Written last summer, late in the evening.


Time for Bed
Virginia Salter

It’s time to go to bed
the cat is pleading
Her eyes are big and sad
my heart is bleeding

She plies me with her writhing
around and through my legs
she climbs half up my frame
her mewing cries to beg

Then taps me on the shoulder
with four nails extended
Down again to move
to grab my leg two-handed

Pacing to and fro
forward and aft
So sadly she does go
surely thinks I’m daft

To spend so much time
in front of this keyboard
Typing forms of poesy
‘bout kitties and the Lord.

Cats are like that...you night owl.

...this is neat! A poem about a kitten who is competing for your affection, while you compose a poem about a kitten who is competing for your affection...while your kitten is pleading for your attention...as you write about a kitten who is pleading for your attention...while your kitten...

I think the kitten suceeded, and I'm glad he did!
