Nature Cares Not
For all the kittens in my life I couldn’t save:
I held in my hand
a delicate little life
her bright eyes
looked to me with trust.
Nature cares not how
my heart wanted to love
a tiny soul,
to live up to her joy
when I touched her with
a gentle stroke.
Survival, genetics,
that’s nature’s way.
Bodies pass, genes pass
I wonder…
what did I do to merit
such devotion?

My son is a professor and a serious poet. He has several chapbooks and poems published. Through his efforts, I’ve become painfully aware of how hard it is to sell a book of poetry. It’s hard enough to to get people to read my book, but it’s exponentially harder to sell a book of poetry.
One day, when I’m rich and famous (hahahahahaha…sure…you betcha), maybe I’ll consider it. 🙂

I love writing poetry as long as it’s fun. NaPoWriMo is as close to a “contest” as I want to get. Anything more than that feeds my insomnia-driven anxiety. 🙂

I hear ya, I am not one to flaunt myself before the judges. I do things because I want to do them and not because I think that I have to.

I thought one of your blogs was about playing the violin. I went back to look for it and can’t find it. Can you give me the link?

There’s nothing like being forced to play and instrument that makes you want to avoid it forever. I’ve known more than a few people who had similar experiences as your mother.

I have no idea what happened. I know I subscrbed, but when I went onto our post it said “follow” instead of “following.” That has been remedied. 🙂

Come for coffee, tea, and we’ll sit in the garden with our dark sunglasses on. I have light sensitivity too. Graves’ disease blessed me with it.

It’s sad to lose a kitten. Love doesn’t care about flaws.
