Hi Brooke,
A clever poem full of wise words.
I find letting my imagination rip on FanStory kills any brooding!
The lovely puss looks like my old cat Monty, who adopted me.

Yes, I agree 100%. The cat in the picture looks like our kitty only, ours is golden and not gray scale. The dull color adds effect for the mood of the poem. This was not your usual stuff. Makes me think you had something more on your mind and held back a little. Mike

Comment from Tortie Heart
Concise and punchy. Excellent! And so true, the best thoughts are when they're uplifting and wonderful banishing all anxious fretting aside. And the cat picture, cats always look like they're pondering something. Lovely work!

Comment from RodG
This poem certainly makes it clear how different kinds of "thoughts" affect our outlook on life.
Excellent choice of adjectives/rhymes in "ponderous" and "wondrous."
"weighted down" perfectly describes brooding.

'Thoughts.' "Thoughts can be so ponderous when weighted down with brooding - Better when they're wonderous, our nagging frets excluding. A lovely poem about thoughts. Well done, Brooke.

Comment from alexgeorge
This is a fresh approach for you, Brooke. Nice kitty, and I love the ones featuring Sawyer as well, as you well know.
Their eyes can be so expressive. I have a white one that sits on the window sill and stares at us. I swear that cat was human in a previous lifetime!

Comment from Sarah Butterfly
Nice poem to read Brooke with a lovely picture attached. Indeed thoughts can weigh upon us when brooding. It is not easy to ban brooding from our mind, but our thoughts are so much beautiful without.
Kind regards
Sarah

Thoughts can be
so ponderous
when weighted
down with brooding --
Better when
they're wonderous,
our nagging frets excluding.
a catchy rhyming Whitney which suits the lovely
picture perfectly, Brooke.
Have a lovely Sunday - sun is shining here - wish I could bottle it and bring it out when it starts to rain - again!!

I am a master of wrapping up and hunkering down. LOL When it comes to cold, I don't have a bold bone in my body :-)
