Cat Nips
By Annie Klier Newcomer
1.
Pastel sorceress
draws art & cat lovers
together
2.
Cat nip logic—-
all orange cats are tabbies,
but not all tabbies are orange.
3.
M not X
marks the spot
on every tabby's forehead.
4.
Pooling gentle eyes
this stripy cat has lived stories
I want to hear.
5.
Cat nip afternoons—-
our indoor tiger kitten
finds a way outside.
6.
Lazy summer days—-
my fur-ball feels safe,
with me.
7.
Snowflake
on our kitten's nose—-
both one of a kind.
8.
In her first life
was this orange tabby sitting
on Cleopatra's —- lap?
9.
Somewhere there exists
a feral cat who longs
to be drawn—- in.
