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')

Perspectives

closing the doors 
from house to garden –
smell of new paint

nervous cat
under my chair –
saws whining

radio next door
cheerful loud voices –
advertisement

my prick-eared cat sits alert –
I fall asleep in the sun

    Ah, we all need a 'prick-eared cat,' I think to be on guard at those times we fall asleep. Smiles.

    Fun to catch a nap in the middle of all the noise and activity.

    Well you are comfortable with the sound but the cat is not. He will sit on you and fall asleep as soon as they are gone!

    A soothing nap despite all the ads thingy and with kitty kat napping too, how peaceful must be the feeling!

    To fall asleep like that sounds like the best of things.. somehow the noises become like music

    love all these little vignettes of life.
    each one tells a mundane slice of life, and it is the sum of these little ordinary images that make the poem interesting. :)

    The smell of new paint is unforgettable. Just your words awakened the scent in my nostrils!
