The Stray Cat Inn

Just words.

                         The Stray Cat Inn

The night  was dark and the night was long. The Poet was seeking final place to rest tonight. A  sign directed him north.  He found the last road on the dead-end road. A small sign stated, Last Chance Inn is 100 feet away.

A welcome sign hung on the open door. "Come on in, all is welcome, the drinks are good and the people are not dangerous. The Stray Cat Inn, sacred place for people looking for no-one and no-where.

The Stray Cat Inn is cool. Top shelf booze and pretty ladies serving strong drinks. At the Stray Cat Inn, don't need to confess, don't need to seek forgiveness and don't need to cry for things gone and lost.

A cursed life, a blessed life. It is alright, all is fair and falls into proper place.

Stray Cat Inn welcome all.

This is even more playful than your usual fare & I love when you write this way! "Stray Cat Inn" is such a great name & it makes me want to think back to the shady spots I've discovered during some of my younger roving days! *wink! wink!* The way you describe the "high points" of your party place -- it's all the stuff we used to enjoy in a favorite hang-out! *smile* Fondly, Margie

What a delightful write....:) Just be careful now, after the second night, it may just turn into Hotel California! :P

[Coyote Poetry]

I like Hotel California. I believe I found this hotel in Santa Cruz in 1992. Thank you my friend for reading and the comment. I do appreciate.

[SleeplessVolcano]

That's why I say you need to write a novel my friend.....each person on earth walks around with a thousand stories in their hearts.....and that skill is what separates us from animals.....we can tell stories...:)

[Coyote Poetry]

I agree. I believe I wrote a story for Hotel California. Maybe I need another.

[SleeplessVolcano]

Did you publish it here?

[Coyote Poetry]

I will look for it. I have 1700 poems on the W.C. I will a new one tonight.
