An extra day to
blow, so why not stay up late?
Leap year reflections.

Wind whipping my coat
away from me, chilling through.
Icy blast from north.

Cat with feather toy,
eyes dilated, teeth, tail flicks.
Ready for the kill.

Wee scurrying rat,
trapped betwixt cat’s teeth, squealing.
Then running free more.

The cat is kneading
the blanket next me, purring.
Content, happy cat.

Cat with paw outstretched
sitting on Bill’s lap, sleeping.
Looks like a leopard.

Pacing cat hears a
noise in the wall, what is it?
He’s in hunting mode.

Disgruntled cat wants
to return to his soft perch.
Mom shouldn’t clean it.

Cat hiding behind
green Christmas cactus branches.
I see your green eyes.

Five point buck on hill
staring down at me, chewing.
Watching, waiting, there.

Packing boxes of
books, dusting shelves, slow progress.
Moving is hard work.

For my Valentine.
He knows who he is, my love,
true love, my mate, him.

It’s raining again,
clouds sucking the light from me.
Soul slowly withers.

Late afternoon light
peaks shyly through the grey clouds.
But still the birds sing.

Distant birds’ songs drift
through my open window and
lift my winter mood.

Beautiful bird songs
joyful in the bright sunlight.
Birds seeking spring mates.

Sitting in the dark
even though it’s daytime, light.
Dark, dank basement suite.

Awakening to
warmth and kitty’s paw stretching.
Morning sleepy bliss.

Indignant cat hates
eye drops put into his eyes.
It’s for your own good.

Mt. Baker shines so
brightly in the morning sun.
Seems closer than far.

Cat on back of couch,
paws catch heater warmth rising.
Cats are heat magnets.

Brazen cat rolling
on the road, in front of car.
It’s cat’s turf, not mine.

Sun shining on white
caps off Clover Point, restless.
Birds playing in wind.
