What a wonderful photo, amazing eyes, coat.
under the lamplight
her sleek ginger fur glistens
ice blue eyes gaze

Thanks eiken! I was beginning to think that no one was going to write a poem for my kitty. She looks nothing like this in real life. I just love tinkering with photos. I enjoyed this haiku, as I do all your work.  Brigid |

I sojourn here within the violets,
my eyes reflect their hue,
beneath the old fig tree
like paint,
the sunlight splatters through,
as it dances on the leaves,
keeping time with the wind
as it blew.
I'll lie here in soft petals
waiting only, just for you
reflecting my piece of the world
within my eyes of blue.

I really love this kitty poem. Only a cat can capture a halcyon morning, and serve it up to you in her paws, and little kitty ways. This is a lovely poem.
She is a lovely kitty!

Lying on a bed of lilacs,
drowned in the scent
of sweet lavender,
I doze under a honeyed sun
watching you, lovingly.
My golden coat shimmers
under bright sunshine,
on a cotton light day.
A sapphire sky mirrors
the colour of my eyes.

swirling everywhere
piercing blue eyes

In my dream you wear different hues,
not black with pumpkin poppers
but fur ablaze with eyes of blue
No matter, you smile up at me
Still asleep, I smile down at you
