So far, she is an independent cuss A twitchy-tailed streak of sable and white Unless her tummy is full, then, oh then! You can have your way with her...roll her over And rub her pink-tinged belly, scratch behind the ears, Tug on each paw and rub between the paw pads, 'til she Demurely pulls away or attacks with all four and a couple of bites! She definitely see things that aren't there, muttering under her breath. A low warning to within hearing range, I am Cat, hear me roar well, "meep" really, belying the Fierce Within. None of which gets us closer to a name, though Toelle (Too-el-ah) seems to be pleasing to her. (My bro thinks it's too much like "Cruella Deville" from the dalmatian movies.:-)
An Attempt
The sky is vast and overcast A pall of smoke and clouds Mixing to thwart the sun, Ironically, burning bringing Such protection from other burning.
The river is down so low Great patches of flat, oval stones Pave the shallows in which people play, Something more life-threatening in high water times.
A slight breeze stirs the chimes And dissipates the heat a bit. My prayer flags have been in Constant motion wafting our hopes, Gratitude, thoughts of others aloft To the Great Physician, Creator, God/dess Or just into our hearts where we can nestle And protect...may all in need be assured Of such help and the Beauty all around them.
