Fantasy Of A Cat
Sitting in the sunshine
streaming through the window
my catnap's long overdue
it's way past time I drifted off
to the land of milk
(and honey) ah Shangri-La
a return to déjà vu
and my reverie
it's no hallucination
merely visualisation
of a fertile imagination
and when all is said and done
no I'm not the one
(but, 'Wish I were,' hear me purr)
the cat who ate the...

Faithful Echoes of LoveI’m standing on the deck, coffee in hand,
Three dogs by my side as the rain comes to land.
No thunder, no lightning—just a warm, gentle fall,
To nourish God’s botany, soft blessing to all.
The morning, she rises—I watch the rain fade,
Serenity spills from the colors God made.
As the light is revealed, it quiets my mind,
A rare little...

Spoiled-Rotten Cat Instructs Visitors
Don’t you dare try to sit in my spot!
I’ll decide if you pet me or not.
I’m the star here, you’ll see.
They all cater to me.
They just like you; they LOVE me a lot.

Sassys very long dayGenghis needed to get his teeth clean
leaving Sassy alone for her first time felt extreme
gather the little guy to get him there by eight A M
Sassy with her long face staring out the window missing him
Had to drop off the old boy and get him at five
went straight home to see if Sassy survived
She was...

A Writer's MalaiseA writer's challenge
Is like any artist's…
A many sided coin flipped.
Feel, see, hear, dream
Sweats tasted, presenting pasts
Saw, felt, heard, and dreamt
Bringing future in to bear.
Not just a flat, slim coin, mind you...
A presence coin, flipped of immeasurable depth
Holding saved wisdom's placement.
Search boxes present, now titled past
Waiting for more recent future’s to come.

The Clouds of Mount Everest - may you ever restFlapping without flying.
It feels okay.
Your scales of fur corrode.
A foul, but sweet, but warm, but damp...
Scent of something new.
You're red and blue tomorrow,
Yellow, pink, today.
But forever, I'd say grey.
You're white, dirtied, pure.
Once lost, but now at home.
If invaders must die,
Make yourself the furniture.
You can stain my doormat red,
So you can see me before we part.
And...

Sal, Fish And Dougoh
Sal saw sea
beyond the seesaw
but
did her fish suit swimming
in a flashy swimsuit
Doug, her dog
at the pantomime
groans a panting moan
then
Sal, fish and Doug
did a selfie on her phone

Acrostic Agility Poetry ContestPaws on the windowsill, waiting for me
Ears perked up at the jingle of keys
Treats disappear with lightning speed
Dirt on the floor, but I don’t mind
Over and over, he’s one of a kind
Goofy grin, tongue out, tail wagging behind
Torn-up bear, stuffing all around
Once his favorite, now battle-worn and brown
You’d think it still squeaked by the way...

SparkleI had a green parakeet and Sparkle was his name.
When he died thirty-five years ago, it was a shame.
On the last day of April, I found him dead in his cage.
I bought him in 1981 and he died of old age.
My one parakeet outlived three blue parakeets that belonged to my mother.
Sparkle was my one...

PET“Generally, or at least very often, people with a deep interest in animals are the best people around.”

Purpose is to feel unconditional trust and love
Emotions so rare, unfound in fellow beings
To own them is to be healthy, happy, and humane
