ebony and pumpkin colored specter of tail and hiss shadowed mouse fatality sly stalker of noises ball of purr and soft meow a contradiction in her own mind snobbish and aloof from day to day sometime cuddler near open fire basket case of the worst kind bag, box, tube all fair game for this shadow cat's peruse and occasional foray surprise in the garden patch to find her nestled in the beanpatch like pooling shadows in the late afternoon her golden eye focused as I work though soon with a dismissing yawn she flits back to her mouse dreamland my shadow cat holds my heart in her be-clawed sometimes friendly paw with her butter-won't-melt devil-may-care, come-what-may I'm-sleeping-all-day attitude (I long for the unfettered life of a cat!!) |

Having a feline nature, I can really appreciate this poem, Heather. Very good depiction of the domesticated feline.  Alicat, the Persnikitty |

Heather - Writing about CATS are we??? Yanno, this is a very sweet poem (except that part about the cat). Other than that, I enjoyed it immensely - heh heh. Psst, Heather, it's me, Long John. Listen, I had to keep appearances up with those cat remarks and all. I actually did enjoy your poem, but don't tell anybody I said that. OK? Even on ICQ) |
