National Poetry Month

Poem for the day.

                                       PURRING PERFECT DREAMS

The Cheshire Cat stretches dainty claw-tipped paws,

Reclines, luxuriates on the velvet couch of sky.

A Mona Lisa smile twitches her lips.

She knows

She knows

Knows all

Secrets of the darkness

Flicker in her Chinese cat-glow eyes.

S-h-h-h

She dreams.

Her body gradually melts into moonlight.

Only her     S                         E      remains.

M              L

I
