under the wrapping
something I want
no matter what
1-1-14 RD

a gift sublime
intended for others...
now the property of cats
1-1-14 SM2

doorstop?
you mean cat toy
rolling all night
1-2-14 RD

day is for sleeping
night is for watching
not complicated here
1-3-14 SM2

sleeping husband
cats on every side
purring peaceful
1-3-14 RD

furry guardians
ever watchful
can opener?...shift change  
1-3-14 SM2

she did feed us
but now you are awake
and it's your turn
1-5-14 RD

multi course meal
candelabra not required
but no singing, no tip
1-5-14 SM2

too cold
but cats want the window open
so we can smell the snow
1-6-14 RD

frozen whiskers and toes
appreciation of the seasons diversity
... camomile tea...awaiting consumption
1-6-14 SM2

snowy whiskers
time to get under a blanket
and sleep the rest of the day
1-7-14 RD

snug and warm
in between dreams
...ready to pounce, if the need arrives  
1-7-14 SM2

maybe if you turn the sink on
I will stop long enough
to put my collar back on
1-8-14 RD

deftly confidant
an escape untried
is not how we purr
1-8-14 SM2

and yet in the morning
collar again
in the hallway
1-9-14 RD

an alternate color perhaps?
covered in gemstones
matching my eyes...yes, that would work
1-9-14 SM2

away with ratty old collar
I need something
to match my magnificence
1-11-14 RD

tribute accepted form other realms
lavish gifts...endless procession
the burden of greatness
1-11-14 SM2

at last some appreciation
a new paper bag
to sleep in
1-12-14 RD

a mobile venue
allowing others
to bask within my epicness
1-12-14 SM2

turn the office chair
just so
the light catches my eyes
1-13-14 RD

warming rays
warmth absorbed
the advantage of fur
1-13-14 SM2

cat comes in
from the window
sun-warmed on one side
1-14-14 RD

simple request
thermal balance required
nap time on the sofa
1-14-14 SM2

stack up some more
I need all the pillows
for my beauty rest
1-15-14 RD

ostrich feather fan
sintar serenade...
yes, that's acceptable
1-16-14 SM2

Yesterday no touching the cat-
today everyone
must hug me at once
1-16-14 RD

good will in abundance
my every whim obeyed
...just as it should be
1-16-14 SM2

looks like my takeout
I zip up my coat
as they call someone else
1-17-14 RD

curious dancing
bare feet finding
half of a mouse
1-17-14 SM2

the best parts
of the mousie
I have saved for you
1-18-14 RD

willing and able
other tokens await
...the procession begins
1-18-14 SM2

You want to catch me?!
just for my collar...
I hunker down and don't run
1-20-14 RD

understanding we have...yes
motives clouded...worrisome
no bath...no worries
1-20-14 SM2

sulking under couches
forgiveness only
for chicken toothpaste
1-21-14 RD

sensible notions...
no longer at impasse
bathing tolerated... but you owe me
1-21-14 SM2

new collar, organic cat food,
and why do you have to leave
to go to work?
1-22-14 RD

with little effort
i could accompany you
as your fuzzy assistant
1-22-14 SM2

I follow you
you chase me
stalk exchange
1-23-14 RD

concept accepted
workload greatly diminished
critter day successful
1-23-14 SM2

great responsibility
after hunting all night
cats deserve a rest all day
1-24-14 RD

tip toe room to room
honor and glory rightfully bestowed
twelve hour nap continues
1-24-14 SM2

water tastes better
in the middle of the room-
if people would stop stepping in it
1-25-14 RD

house staff refresher...
those with fur or hooves
always have priority  
1-25-14 SM2

gaining weight for winter
great for the horse
not so much for my jeans
1-26-14 RD

open field...horses
beautiful contrast against white
horsey laughter heard
1-26-14 SM2

galloping in the snow
steaming breath-
where's my breakfast?
1-26-14 RD

every oat savored
head nodding, joined by others
outdoor buffet
1-26-14 SM2

slurping a warm bran mash
while my fingers get numb
holding the bucket
1-27-14 RD

second course...maybe three
furry assistants take note
as horses use slight of hoof tactics
1-27-14 SM2

I stand on the blind side
but as he eats his grain
he still looks for trouble
1-27-14 RD

learning horsethink
subtle movements and twitch
yes...it's time to play
1-27-14 SM2

sorry, twitchy horse,
a hair of mine
fell on your shoulder
1-28-14 RD

only fair that we trade
personal Mementos
seeing how close we are
1-28-14 SM2

snowy golf course
black geese walk
group of ducks fly
1-30-14 RD

playing through
record time made
golf cart hot wire
1-30-14 SM2

casual walkers
ducks follow after
flying geese
1-31-14 RD

seeing opportunity
entrepreneurial squirrels
barter maps on leaves  
1-31-14 SM2

reading these again has been a lot of fun *grin* might have to set aside a few hours one weekend  and read all of them from the very beginning to where we now find ourselves...
