a mother to all the dear sweet cats
darling creatures that give us joy
god's creation to teach us
love and tranquillity
a loneliness cure
curbing anger
cats are our
lovely
friends
TANKA FOR MARMALADE BOY
no room for anger
when living with a ginger
marmalade boy who
immeasurably enriched
when living with a ginger
marmalade boy who
immeasurably enriched
her sad life beyond compare
Great poems, Rall!

She is so lucky to have that ginger marmalade boy as a source of comfort. He is adorable.
ReplyDeleteOne has to love your 'marmalade boy'. So lovely to see him appear in poems. How lovely that cats are instrumental in 'curbing anger'. I love the nonet form.
ReplyDeleteCurbing anger, no room for anger . . . the best a cat has to offer!
ReplyDeleteBoth cats and dogs are good antidotes to anger, it seems!
ReplyDeleteI am glad cats have their own saint watching over them - a lovely and uplifting appreciation on your furry companions! Jae
ReplyDeleteRall, I love this nonet. Cats are a true gift from the "mother" goddess! I'm with you, our cats bring us so much joy! ❤️
ReplyDeleteLove this, Rall. Animals do so much for us.
