Fuming Feline

cat and collar

First of all,
it is no longer
the Victorian era.
Remove this starched
piece of cheap
collar immediately.
I am not posing
in this monstrosity.
There could be
a roomful of cats
waiting for portraits,
or worse, a roomful
of dogs. I wish
to keep my dignity.

About purplepeninportland

I am a freelance poet, born and bred in Brooklyn, New York. I live with my husband, John, and two charming rescue dogs–Marion Miller and Murphy. We spent eight lovely years in Portland, OR, but are now back in New York. My goal is to create and share poetry with others who write, or simply enjoy reading poetry. I hope to touch a nerve in you, and feel your sparks as well.

    Ha, yes. But a dog would look much sillier in the undignified ruff.
