cute cat






                      cute cat



                      a sleek black cat
                      surrounded
                      by tatters of tortoiseshell
                      butterflies
                                         sat before a bed
                      of pink carnations

                      preens and licks
                      lithe shoulders
                                               flashes
                      her eyes at me

                      princess and tart

    Brilliant

    Love this piece. Short and simple and the language used is just brilliant. Very well-written indeed. You have talent.

    Loved your characterization of this feline. She reminds me of Mehitabel (Don Marquis). That last line: "princess and tart", zingy insight into the soul of cats...

    What sumptuous use of language! When read aloud slowly it's so smooth it's almost like running your finger tips over warm velvet. Just wonderful!
