Cat-a-tonic Nights Tired, mired from demands of the day I shuffle to pillow and bed where I pray. Peaceful stupor is what I desire As stress and worry slowly expire When something heavy upon my crown Fusses and dances then settles down a headache? a stroke? I’m alert and awake what is this ruckus, this tremor this quake? No sooner I ponder this mystery When there’s a bouncing and scratching at my knee. Still groggy, dazed and becoming quite grumpy As my quiet refuge turns noisy and lumpy. For my hollowed haven of last resort is not a place to play and cavort Unless deep sleep is not the aim but instead a kindling of loves hot flame In my ear is a purring and wheezing A tail in my face and I can’t stop sneezing It’s my wounded warrior, my one eyed Jack “Pumpkin” rests at my head and back. The weight and scratch upon my knees Is “Winnie” forever tormented by fleas Bought from a coven of Salem witches And now is cursed by constant itches. So gently I coo and pet each one And wait till the itching and fussing is done Then peace and stillness pervade the scene And we all fall asleep perchance to dream |
This was written amazingly. It had fantastic imagery, it was light, was worded magnificently and flowed nicely. I'm not much a cat person myself, I like the colder blooded pets, but this piece reminded me of a playful cat that I once shared a house with. Great write. ☺ Keep up the great work and I'll keep reading. »H« | Posted on 2011-10-09 00:00:00 | by MinervaBlu | [ Reply to This ] | I loved this playful purfect piece! Animals are such personalities and I miss our cat, Maximus Mortimus Aurelius as he went missing on our country property - we say he's off to college! | Great expression and thanks for sharing with smiles to share ;-) | Posted on 2011-10-09 00:00:00 | by Epiphany | [ Reply to This ] | |
