Cat and Ball

January 21, 2009

Dew on a branch twig
on a cold morning
Sparrow poking on crumbs
on the sidewalk where I walk

I need to be alone,
Quiet, take it in,
apart from all of their opinions
I just need me afterall,
and the One above.

My cat curled
like a potato
on the rug,
by her blue toy ball
That's all she needs,
as she is.
And then she sleeps.

Short and neat, positive and sweet.

A sweet, little slice of life inlaid with pretty cliches & accessible imagery.

Great poem, this is truly poetry, I like the way you described the sceen, and I know you had alot on your mind during your walk. nice poem and title, I will give it a 10, return the favor and read mine.

Poetry is either something that lives like fire inside you or else it is nothing, an empty formalized bore around which pedants can endlessly drone their notes and explanations.
