The Cat

The cat

lounges

on my bed.

She's a cuddly

furry ball.

Her body

is warmly hot.

But she is NOT

that small.

She's asleep

in the middle

of my bed.

She really likes

that spot.

It's a  problem

when she won't move,

I can not sleep

in the space I've got.

Her purring keeps me

wide awake.

I think this kitten

may be a mistake.

At least it is not the same

as having a dog,

a Great Dane.

     Can you tell I don't really have a cat?  I'm visiting my sister in California.  It is her birthday.  She has a cat that wants to sleep on my bed. 
So, I think I really should comeback to this poem again and do some more work with the rhythm.  Do you have a dog or a cat?  Can you write a poem about your pet?
When my son was three he had a stuffed dog he would pretend to feed and have the dog sit up and beg.  He would take his stuffed dog for walks.  So even if you don't have a live pet, you can write about a pretend pet.  Have fun.  I'd love to hear about your pet.
