Change of sheets
to ivory silk, color of cream
or buttermilk.  Creme

open blind.  She's across
the bed to bask, to bask, 
like a cat who knows
and shows the way, a spot
for the poet to store in
winter light, to toast in,
the bed,...

Crawling, furry pet 
Aggressive, yet so lovable
Trying to get any sign of attention and winning it 

No worries planted in their feeble brains 
Attractive and a clever animal
Pleasurable extra family member, always keeping me busy!...

Cat
Napping
At my feet
Dreaming of mice
Muscles twitching fast
You should be resting now
But instead you are chasing
Running as fast as you can go

Fractious feline
sensuously stretching, 
languorously lying,
soporifically slumbering

It’s 2am and I am awake
Feel like I slept a whole day
Rolling red rivers of sleep escape
I am a poet who needs sleep I say

For a winged white word traces brain
As a blue bird tangled in my mane

It's been such a purrrrfect day.
it's fun to play.
I love sugarplum wishes.
to try to catch fishes. 
violet visions.
hard to make decisions,
play with the dog's tail,
or eat that slow old snail.
Persian promise is a beauty.
the Siamese is a bit snooty.
caramel cuddles.
playing in puddles.
peppermint frost,
almost got lost!
