Tao- cat

Tao-cat sleeps in the sunbeams.
Tao-cat runs in the night.
Tao-cat climbs up the moonbeams.
She loves both shadows and light.

Tao-cat only reads faces.
Tao-cat never reads books.
Tao-cat hunts in wide spaces.
Tao-cat hides in the nooks.

Tao-cat chases her tale.
_round and round
_no sight of her beginning
_ no worry of her end
Tao-cat would let out a terrible sound.
There is not tellin’ where that cat’s been!

Tao-cat gives me a poke.
Tao-cat’s universe is at play.
If she ever suddenly spoke,
I wonder what Taocat would say!

stray cat poem (again)

I am a stray cat.
A lone creature scurrying for scraps
Of knowledge in life’s back alleys.
Midnight choruses with kindred souls
Fill the cold night with songs of restlessness.

Thanks to T.S Elliot’s “Rum Tum Tugger” and “Old Possum’s…”
