The Picture Of Bliss Poem by Glen Kappy
The Picture Of Bliss
from "Curious Creatures"
He's one with carpet
before the blazing hearth stove—
a puddle of fur
and one tooth that escapes
the smile on his upturned face.
Love it- I thought it about a dog but I see another thinks a cat! Maybe a turtle lover will come along and think it is about a turtle, I pray though that no lion lover reads this poem! ! ! ! Very well done, Glen. It is indeed a picture of bliss! 10
As a cat lover I enjoyed this fantastic poem and you describe the cat by the fire superbly. Kudos. Hope you are well. Pls Pleez do read and comment my newest prose titled, ' miraculous birds witnessed in sacred sanctuary"
they so complete our lives! ! ! ! excellent topic and handling! ! !
I can picture it! Love the one tooth differentiating him from the carpet. Our cat is black and often blends in with what he lies on - and nearly gets sat on or stepped on...
Hey, Laurie! On my end it shows I never responded to this comment of yours, though I wonder if it’s just another PH problem along with the one where it’s stopped sending email alerts about comments. Anyway, more confined than usual with COVID-19 going around, I’m catching up. Thank you for reading and commenting. Hoping this finds you tip top. -Glen
As a cat lover I assume that it is a cat snugly resting on the carpet as a bundle of fur. You have given a vivid and arresting snapshot of a lovely scene. This scene is masterfully captured with an economy of words.
Hey, Valsa! It appears I never responded to this comment of yours. Indoors more with COVID-19, I’m trying to catch up. (Since PH no longer sends me email alerts to comments on my poem, I’m having to go through my recent postings to find them.) Anyway, thank you, as always, for your kind reading and response. Be/stay well. -Glen
