Spud looks most comfortable - like he needs a diet or it's old age around the tummy. Punctuation is slowly being eliminated and that is sad because it helps the reader get the gist of the writing - and the worst offence (I feel) is beginning a line or sentence with a small 'i' - I don't know why it is done (we don't do it in Oz) I liked your Lune and wish you well in the contest my friend.

    Kay, thank you so much :-) He is definitely comfy - I should tell Miranda to start calling Potato Spud. LOL What a great nickname. Brooke :-)

I love how you take everyday items and concepts and put them together in a poem. This is clever and a joy to read Brooke. Our cat Leland loves to do just what Potato is doing. Great lune.

Blessings
Janet

Nice lune, Brooke. It's a bit different from what you normally write but cats are nice and laps need warming! Best wishes, Pete :)

Good Evening, Brooke

I think you're safe from the Lune gods this evening. Your poem is in fine form and provides a fun read. I liked the comparisons of bacon and eggs, cat and lap and then you and me. I might have exchanged the cat for 'wine and cheese'. lol

I liked the duo of the eggs and bacon. I'm no cat person, but a beagle on the lap, I can go for. Great lune and great flow. Nicely done.

Dear Brooke: loved this one and again..no sixes left in the bucket but certainly deserved. Lots of emotional power in that photo and your words to express. Excellent! Vance

What an adorable lune with a bonus rhyme and a cute little message about how two people just go together like cats and laps. I also like how you formed this poem into a question. Very clever.

I don't know about these Lune's (loons, maybe?). Someone had bacon and eggs, but who? I like the rhyming descriptive part as well. Good luck Brooke. Kenny

I got it--bacon and eggs equal comfort.

fried eggs and bacon
cats and laps --
you and me, perhaps?

Seems that the family cat is trying to usurp Sawyer's position.LOL
Perfect 5-3-5 syllable count for the Lune prompt
love your thoughts on this subject. I don't love cats the way most people do. Good luck in the contest

    emrpoems, not to worry, this took place during Sawyer's nap time :-) Thanks so much. Brooke

    Glad to hear that. Sawyer is now an established Fanstorian so it will not be easy to replace him LOL

You really are a genius in poetry, and even in short verses like this lune, you excel too. Anything you dip your hands on Brooke, will light up any page. God bless.
