Hi everyone.

This November I will be presenting to you a month of daily poems as memoir, little ditties to tell you about my day or my thoughts during the day, whatever.  Of course I hope you enjoy them, but it’s ok if you don’t.  Just move on to the next blog in your list.

Day seventeen is: “For today’s prompt, write a refresh poem. A person might refresh their browser, or give their home decor a little refresh. Lemonade on a hot summer’s day could be refreshing. And well, a positive news story is refreshing as well. Poems, of course, are refreshing too.”

If only it were that simple

All I need
to refresh

is an end to the week,
a glass of wine,
and a kitten
on my lap

Hi everyone.

This November I will be presenting to you a month of daily poems as memoir, little ditties to tell you about my day or my thoughts during the day, whatever.  Of course I hope you enjoy them, but it’s ok if you don’t.  Just move on to the next blog in your list.

Day sixteen is: “For today’s prompt, write an animal poem. Your poem can be about an animal (or animals), feature one in passing, and/or be written from the perspective of an animal. Your poem, your call.”

Perspective

Cat highs:

Fireplaces
dinner time
little pieces of paper rolled up in balls
stained glass on window waiting to be batted

Cat lows:

Late breakfasts
human getting up, disturbing rest
little pieces of paper rolling under furniture
being yelled at by human while enjoying batting stained glass

There should always be
more cat highs
than lows
