Owme!

Lick lick lick, long lick, lick lick...
there she sits on my window sill,
neatening fur from her feet to her tail.
And here I spy my little cat's eye,
narrowing my focus on her.
I hear the purr.ing....as she sits
sunny in the sill.  

I think to myself... 
the other day when I write my rhyme,
upon my toe you came with chimes,
to break my scribbling stride.  MEOW
in a loud voice you cried.  Give me
kibbles your whiskers pry between
my ankles.  Then I smiled.

And now upon this greatly fine hour,
revenge I'll have and you'll be sour,
as I make my strides to you.
I'm gonna pick you up and cuddle you too.
It'll cause a mess, I must confess
but I'm the 'mom' and you're too cute.

Plus I owe you... some love.
plus you OWME! too. ;) a new poem.

~and that's communication~
~in it's best form~
At my house anyway lol!!

Cute write here which is the Free Verse form ... need to put something in in the "Form" section as part of posting a write. Just back space up and you'll get past the "I Don't Know" which usually keeps folks out of contests but who knows anymore maybe it doesn't make any difference now. So, scratch this but anyway ... the different forms are interesting and I don't know how to do half of those listed under "Forms of Poetry" in the left hand column ...

Izzy, I also have a cat that loves to chase the bees when they land on the flowers, it's fun to watch but I don't know how it can do it every time, nice work...Raul
