Hell, this sounds like my marriage at times; we don't communicate so well also. At least I get a homemade meal, even though i usually do the dishes. : ) bri

Keen observation my friend, at the time I wrote this it was indeed meant toward the relationship that I had with my now ex-wife.

I'd love to chat with a talking cat. Why can't I have a friend like that?

I enjoyed this tale about a man and his cat- - if only you had added a horse, I would have joined you on that magic bench. Enjoyed this very original poem very much, Smoky. Top marks

I agree with sweetpea, Jenny Gordon. Kinda sad too. But a well constructed poem. Another ten Smokey.

Fascinating, and seeming apt metaphor of the feline as a female, unable to see life and the world from exactly the same perspective, yet happily friends. Very interesting. Curious imagery of a crane and the Thames. Thought-provoking. I enjoyed it.
