Feline First by Glenn CurrierThe sun is already warming
the first arousal of morning
but my lover is traveling the hills
and valleys of her dreams still.
Sweetpea knows the sounds
of my awakening and abounds
onto the bed’s corner place
where I read my first daily stirring of grace.
She knows of all the places she could land
it is here she gets the glide of my left hand
my hand across her soft brown coat she is well-versed
for she knows this time of day she is first.

I absolutely love the flow and expression of this topic, as I too am a cat lover. We currently are the caretakers of two males- my deceased mother's cat (old) and a recent stray kitten that came up to us as we checked our mail on my son's farm.I maintain two households where each lives and the cats occasionally cross paths when I bring one to visit. They are loving but also possessive, jeolous animals. Thanks for sharing this work. Very well done and much enjoyed. :) |
