 It’s Poetry Month!!!      

  Dear Carl Sandburg…

 
                          You wrote of fog on ‘little cat feet’
                          with a different breed in mind.cat mittens
                         The three young cats that stay with me
                          have feet of a larger kind.
                    
                          At night my house is full of noise
                          as they rumble room to room.
                          Their pounding paws can cause a quake
                          that’s at least an 8.2.
                    HOUSE CATS
                          I always know when they’re awake.
                         They thunder down the halls
                          as they chase ghosts and mice,
                          and things that live between the walls.          
          
                          Oh, Carl,
                          would you please trade a while?
                          I’ll gladly take a cat
                          that creeps and sneaks across the room
                                  while I get in a nap!

    Very cute! I love my cats, but they are not the quiet and docile type.

    Awesome poem! I can see the cats “thunder down the halls as they chase ghost and mice.” :) I enjoyed this.
