When I refused to get up,
Knox rallied the cats on his behalf.
After listening to their plaintive cries,
I crawled out of bed with a sigh.
They guided me to the kitchen
where all three
felt the need to supervise
their breakfast preparation.

Out of the corner
of my eye, I saw day break
and flood the sky with gold light,
but Knox was more interested
in what he found on the ground.

There was seed aplenty,
but so busy was that bird
chasing other birds away,
he had little time to dine.

On A Good Day
Counting to ten might
work for some, but for me it’s
more like one thousand.

I wonder what those
three geese are honking about
as they make their way
across the sky this breezeless
February morning?

Multipurpose
Branches wave hello
to the rising sun, goodbye
to descending moon.

Morning Nudge
A paw reached over
and tapped my leg,
reminding me
a walk would be
good for both of us.
Who knows what
we might find out there?

A Slow Departure
A star, reluctant
to say goodbye, still lingers
in the morning sky.
