Today's prompt on the NaPoWriMo Facebook site was to write a love poem about the first "thing" I saw when looking up from the computer. Well, that was Princess Gracie, my cat. In addition to the new poem, I am sharing one that I wrote about Princess Gracie a few years back. It is called A Stretch and a Purr and it appears in the Write to Meow 2014 Anthology (Grey Wolfe Publishing).
Expressive green eyes
light up my day
soft marbled fur
soothes my worries away.
Her comforting purr
never leaves my side
my days are much easier
just because of her.

A Stretch and a Purr Green-eyed beauty up on the window sill A portrait behind her of life, not still Blue sky painted with shades of ivory Autumn's breeze captures her feline fancy Calico colors reflected in glass Perched high above concrete, people, and grass A comforting shape, she's contentedly Steadied by a tail curved elegantly. Slowly shifts after a stretch and a purr Just to bring to me … sunshine in her fur.
