I ... entered the poem of life, whose purpose is ... simply to witness the beauties of the world, to discover the many forms that love can take. (Barabara Blackman in 'Glass After Glass')

The New Cat



















Her back,
a slim violin,
moves before I get the photo.
But I caught
her front view – those long white whiskers
against the over-all black:
stylish!


(The poetic form is the Cameo, which is syllabic:
lines of 2, 5, 8, 3, 8, 7, 2 syllables in turn.)

    This is gorgeous and sleek, like your cat. I have the same difficulties with my dog and my children.

    I'm glad you got a black cat. Those are over-looked because of superstition and all

    She is SO stylish! So challenging to capture them in photos. Hope it's going well over there.

    i can relate to those white whiskers. my mustache has transitioned to a gray-white even though my hair is mostly still black. the longevity of the black in my hair must be because of my mexican indian heritage.
