A Catography

Being rejected by his humans
As if that wasn’t bad enough
Forced into s life  of beggary  
Homeless  and  having to live rough 
Mr Whiskey’s a cat of distinctiom
A cat of manners and breeding
Even without access to antecedents
There available for our reading. 

A cat of intellectual depth 
Easy for all to see
Obviously holding at leat 
A First Class Masters Degree.
He sits for hours in the garden
To thr casual glance asleep
But in all reality he’s thinking
Thoughts both esoteric and deep.

Just recently he’s decided
By methods he knows best
With flying colours we’ve passed
The decent human beings test.
As a result we’ve been appointed
To the household of this worthy cat
And in the way of things these days
Life  doesn’t get much better than that

Beauty In the Eye

In this modern world

We all live in today

Beauty 

Ain't the norm anymore per - say

It rather seems to be like it has seen better days 

Beauty should surely come with no 

Hidden catch 

Thorn's or stings 

Nor

Collateral damage attached

Certainly not be duty bound

Nor should it ever be frowned upon 

Leat of all become counted on

Or ever taken for granted 

Beauty should be dispersed far and wide

Beauty sowes the seed of love

Beauty is love at 1st sight

Love & Beauty

Is the surely the only thing of note or value

Of any real or true worth or deemed worthy 

Of fighting for or over 

At all

Premium Member Mar Sin Leat

Braid thoughts of thee and smile Caelan
What waits beyond the burning Sun


Premium Member Back To Eden—stimulating

Temperately cooled shade 
From Cedar trees off the 
Coast of Lebanon
Shielded our state of 
Nudity.  Sincerely we
Speculated; as I wonderfully 
Whispered in her esthetic ears: 
"Eve my emphatically enlightened, 
This garden is stimulating 
Like paradise." As
Sweet musical rapture 
Soothed our souring 
Souls from melodious 
Harps of grander, 
She warmly whispered, 
"Just let your tantalizingly 
Soft sizzling fingers 
Entwined with the 
Hair curling on the back of 
My warm neck, 
While I taste your lips" 
Splendidly we sipped warned 
Warbler feathered wine  
From Macedonia’s vine, as 
Our bodies tingled
With rapture for—the
Honey to come…
