OctPoWriMo 23 - An Ode to Dawn

Prompt: fur babies
Form: Ode



An Ode to Dawn

You knew what you liked;
I always felt blessed when you let me hold you.
With others, you’d struggle:
“Put me down!”
You liked to talk:
Meowing and purring and chirruping.
You wanted to be outside.
You thought we were so mean to keep you inside.
But we wanted to keep you safe.
I miss you.

OctPoWriMo 4 - A Feline Love Story

Today's prompt is "_____________ and other strange animals." While, at first glance, my piece may not seem so "strange," I hope I succeeded in putting more into it than appears at a surface read.

A Feline Love Story

A ginger met a tabby on a warm September day;
With lifted ears and curving tails, they greeted one another.
Their noses touched, they wound around each other like ballet,
They spoke a language older than the sweet savour of summer.

Together stalking, playing, they found joy in company,
And never were apart for more than a few minutes’ time
Naps were warmer, bathing better, life truly carefree
With a warm body beside you, you can meet anything.
