sometimes its hard to be happy
but here i sit
with my darling, precious cat
fast asleep on my lap
and i'm writing poetry
can it get any better than that?
just a thought.

accident
TV
white SUV

phone call
shaky hands
voicemail
call again...

ring ring
hey, what’s up?
nothing...
nothing much...
I couldn’t stop thinking about the theory (in simple terms) that for something to exist, it needs an observer. Like the kitten in the box. Is it dead or alive? Or is it even in the box at all? I gave my kitten in the box a call.

You go so far and so wide,
For you can enter with a slide!

You can snuggle but leave so much fur,
Sneaking about being careful not to miss a chair!

Make sure you take every opportunity,
Make sure you keep your sanity.

Don’t go too wild,
As you may not stay a child.

Dog like cat,
You do like a pat!

When held you tend to flop,
Flop your way through until you pop!

You pop like a rocket,
Without notice you’ve got it!

Out of sight,
But stay near the house and away from those flashing car lights!

The choice is yours


There is a little ball of fur playing inside a paper bag
And it chases every ball that it see’s rolling past.
It is learning how to hunt, using stealth and quick reactions;
It is stalking its prey every time it moves and it waits in anticipation.


A piece of string is attached to a ball that is placed before the cat
And every time I pull the piece of string to make the ball move,
The cat leaps into action and suddenly attacks.
But its attention span is short
And soon it loses any interest when nothing moves across the floor.


But I can control the puppet on a string;
Do I mean the ball or the cat?
Or did I just make you read my words,
Simply for my own pleasure, just to amuse.
What do you think about that?

warm fur brushes my knee
soft, calming
i love my cat

with her gentle whiskers
her loud voice
calling for food
water
my attention
you could consider her a simple
creature
but she has just as much
personality
as the rest of us.
i really love my cat ok
