How terribly sad that the elation is great
When the awaiting feline meows
Pleased at your arrival
How it leaps to greet you
Bouncing across lawns of corn
Rubbing small heart shaped nose against your ankles
Purrs like it's in love.
I retract that statement.
Not sad at all,
It is wonderful to feel so wanted, needed, awaited
Missed in your absence
Even if it is just by a cat
That waits by your door, wanting meat and refreshment.
this shall now be found also in my/our August 2017's showcase. Thanks. bri :) p.s. Tiddles is a cat's name? ? and do you use my name, (Bri) , in your Poet's Notes because i especially enjoy birds? favorite line: I retract that statement. and thanks for the Poet's Note
is there a hint of humour/humor here? i think so. but just a hint. favorite lines: I retract that statement. Not sad at all, a poem for cat-lovers. well, though i don’t love cats, i do like the poem, very much. to MyPoemList. we don't grow corn in our lawns in the U.S. in fact, with the drought in California, lots of us do not grow grass! at least not in the dry months [which have invaded the wet months.... : ( …..] if you feel sufficiently sorry for us/U.S. send water! California will send YOU (some of) our sunshine. :) is the meat just a toy? bri ;)
