Bereft - NaPoWriMo #4

The word

bereft

sits on my chest

both a heaviness

and an

emptiness

 

Like a cat,

lonely, enormous , and

exquisitely painful

 

But lovely too

it the way that music

can sometimes be

 

And I walk

through the world

like that

 

with that weight

and  that emptiness

on my chest,

in my chest,

 

I go through the empty motions

of a life,  of sorts,

and no one ever notices.

April's Fool - NaPoWriMo #1

I'm fool

for the rain

for grey, cloudy skies

and wind blowing

 

Give me a book and a chair

and a cup of something warm

a cat or a dog to sit with me

and I can’t think of a more pleasant way

to spend an afternoon.

 

Give me a rainy day.

give me a storm.

give me a book.

That’s all I ask.

Friday 55 - Catwalk

I live in the country.

I have a barn, and barn cats.

The cats come with me on my walks.

I walk a long way and they have short legs.

Summer get so blasted hot,

and the winters get bitterly cold.

 

I tell them to go home

but of course, being cats,

they don't listen.

                       

 

This is for Hedgewitch at Verse Escape who carries on the good work of Friday 55 started by Galen.
