I've been mesmerized by kitten eyes before but not that kind of kitten:)

Thanks, Sara. I rarely do non-rhyme, but I thought, ‘Surely I can manage three lines,’ so I had a go ;-)

Thank you, Karen. Can’t take credit for the picture, although I have had a few kittens with eyes just like those.

Not many things cuter than kittens and pups. Good luck with your entry, Terry.

Not really my ‘style’ Lin, but I thought I’d give it a go. A tentative sideways step because my last attempt to leave humour to one side met with such a deafening silence, I thought I’d written in Swahili. Of course… it may have been, as Jan might say, ‘poop’. ;-)

Thanks, Jan. Following the storms, my first attempt was a flat calm sea, it was okay, but let’s face it, kitten’s eyes get you every time.
