous kitten’s meow, lighting up a toddler’s eyes. Mohawk is his name. a downsize caused Mohawk to roam but the heart remembers and searches for his descendants. curled up on a rug-size lap, somewhere out there. 8/7/2018 3rd place/multiple placements Cats poetry contest (Tania Kitchin)
