Sorta Kinda Tanka

Bleary and dull,

moving through life half asleep.

And yet, there are cats

and the sound of rain on a roof

and the smell of fresh apples.

Written Yesterday

Two cats sleeping --
one using my foot
as her pillow. 

------------------------------------

Two cats sleep -- 
one balled-up ball of fur snores,
one a silent oval.

I hope that some of the love for these two I feel has come across. I love my cats SO MUCH! 

For Carol

As the rain drums down,
may the sound lull you to sleep,
silence your worries.

9/27/15

Whiskers tickle,
paws-- with just a tad of claw--
Well, I'm awake now.

These Days...

rarely do I watch
a sunrise in real time
while not having slept.

I feel and hear
you breathe. Your side of the bed
is warm, comforting.

Furry bodies lie...

Furry bodies lie,
some as if sleeping, others
twisted by Death’s maul.
