About Alexandra Heep:

Alexandra Heep is a longtime writer, chronic over-thinker, and recovering content mill survivor. Her work has appeared in literary journals, anthologies, and online platforms where words are still respected. She writes children’s books, health reflections, and the occasional blog post laced with humor and hard-won honesty. After years of illness, detours, and navigating the noise of modern wellness, she returned to writing with the firm belief that stories—like people—don’t have to be perfect to matter. She publishes under multiple pen names and drinks more goat milk than you’d expect.

Cats

For the following poem I had a somewhat different approach: I wanted to use some uncommon words to describe cats, so I looked on the web and found a list of "the top 100 most beautiful words" (or something like that). I chose the following to use for the poem:

ailurophile
chatoyant
cynosure
demure
felicity
lissome
opulent
And here is the result.

Any ailurophile will gladly tell
Feline creatures rule and excel
Lissome bodies with opulent fur
Become cynosure for the debonaire

Felicity embodied with chatoyant gaze
Regal poses full of epicurean grace
Capture even a pauper's whim
Chances of eluding cat's charm are slim.
