No Blues At Bedtime Poem One

 

Your rough tongue cleansing 
my finger.
You, the queen of Calico
humdingers!
Those flashing green eyes that 
evoke my love each night.
Staring down from your
soft feline height.

How I adore the ways you
make my heart dance.
When you slumber on me, my 
heart, settles down to an
opal, moonlit trance...

The Cat

The lady sleeps 
     Her cat is sleeping
      Both in deep slumber
      In the early morn
      She feels a nudge
       Eyes open- her cat

Tiny Kitten

tiny kitten
swiped the air
opened her paw
nothing there

tried again
other paw
opened slowly
naught, it saw

smacked her lips
then meowed
curled up to sleep
bent, not bowed

Wintry Sunrays

midst blue wintry haze
welcomed sunrays
find their way on tiptoe
and at bay window
the content kittycat
purrs sleepily

Cat's Marina

meow meow
meet ginger tabby
she's the shy, timid one
watching from 'cross the street

meow meow
meet frisky calico
he's the mischievous one
who paws at your feet

meow meow
meet fluffy siamese 
she's the glutton
waiting for a treat

meow meow 
meet hairless egyptian
she's not so friendly
who claws and retreats

meow meow
one more cat before we sleep
here at cat's marina
so many cats to meet

Zzz...

My Cat and Zen

My mindful cat is practising Zen.

     But often he sleeps quietly and then

     It is difficult to know exactly when

     My mindful cat is practising  Zen.

Cat Nap

My cats have their fun
       Then, they like to sit in sun
           On the porch they go
   Each one picks a chair that’s best
        Side by side, in cat nap

Kittens and Butterflies - Collaboration With Chris Green

The morning aches like bricks today
And every step I take, my feet
Feel entangled in wild weed
I will not leave, I think I'll stay

A weight as much a mountains thick
Upon my shoulders burnt and bare
Entombed inside, I do not share
Alone I bend beneath the brick

I reach the wooden chair outside
And sit... and sigh... a kitten's meow
She

Sleepy Cat

I watched
As the old white tabby
Walked slowly
Into the corner
Of the room
Turning round and round and round
Until it fell
Deep into itself
And went
To sleep

Meowing Cat

Shut up and go away please
Meowing cats are getting to me 
In the middle of the night for food or company
Shut up and go away please
Stop scratching my calves I want to sleep
Daytime is for food, love and games 
Shut up and go away please
Meowing cats are getting to me

Cat

Sleep is like a cat
Only attracted to you
If you ignore it
