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

A nice thought in this lune poem, especially the cat on the lap

Well done. Mary

Hello Brooke, not really familiar with the Lune style of poetry but I see the play on words here.

Great job!

sounds like the perfect recipe for a cozy slow sunday morning. Minus that cat for me though - I have allergies! Thanks for sharing!

Hi :)

Great piece, well written.

Love the pic, I'm a cat person. We have seven rescues that rule the house.

My extra words are there to please the system, I hate having to meet some dictated line or word-count.

Forgive me if I don't go into detail about the structure and format of your work.

It's not for me to say.

I don't presume to judge a poets style, the words and work are from the heart and should be left alone.

If I didn't like what you wrote, I wouldn't respond to it.

That's good enough for me and other writers will share the same comments.

Good job,

Ted

My daughter's cats are rescues too, a tradition she carried on from her mom. When she was little we "liberated" two cats from a crazy cat lady on my son's paper route - she had dozens of cats in her house and yard and was more than happy to share them. And then we took in a feral cat who lived in the woods behind our apartment. She learned then that rescues are the only way to go :-) Thanks so much, Ted, for your encouraging review. Brooke

I don't dislike dogs, but I was raised with cats. The seven we have now are so different from each other, and fascinating to study.

One we call 'Momma' is the oldest of the lot and she acts like a mother to all of them.

I think the felines know something about people. It takes about two minutes for me to earn their trust, and we're buddies from then on.

I'm glad to see a reply from you - last night I clicked on your name to see if I could review you, and I got a mute message. I worried that you'd gotten yourself in trouble with Tom :-)

I did get spanked for not expanding poem reviews. I was restricted with a warning.

It's all fixed now, I've been allowed back into the sandbox to play.

I was not a happy camper, but I bit the bullet.

My new chapter is posted, but I've cut way back on high payouts, so the piece won't run long.

reply by the author on 11-Mar-2014

I'm glad you bit the bullet. I have a couple of friends who, a few years ago, left the site because they refused to say sorry about their issues. The site lost great writers because of it.

reply by Ted T on 11-Mar-2014

Thanks for the reply.

It was a gray area. Not one person complained about the reviews I wrote. Some committee, or such, decided my comments were too similar.

Sounds like a left over Valentines card. Our kitty was just on my lap a minute ago, now all I need is the eggs and bacon. I'm not sure I get the connection but I suppose comfort foods and cats somehow go together. Good job keeping it simple. lil bro

Hey, little brother, great to hear from you :-) the connection is supposed to be that bacon and eggs are a great pairing and laps and cats make a great pairing, so then the speaker proposes a great pairing with the person being addressed. Brooke

Oh.

The poem is sweet and a great contest entry! The first two lines of this poem flowed and connected well. The third
line puts the poem all together. The artwork is great and enhances this read of this poem.

This poem creates such a desirable image in my mind. Makes me think of a Sunday morning when I'd have time to cook eggs and bacon (yum!) and have a warm, lazy cat keeping my lap warm as I enjoy my husband's company on a slow start to the day. Congratulations on your awards. Well done.

I do not remember your creating a Lune before. I like it as a lighthearted, love poem. I enjoyed the unlikely juxtaposition and the rhyme. By the way, that is one big, family cat! Hugs and happy Sunday- Joan

Thanks, Joan. I did won for the last contest, and since they only come around once every six months, I couldn't even begin to tell you what it was about. LOL Brooke :-)

I understand you're not remembering the subject--we write so many poems! Nevertheless, congratulations on the win. Here's to more Lunes! -Joan

Cut cat Potato. Egg and bacon, cats and lap ( things that go together) and then 'you and me - perhaps?' Don't quite get the last line and the question. A very good selfie. Well done. Emeka

Emeka, it was a playful invitation to love - we would go together as well as bacon and eggs or cats and laps :-) Thanks so much. Brooke

I enjoyed reading your cute little poem. Potatoe looks about the size of my two orange tabbies. I can't believe there's not some type of rules for punctuation. Lol.

Thanks so much, Barbara. Yeah, it throws you when there are not an abundance of rules, doesn't it? LOL Are you reviewing from the hospital? Hope all is well. Brooke
