Bear

Bear in the woods loves the stars at night..
Constellation Ursa gives lovely light..
Its friend the moon lights the sky when it's clear..
Mother.. she keeps her sweet cub near.
The midnight sky is a magnificent sight.

      Have a lovely evening, all..

I Have Returned!

Hello, all!  I'm baaaaaaaack. Sorry to have been gone so long. I hope to be back for good.. no prolonged absences. I want to post here about three times a week. I've been over at Wordpress writing short stories, and I'm having a blast. I had a cancer scare this past spring and throughout the summer, but the test results all came back benign. That is one of the best words in our world!

I hope you are all well. I have missed you!

Have an excellent weekend, and take great care!   Be back very soon!

Timothy

It's been a long time since I've written one of my little rhyme stories, so now I'm feeling the urge. :) This one is not about one of my kitties, but an imaginary one.. just for fun...


             Timothy Cat is a sweet Tabby boy..
             He doesn't hunt real mice, only his catnip toy..
             He sleeps at the foot of his human Kate's bed..
             Tim's other best friend is Kate's Collie Jed..
             The kitty next door is a Maine Coon named Roy!

             Tim and Roy compete for the affections of neighbor kitty, Grace!
             When she sees them she flirts and they both take chase..
             When the three are together, they like to talk..
             But Kate doesn't know.. She's in for quite a shock!
             Though they know she'd keep their secret... she has a kind face. :)

                             To be continued..

           
         

Pink Panther Haiku

                         Pink kitty who tries..
                         Gets into so much mischief..
                         Loved by this girl lots!

Proper Meditation

                               Kitty tucked under..
                               On what is he so focused?
                               Absolute stillness.

I don't think any human is ever as zen as a feline can be.  I wonder what a kitty is thinking when he/she sits all tucked under, resembling a loaf of bread.  Such a direct stare.  I wonder.  Does he chant in his mind?  :)  Om.. om.. om..  Or does he plan for an upcoming nap?  I have a meditation practice of my own.  But i just can't achieve that same kind of stillness.  I get antsy.  I think about all the things i could/should be doing.  I'm getting better at it though.  I'll be zen with stuff eventually, right?

Our kitty Snickers.  She looks focused on something, though i've no idea what..

You all have a beautiful Sunday tomorrow!  Peace, and i'll be back soon..
