Crazy cat

Crazy cat

Love my cat
– he’s black
and quite MAD
so that’s that.

P.S. Sadly this dear boy was killed by a car in May 2020.

Playing along

summer means lawn bowls
a sport to enjoy, so good
for mind and body

Pecking order

dropped under tables
scraps and crumbs from rich plates
– feed sparrows and mice

a small anxiety

New Year approaches –
and waiting here I wonder
what will next year hold

Cat Rescue

‘Please get me out’, says little kitty
with tabby fur and face so pretty
‘I’m waiting for that special one
to fall in love and take me home.
Perhaps you will?’

‘Oh kitty dear, I wish I could
if I were able to I would.
But there is a lonely man I know
Who’d love to have a cat and so.
Perhaps he will.’

About Me

Born in England I spent the greater part of my life there before emigrating to New Zealand with my husband in 1999, taking early retirement from a career in nursing. Once we settled I was able to re-acquaint myself with painting and, more recently, try my hand at writing.

Unless otherwise stated all poetry, stories and paintings appearing on this website are the intellectual property of the artist. None may be reproduced, either whole or in part, without proper attribution.
