TANKA TUESDAY CHALLENGE NO 46...PUENTE POEM....... FRIDAY WRITINGS # 209

START WHERE YOU ARE
Where I'm at? Not a good place at the moment

USE WHAT YOU HAVE
I have a poem that I wrote which hopefully brings a smile

DO WHAT YOU CAN
to bring a little cheer .


it is... but they are referring to the weather !

My world like the real one is not a fun place at the moment




they strum their guitars
all day and all through the night 
keeping us awake






we are allergic
to caterwauling folk songs
tis a cat's nightmare

  3. I had to look up caterwauling and wonder why it didn't end with wailing. I felt the irritation and also the playfulness about it.

  8. Your work in my book is always great. No apologies needed. Cats are ignorant about good and bad poetry as am I.

    Fun verse. I'm petless, but I have cats I can visit. One of them caterwalls with such an awful sound - but given that he is close to 17 years old we cut him some slack. :)
