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.
