I chose these two poems because “Cats In The Kitchen” reminds me of my cats, which do connect to the poem, and “The Beach” gives me summer vibes and reminds me of going to the Bahamas which I miss a lot.
The Beach
The warmth of the sun,
The soft white sand.
The salt in your hair,
Sun kissed and tanned.
The ripples of water,
As waves crash to the shore.
Then pull away again,
For another encore.
The rhythm of the ocean,
The musical notes.
Of sand and water,
Shells and sailboats.
Aqua blue colours,
The smell of sea air.
The calming of the beach
Helps the soul to repair.
Cats in the kitchen asleep in the sink.
Cats in the litterbox making a stink.
Cats in the living room clawing the couch.
Cats in the closet at play in a pouch.
Cats in the bedroom destroying the bedding.
Cats on the table tops rolling and shedding.
Cats in the bathroom inspecting the tub.
Out in the flowerbed under a shrub.
Up on the windowsill grooming their fur.
Stretching and yawning, preparing to purr.
Waiting for someone to open a door.
Climbing a curtain. Exploring a drawer.
Maybe I’m crazy. You may say I’m bats.
Still, you can never have too many cats.
