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')

Small Cat Every Morning


Small cat goes every morning
to examine the tranquil garden:
around, behind, underneath the leaves,
down paths and into corners.

To examine the tranquil garden
needs close inspection, and takes time.
She returns often to my chair, for pats.

Around, behind, underneath the leaves
she may discover new gardenia buds
or lizards. She looks back at me, to say, 'See!'

Down paths and into corners
I watch her explore with nose and alert ears.
She likes to make sure it's safe for her and me.





















A trimeric, the latest Poetic Asides challenge.

  6. If I had to be a cat or a dog, I'd choose cat. They are such thoughtful, curious, dignified creatures and yours sits like a queen.
