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 quiet night ...

 

In the quiet night,

telling my cat in words and touch

how much I love her, 

and listening to her purrs and body language

telling me how much 

it’s enjoyed and returned,

I can only be thankful 

the Universe gave us each other 

now that we are both elderly 

with no-one else as our daily focus —

the Universe which understands well 

that love between animals and people

can be as great as any other

and as sweet.
