WHAT'S THIS?

Having been immersed in memoir writing for many months, I decided to write a small poem every day for a year to keep my poetic hand in. I've posted them to Instagram and facebook as written – where, to my amazement, people love them – but on this blog they are sometimes subject to later rewriting.

In the lovely late afternoon ...




In the lovely late afternoon

my cat and I meet in the sunroom

in front of tree-surrounded windows.

I whisper to her, bending close.

I tell her she is the most treasured 

of beings, the most beautiful, and

the sweetest, the kindest, the smartest.

Her continuous purr as I stroke her fur

gives the same message back to me.
