Warmth

wound around himself
purring to her heart's rhythm 
the gray cat sleeps on
mom doesn't need a sweater
as the wind rattles the panes

Wow! I'm getting interested into this tanka form, knowing it little by little through your wonderful expressions. So simple and tender and expressive! Masterpieces, Debbie! Love, Hanitra

Amazing beauty and the aroma of soft tender love can warm enough to remove the chills of winter. What a great image you have painted in these wonderful words. Quite a depth you have given in so few words. Great write my friend. It goes as my favorite also and thanks for your kind words on my Poem. Love and best wishes...Ravindra..Debbie Guzzi
