Gogyoshi Poem, Nr.14 — Evening Togetherness

A really lovely snapshot of a moment in time. Much enjoyed.

Thank you Eerie. Glad you liked the homely scene.

They're indeed a great company when we're with them but in another parallel universe Josh. Just don't ask them to do anything ☺️
Loved the moment you brought to us here.

Thank you CF. Occasionally I threaten the cat by saying we'll get a dog to put her in her place -- and she just looks at me -- then I drop the idea   :))

I trust that Jeeves was disapproving of your choice of hat.      :)

I guess the hat might have / should have been a deerstalker for Jeeves' approval   :))

Dear J,

I really enjoyed the peek into this charming snippet of a contented home life. And don’t worry! Jeeves turned me down flat at my attempt to lure him away and make tea for me. Dang it!
Sweet write. H🌷

Ah well, Jeeves the world over have their standards you know. One miaow or raised eyebrow and you know that's it.

There is something ethereal about this one, Josh. It contains an Eastern influence much like Basho's did, of a simple observation expressed simply, and yet, profoundly.

Thank you for the complement. I guess it was somehow as you describe it - an insightful perception  :))

Animals make the best friends...but Ill make my own coffee Josh. LOL

🙏 Harry

Thank you Harry. I'll remember that about coffee - it's all about boundary management.   :))  ☕

The cats never do anything I ask them to. You'd think I'd have a chance with 30 of them in the house, but ... no. Nice rug pull from under our feet.

Thank you JB. I've had cats most of my life, hoping something about having a superior air might rub off on me - it hasn't worked.

It's usually just hair that rubs off.

this gave me a bit of a chuckle this evening, it's lovely to see a little bit of home life in poetry recently and seeing what happens behind those different doors, i often think cats look at us like peasants, i can inagine them saying moi? make you tea? well where is my wet food peasant 😂

thank you for this warm snippet man :)

Thank you Ethan. Yeah well cats, I mean, I've always had cats and have thought of getting a dog for 40 years to balance the house dynamics but somehow I think it might all go pear-shaped.  :((    RL appreciated  🙏

Not sure why I'm picturing your cat with a bowtie.

Humorous and interesting Josh. It's a nice little peek into an evening in your house.

Thank you Wally -- { I like your new outfit by the way   :))  }

Woah super cool and light! Fantastic snapshot of a moment in words. I talk to cats too sometimes and they give me sniffs and rubs instead. Kudos for this muse.

Plz do read and comment my newest poem too.

Thank you for visiting & commenting, Zaynab. Cats are cool in their interactions with humans.
