Otto woke early today
Then of course, so did I.
Walking to the kitchen
Setting out his food.
I tried for more sleep
but he had plans
that do not allow sleep.
Now it is noon
and a nap awaits
for both of us.
If he stops snoring.

Pets
A Cat Named Lucifer
Lucifer, he was called
(Not an ordinary cat)
He can banish demons
(otherwise known as dogs).
He knows time
(Especially dinner time).
No one can awaken him
when he sleeps.
No doubt about it!
He has super powers
And he knows how
to use them!
(Be careful out there.)

If I Laugh*
Very often,
my cat makes me laugh.
I laugh a little bit
then laugh a bit more
And then
I can’t stop laughing.
Then the cat says “more”!
(He actually loves Cat Stevens
song “If I Laugh”
and so do I)
So we laugh
some more,
together.

AWAKEN
A chair sits outside
next to a table.
The table holds
a plate of cookies
and a cup if coffee.
A woman sits
on the chair
reading a book
sipping the cup.
A raindrop falls
and the woman leaves
her chair but
takes the cookies
and coffee cups
inside her house.
Her cat awakes.

Otto?
There goes Otto the cat
Singing his tune
Does he sleep?
Does he eat?
What does a cat do?
He enjoys!

Day 13
Cats and Dogs
A cat meows
A dogs barks
The cat climbs a tree
The dog watches him go
The dog barks
The cat meows
The dog wags his tail
The cat rubs against him
All is well.
Every Morning
Every morning
I sit in my reading chair
with a cup of coffee.
There is also my cat,
who finds my lap and purrs.
There is a record player
that plays smooth music.
We carry on until the music stops
(or until we get hungry),
then we move on to
and the work of the day.
The Meeting
The cat snuck outside
on a sunny day
The bear left its cave
full of darkness
How strange they met
by a pond
The meeting was short
the cat ran home
the bear played in the pond.
All is well.

Basking
Otto is happy
watching squirrels in the snow
while he basks inside.
Observer
Dogs walking outdoors
In sun, rain, or cold
Cat watches from inside
Very happy to be an observer.
