Poetry Train...


I figured I'd get a jump on the Poetry Train...lol.

Here's my contribution:

Little black cat,

Napping the day away.

If I asked,

What do you dream of?

What would you say?


I dream of birds,

You say with a grin.

Fluttering outside my window

In the cold winter air.

I want to invite them in.


I dream of mice,

You say with a smirk.

Scurrying from place to place

In a frenzied hurry.

Too much work.


I dream of fish,

You say with a smile.

Swimming in bowls

Side to side slowly.

To catch, it would take a while.


I dream of warmth,

You say with a purr.

Curling on his lap

Stroking my back

Softly and gently.

I secretly adore him.


Stop by Rhian's blog to see who else is on the train.

Great poem. Cute picture, is that your kitty? :)

The picture made me chuckle out loud, and the poem made me look over at my sleeping dog and wonder the same thing.

'I secretly adore him.' - great last line.

A common enough story

Thanks, everyone.

No that isn't my kitty. I couldn't find the right one of my black cat for the poem. :)

Great poem! By the way-nice cover for Out of Bounds. Notice we have a release at Samhain on the same day? ;) Can't wait.

Hey R.G.,

Thanks for the poem and the cover. I love the cover for your Samhain release. Anne did an awesome job on it. :)

Woo-hoo! on having the same release date. I can't wait.

Susan,

I thought I'd try to post a happier poem than usual. :)

I'm not use seeing the picture of an innocent cat over your post!
