Kitty kitty cat cat
it's the nineth time i've called,
your dinner's on the mat mat
between the cold and warm.

Full moon hanging over Babylon gardens, Kitty.

You fussy fussy cat cat
come and drink your milk,
then take a litle nap nap
the moon is over hills.

Kitty then dreams about shoals of fish listening to each other
weaving patterns--she licks her lips

Oho, that was fun! Liked the line : Full moon hanging over Babylon gardens, Kitty.

Do you feel the last line might work better without "she licks her lips"?
:D

I've been singing this all w/end, Aru. People must think I'm mad or something. They maybe right.

I added "Kitty licks her lips" this morning but perhaps I should have left it out.

best

Madness. Complete madness.

Sometimes, I confess, I wonder whether you are a cynical student of post-modernism, just having a bit of ironic fun with us. I assume you're not.

Thanks David I agree it sounds a bit silly but it was fun for me..I'm human.

Sure I'm very honest you know that by now surely? Look at the work?

Sometimes we have to have a (little fun) in this brutal world we all live in
and sometimes the sadness in me is over bearing truly I couldn't write if
I were not feeling sad.......but that's me, I simply guess.

I do prefer my songs to speak as I regard myself as 'nothing' in particular.

I'll leave it to you anyway . Thanks so much for heartfelt light, David.

Story of my heart.

Hi Lovely,

You're always writing! so does that mean you're always feeling sad?
Poetry is a great way of releasing some of the tensions and pressures in life! Better to let your words and feelings flow than to keep them bottled up inside. I feel happier after writing a poem.
Your poem was not to my taste, I thought it was a child who'd wrote it, but it does help to be mad and insane once in a while! LOL :lol:

dulce est desipere in loco

That's my favourite Latin tag. Google that!
