11:03 am - "Yellow Eyes" in EVERY DAY POETS
My cinquain "Yellow Eyes" now appears on-line at Every Day Poets. Please check it out, perhaps leave a comment, and maybe rate it as well. Thanks!
Although I was inspired to write this poem after reading a story about a ghost cat, I deliberately left the potentially supernatural nature of the piece ambiguous. It may be a speculative cinquain about a ghostly feline, or it may simply be a literary work about a mundane cat.
After all, there is something a bit spooky about all felines. Traditional lore often linked them to the supernatural. Perhaps those old tales were more than just fanciful yarns. Perhaps the storytellers of yore knew something about cats that we modern folk do not.

02:13 pm - My Comment on it All...
I'm fed up again. My daughter took this photo of our one cat sticking her tongue out. I figured, with a little modification, it suited my mood at the moment.
So I'm just going to blow a cat raspberry at all those miserable people out there trying to drag me down into their stagnant, reeking pools of misery. Somehow, even as pessimistic as I can be, I have more hope for life, the universe, and everything than that. I certainly hope I'm better than that.
Our cat actually DOES blow raspberries on occasion. How talented is that? Then again, maybe she's just copying what her daddy's been known to do.
