un-bear-able

Today's class centered on animal poetry--we covered T. S. Eliot's cats, Don Marquis whimsical cockrach, Mary Oliver's nature-triggered musings and played around with Ogden Nash's menagerie. We then spent time creating our own. Here's a draft of my morning musing.

growly & grumpy

   i greet the dawn

by mere hours of slumber sustained

     craving the safey & serenity

of a solitary slumberous cavern

months of silent solitude feels mandatory

     not to mention the joy

of the pre-loading months of food

    bliss of unconsciousnss

                 stressless slumber
