to be, just, to be
liberated souls gather
where the hearth glows warm

Persuaded – A Haiku

i am persuaded
that no thing is important
it’s true, things perish

Merlin – 42 Day 31
no concept
of personal space
nudging closer, closer
sprawled on my chest
heavy feet kneading rhythmically
nose to nose, breath to breath

Here we are on the last day of Jane Dougherty’s Daily Poem Challenge, “42”. I am certain that there are many questions left unanswered, even after an exhaustive 31 day effort. I had several unfinished drafts in my notebook. This one seemed to me to be a perfect one to finish and end on. My cat Merlin has a way of putting things into perspective for me when I become too bothered with the questions of life. His message, I am sharing with you today…
“You don’t have anywhere you need to be ‘mon chéri’ (yes, he talks to me this way…), except right here. Let me feel your fingers behind my ears and along my back as I press my paws against your soft flesh. All you need to do this minute, my dear Kat, is look deeply into my eyes and breathe…in and out…slowly…just breathe…your questions and their answers can wait.”
It’s been fun Jane. Thanks for the poetry form prompt. 🙂
…as a hatter
…as a hatter
daydreams
rollicking mirth
could hint that one is mad
for believing utopias
exist

The Fish Pond

Ned’s wife wanted a fish pond.
“Oh Ned,” Charlotte swooned, “you know I’ve always dreamed of it. A shallow basin swimming with beautiful koi, water lilies, edged with smooth boulders, horsetail reeds, lizard tails, I love those, and corkscrew rush…and maybe a little fountain, with lights. Betty told me their guy installed it all in a day. Should I call him? She said he’d give us a fair price.”
Ned nodded, as his dear wife spoke. “I can do it honey,” he said.
Three weeks later, knee deep in spring water Ned relented, “Char…that guy….you still have his number?”
