This is totally impossible to do. Well, not quite because I just did it but not very well..er badly. I asked myself, “what could I write about on Christmas Day when I woke up?”. It had to be a bit of fun and it had to be bright and white. Ah, I’ll write a poem….
Five minutes later….Oh no, I won’t write a poem I’ll do something else. As you probably know, writing a poem, even a bad one, is not easy.
I set myself a maximum of about 15 lines to limit the amount pain I had to endure in writing it 😉
She looked lazily out of the frosty window
It was a beautiful, crisp and even scene
She looked for a glimmer of bird activity
That would brighten up her moody mien
“Alaska” was a chubby white purebred mix
She was proud to be a rescue cat
Who was the best at doing tremendous tricks
“She’s like a dog” her humans kept saying
“No, I’m not” Alaska thought
As she lay quietly on her warmed up mat
I’m just a cat, a very good cat
Who likes the snow at Christmas time
Who likes to play when the weather is fine
To be out, to mess up that crisply even scene
My human will take a picture; well, he might
I look great in the snow. It’s white on white
In good old England, this morning, as I wrote the poem, there was thunder and lighting. It has been raining most of the night. Not a glimmer of a hope for even a single flake of the white stuff….Happy Christmas.
Waxing…yes but not lyrically 😉 LOL. I wanted to try and do something Christmasy and dived in. And yes don’t ever, ever, mention California weather to an Englishman living like a mole in winter.
My my, Michael waxing poetic. What a nice Christmas treat. I’ll be kind and not talk about the weather here.:)
It dried up at about 3 pm. Hopeless weather. Hope you had a nice Christmas Day.
Great poem Michael
It’s rained on and off here too for most of the day but no thunder or lightning, you can keep that down South lol
HAPPY CHRISTMAS everyone
Thanks Liz. I didn’t think to much about what to say, so I guess the rescue cats are in my heart and mind. They are the cats that need us and we owe them a home. Thanks for saying I am brave. Happy Christmas to you too. The rain has just stopped in London, England. Hurrah 😉
Hi Michael,
Congratulations on being brave enough to write a poem and post it online. Not everyone would have the courage.
The two things I like best about it is it’s appropriate for the picture you’ve provided and it mentions rescue cats. I don’t recall seeing a poem that mentions rescue cats before.
Happy Christmas to you and your cats. Happy Christmas to all cat lovers.
