Lunch Nudge
By Sara Codair
Me:
focused on a wordy screen
until a black cloud
obscures my sight.
Fluff in my face
tickles my nose –
a feather duster
made of fur.
I sneeze.
He leaps.
Paws thud
on carpeted floor.
Trilling chirps
precede the tail
that floats
like a periscope
as it wanders
towards the kitchen.
Trills evolve,
meows break
like rollers
in my ears.
Fluff rubs
on bare calves.
Feathered tail
caresses knees.
Meows demand
what’s in the can
be transferred
to the bowl.
I obey.
Purrs rumble
out of the fluff.
Content,
the kitty eats
while I stand guard.
A lot of truth in one poem. I have 2 just like that. 🙂
Purrrrrrrr-fect.
Gorgeous fluffy cat, wonderful poem 🙂
Ciao

Impressive tail, impressive cat. No wonder poetry was inspired.

I’ve had a similar experience time and time again with my cats but never thought to write a poem about it. Love this! Very witty, detailed and well written.
Thanks for committing. 🙂

Beautiful and true
cool!
So enjoyable.x
I love the poem, but the writer is lucky. My cat, Lena, is much more demanding!
Goose can be more demanding, but most of the time, it isn’t necessary as he has me well trained.

So true, especially the ‘demanding food be put in the bowl’ part. Also, cute cat!!! 😉
