Ode to My Best Friend
They say it’s in the DNA
but when I see you come my way
while I know I purr and you go ruff
we’ve got this thing of the right stuff
Go figure that we are a match
and if you itch I help you scratch
so if we’re off so be it pal
I’ll be with you even when you yowl
Cats and dogs are not a pair
but I will sniff you out anywhere
so let the scientists have their way
but we have our own kind of DNA
A little fact which you may find
kittens have more of the human kind
it doesn’t matter truly true
my DNA isn’t better than you
Interesting DNA Facts about Animals and People

Today is National DNA Day How about writing a poem about this topic? Now that may be a stretch, a swirl, a twist, a challenge, but where’s the fun if you don’t test yourselves. I have an idea cooking already.
I Saw This Cat
Going over hills
softly pressing forward
not to disturb
but to observe
Creeping ever so easily
was this cat
not the kind
who licks tuna
from a silver dish
Striped in majestic tones
a king of the jungle
opening his mouth
showing large shiny teeth
and yawning
Gasping to myself
swallowing my spit
softly padding to the bridge
I ease my way out
I am just six years old
and the jungle
is the back yard
of the military base
where I am safely tucked away
No matter what one might think
going gently into the unknown
is truly the wisest thing
when there are feral cats
prowling in the light of day
Today I am combining my prompt:Gentle Speaking and the one from:
Six Sentence Story
I was featured in this journal. Thank you Susi for this.
Silence
The morphine drip is shielded
Hidden from plain sight
Tucked away in her nest
Snuggled under fresh covers
No pain, no worries
Just solemn slumber
Taking a cue from her
I push my recliner close to her bed
I press my body close to her side
Taking her hand, I close my eyes
And enjoy peaceful slumber
This is the supreme closeness we need
Hers to know she’s not alone
Assurance as she grasps my hand snuggly
As much as I grasp hers
And rest we must
Her for relief of pain
Me for energy restoration
And we sleep
Brother
What can I tell?
When the owl roosts on the branch
Each night watching me as I fall to sleep
Often, I wondered
If the owl knew my thoughts
My worries
And I often thought he did
He came to visit each night
Witnessing my young teen life
