Early Monday Morning Observations

How my morning began.

Another broken night's sleep

For my exhausted body

As Star lays sleeping

By my side

The alarm clock displays

2: 48 am.

Gentle tugging

On a blanket

I cover Star

Restroking a dormant engine

As her purring grows louder

From a faint whisper.

Finding her paper ball

Gently place it

Between her paws

Awakening

A sleeping dynamo.

As a smile spreads

Across my face

Seeing the whirling dervish

Strike my bed

Re-arranging everything.

But I do not care

For this is

Quality time

Spent with a love one

Now resting

At the foot of my bed.

A warmly written poetic piece that made me smile. I suffer from insomnia, and I have two cats, so I can relate to this poem!

Thank you, Distantview. Star, is one of three cats that grace my life. I took in Star, as a rescued kitten, almost 20 months ago. Here is a link to a poem that I posted here, about her.

My other two cats are, a tom named Squeak and his sister, Venus. Both are orange short hair tabbies.

Thank you Therisa, for sharing this wonderfully expressed love affair between you and a star from the night's sky, your have evoked a good hearty smile in me :)

Umm Sheema, I am describing the antics of Star, one of three cats that graces my apartment. Honestly, I never thought this poem could be read, like you have done.
