NovPAD – Day 1

Yay, November is here! Time for the unforgettable NovPAD and NaNoWriMo where I plan to participate again. Day 1 prompt is quite romantic – Before You Leave. My difficulty is that right now I don’t have the sad angle, so I chose to mention my favourite animal.

Before You Leave

Image: mine

Let me tell you about the panther
napping in the back yard.

Waiting for my caress, she sleeps
all day and hunts all night.
A lovely creature hungry for life.

Before you leave,
take a minute to admire her
and to consider what might make you stay.

The Jellical Cats And I

They would come and go
in furry gangs,
step close to my bed,
look up with gleaming eyes,
waiting,
their whiskers caressing my palms.

They would step on soft paws,
days in, nights out,
cutely walking all over my stuff,
around
my world of ghastly solitude,
tabby beauties, black-and-whites, gingers
of all breeds an size.

And I’d step out of that room,
under the cold jellical moon
into the outside where
we’d search for the Heavyside layer.

A Total Glory Haiku – Day 29 of April PAD

She’s a true feline
Soft fur combines with soft purr
Glory embodied.

A Purpose Fun Tanka – Day 13 of April PAD

**

This snug little pile – our cat
horrendously paws across
all the house rules
defeating her prime sense of purpose –
cuddle with us.

To write a purpose poem was the prompt at Poetic Asides for Day 13, but I decided to take a day off from serious poeming, and catch up on posting and other things. Today, I thought why not try the tanka form? It’s fun, it’s cool and I didn’t do it correctly. Well, I hope this is a nice little piece for this cutie sleeping in my favourite armchair just next to my desk – our cat. If you see her, you’d wonder why I used the word “little”. Smiles and joy to all!
