The owl and the pussycat went to sea
And found they couldn’t swim
They had to call the coastguard out,
The captains name was Jim.
He told them to get in his boat
It was a pretty sight,
An owl, a cat and one old stoat
With souwester and pipe.

Cats
One is excited
Running around,
the other, up
on the cupboard,
paws stretched.
Oh to be a cat,
relax when you want,
sleep, chase.
Rest, sleep again.
Eat, feast, taste, drink,
sleep….
stretch, yawn, play…
adventures in dreams.
Limerick challenge…
I just wrote this at Easter Chiltons blog, where the prompt was to use the word nose on some part of the limerick…
I hope you think this is funny! 😂
Daisies
This summer I hope to see daisies and Vinca
green leaves and yellow flowers.
Aquilegia is fading, Poppy flowering in sun.
The garden changes so fast,
you have to run to keep up…..
climbing roses tower over paths,
Sweet showers of rain swell the fruit………………………………………
Soon it will be autumn again.
Fallen leaves and dead flowers.
Enjoy the sun
While you can.
Before the storm
The sky turned orange
Then maroon.
The sun crept under the curtain of cloud,
Sneaking out and staring through the rain.
Rainbows end in the murk
Towards the other horizon.
Light spills, then disappears.
The thunder thrills through the air,
Bouncing from chimneys and roofs,
Clattering slates,
Boom-rumble-thudding,
Flash, crash, splitting the new dark.
The storm is here.
Kitten
Blurry kitten
Went away
To a new home
Three years ago
To stay
Kittens grown
And feeling loved
But I would have
You back
Today
Half of beer.
Just to sit
at a table,
half of beer,
in my hand,
a quiet river,
flowing by.
A dream of freedom,
no distractions,
quiet and relaxing
time to rest.
No stress no worries,
just a dream,
the world passing
slowly leaving
me behind.
This was I
Where I live,
Who I am,
What I do,
How I think,
Where I work,
My companion,
What I trained as,
My books,
My life,
My I.
My me!
Crossed paws
The cat has taken up residence on the microwave. He likes it in the kitchen because I think it’s cooler for him in the evening. The other cat sleeps upstairs. I just move things out of his way and he settles down. I like it when he crosses his front paws over his nose. He looks so cute.
Snuggled.
Paws crossed,
keeping the light out,
closed eyes,
relaxed,
asleep.
Sweet.
Paws twitch,
mad dream,
running and chasing
in his mind.
You can’t catch me,
he thinks,
as he curls into a tighter ball.
Backstamp
If you turn over a cup,
a mug,
a teapot
a jug?
If you look under your plate.
you may find a mark
light or dark.
Pottery thrown
Or molded?
An indented word
or a print of a symbol
so whatever you think,
you can see
who made your sink
your teacup
on the table
underneath?
A label.
A backstamp
to tell you who
made it.
