Linda Alice Fowler Poet Rondeau

She Looked At Me

It is National Happy Cat Month (September). Please consider adoption.

Cat: An incomparable companion that smoothes the bumpy road.
She looked at me with somber eyes
enchanting with her wily guise. 
Hesitant love became her stance
as she wondered at her sole chance
by blinking lovely golden eyes.

Living life with abuse and lies
never knowing what love implies
cautiously observing askance,
	she looked at me.

Asking only for warm allies
and love that her bearing belies
hopeful that this is no mischance
and she may enrich and enhance
my cheerless life with loving ties
	she looked at me.

Nice job with the Rondeau form...you've inspired me to give it a try...have a great evening, Sara Linda Alice Fowler September 4, 2025 at 9:01 AM Hi Sara. Thank you for noticing the Rondeau form. I enjoy writing it although it can be a little tricky with the transition to the repeating line. I keep trying! You should give it a try! :)

Paula Goldsmith September 1, 2025 at 1:30 PM I enjoyed reading your wonderful "She Looked At Me" write. Thanks for your note and quote. Did not know about Sept and Cats. Great memories are the best kind to have. I had cats as a child but none now. They were fun as I dressed them in my doll clothes. Have a blessed day writing away............. Linda Alice Fowler September 4, 2025 at 8:59 AM So glad you enjoyed cats as a child. We had many pets: dogs, cats, rabbits, ducks, parakeets, skunks and pigs. I loved them all!! Thank you dear Paula! :)
