John Lawless Poet Free verse

Purrrrfect

PURRRRFECT


Moving in the grace of innate elegance
softly, smoothly, flowing, lithesome lines
peaceful with the knowledge of herself
she purrs self satisfactions growl.

Rippling stripes of moonlights envy
regal tilt of head and arc of neck
eyes that find a union with my own
slowly walking my tiger home.

I just pictured me walking with my wife, holding hands. She is incredibly "tiger-like" when it come to me and the kids and grandkids.
