I've
a misplaced craving
for my tea
now where has that Darjeeling went?
there on the end table -
just out of reach
despite my every attempt
For I'm pinned in my chair,
apparently
and nothing can end my tormentment
but now this cat on my knee
is purring me
a delicious warm mug of contentment
Don't you just love these commenters who must improve our poetry? But I must admit that the word did confuse me unless it was intended as a Lewis Carrollism. There I went and did it too. Like your humor. Adeline
Charles, is this the cat you're trying to give away... the one from your poem 'Free Cat', who disrupts your dreams? ? It sounds like you have a love/hate relationship? ? Hope you continue to enjoy each others company as you shed ('Haircut Payback') all over each other. Cute write! Brian
I bet you're one of those guys who'll spend hours looking for the remote but won't actually just change the channel manually. This is a lovely, cosy, coal fire sort of poem. Very nice. Hugs Anna xxx
Chuck - I can almost hear the knitting needles click as 'the cat purred me a rug of contentment' but I think your Darjeeling has gone, not went? Somehow, C. T., you always manage to see the humor in a situation. Scarlett
Another winner, guy! Who has the heart to dump a cat for a cup of tea? At least, not right away! I love the setting and the feel of this poem (and I get the use of 'tormentment') . Love the last line lots! Thanks - and keep 'em comin'! ! !

nice poem, Charles... I believe you have a typo in 'tormentment'. =) dan
