Paw

My cat's P's of poetry – punctuates everything I write with a paw; when I'm composing, he slaps at my pencil with...you guessed it, his paw – yesterday, the fan blew my precious creation, off of the miracle table, and onto the resident predator's territorial floor; followed by a savage attack: and yep!--a shameless clawing paw. Let me share with you, our latest collaboration: Paw, Paw, Paw, Paw.....

All I remember about Poughkeepsie is that it was a bus-stop on the way to Syracuse, where I had a girlfriend I would go see. I lived in New York. Nothing more beautiful than the Hudson River Valley during autumn. Thank you, Gershon. Have a great day my friend!

So funny…so cute! My interruption comes from my husband. When I was working I could chase him off as I wrote but as a retiree, I feel obligated (of course in the loving way) to listen to his work day. So paw paw paw it is ;)

I know...I never shoo the animals away -- their God, whatever they want, affection, feeding, I drop everything -- not feeling lose from the pause, to the contrary, I think the poetry and I are both better for it. Joe.
