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
Some of my best friends are animals. My horse, my dog, my goldfish...
The more intelligent of the two Is the cat and this I must confide His eyes are more focused and true While ours often take us for a ride.................. Great poem of yours Sir and I invite you to my page for your valuable comments
So very moving....I loved this poem....and I love my cat too......along with my dog....who are my lifelong friends....
This is a wonderful poem with an amazing metric underlying it.
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.
A lovely poem Smoky, i hope you and your cat have many more years together then maybe we will read more lovely poems like this.
Bloody Classic! Have printed it off for my grandsons hope you don't mind Smoky. Excellent and memorable piece. Am going to twitter it too. Best Regards Craig.
Yes! What fun, what fun, and so WELL done! An enjoyment, indeed! Constance
Extraordinary thoughts and tenderness in this poem. Far reaching and unforgettable. So natural and appealing.
