Concerning First Amendment Right And Left
by Philip F De Pinto
Freedom of speech
Freedom of speech everywhere
And not a droplet of a thing to say
I can't in any way blame the cat
For absconding with my palaver
Cocoa by any other name
Would not land as sweetly on her feet
Who retreated from this earth
Before her kittens were born
One sunny morn
Consumed by another calling
Who was not so much falling
As slurped all the way down a fire escape
By the thirsty air
Warm sprinklings of fur and all
Lunging at a sparrow

| Posted by Chris Sorrenti on 12/30/13 at 03:58 PM Except for the quality of writing, the subject matter of your poetry is always as unpredictable as a cat. Love the combination of human and feline traits. Great intro also with those first three lines. Happy New Year Phil, and continued success with your writing in 2014! |
