no dogs allowed the signage says so
this is a cat's domain a feed to the finish
no fishing here one needs to follow the show
we do it our own way waiting by the shore
fish galore on a good day
as sacrificial lambs for us to pick and choose
a rich diet of protein sans rice or flour
we sit on grass no rice-fields or wheat-fields
to forge a flow and freeze on fats and starch
fringe benefits accrue only to us cats
fibers of imagination are closed
to forge a flow and freeze on fats and starch
fringe benefits accrue only to us cats
fibers of imagination are closed
just plain nutritious omega-3 rich
to flirt with any idea of sharing
with wayside mongrels is nil
this is cat country no two ways about it

Yay Kitty ... got to go where dogs can't!
ReplyDelete"as sacrificial lambs for us to pick and choose

These lines are rich themselves, Hank, in description. It's beautiful. It sounds like you have a preference for cats! Hahaha. I can't blame you, I have many myself.
Such a beautifully written piece. This is a fantastic take on the prompt, and who doesn't love cats?
I came for the kitty title, stayed for the brilliant poetry. Ah, I merely jest. I always look forward to your work! Brilliant piece.
I love the alliteration here, especially: 'to forge a flow and freeze on fats and starch' and I love this land you've created just for cats: No country for (old) dogs, or any other kind!
ReplyDeleteI love this image! I am on a similar diet at the moment, no carbohydrates. I also like the alliteration and humour in the lines:
ReplyDelete‘to forge a flow and freeze on fats and starch
fringe benefits accrue only to us cats’.
we sit on grass no rice-fields or wheat-fields
ReplyDeleteto forge a flow and freeze on fats and starch
powerful lines, Hank. your fondness for cats show!
This is Cat Country says it all. Great photo to write to.
ReplyDelete....ah the challenges of diet....
ReplyDelete....ah the challenge of cats...."It's like herding cats!"
This made me smile.
Cats... you have to love them. I eat a lot of bread at the moment.
