Notes About The Poem

No Blues At Bedtime Poem One

 

Your rough tongue cleansing 
my finger.
You, the queen of Calico
humdingers!
Those flashing green eyes that 
evoke my love each night.
Staring down from your
soft feline height.

How I adore the ways you
make my heart dance.
When you slumber on me, my 
heart, settles down to an
opal, moonlit trance...

Hi G~ kills me I can’t dance anymore. I’d rather dance than eat! But I sure enjoed that killer of a fall last week. Better yet, that “Romeo” of a fireman who lifted me up. Have noted that as my “Juliet” moment of the year, ( Pangie “Juliet” Romios. XX

Cats are fantastic. Thank you for one of my favorite poetic styles, cat poem. I've written quite a few.

I long got my cats to slumber on me. But they rarely stay on me longer than 5 Minutes. Sigh. How do some pet owners get so lucky?

I was thinking about your cat issue. I know they like certain blankets, each cat is so different. Tonite, Irene is sleepning on my wing backed chair. Yes, yes, you are right on the money. I am lucjy. Cats have their own personalities. Pangid cc

geez, I typed this wrong. I Long to GET my cats to slumber on me. You are very lucky that you had only one of 27 that would not slumber on you. I have had really good luck with only four out of ten.
