The cat seems so introspective and serious. It looks like it is contemplating a kiss to start a possible liaison.
This is a good poem about the first time a couple makes love.
Keep writing
Joan

A beautiful passage through time, a memory that landed with a kiss, a pass through the door a bliss. Thank you for sharing and Merry Christmas. Good luck with your future poems.

This beautifully presented verse seems to float on the page as it descends into a lovely and fitting ending. I enjoyed reading and the use of repetitive phrases really added emphasis and strength to this one. Well done victor.

Hello there Poet, what a heartfelt and soulful write! I loved the theme and formatting in this write. I see this as a poem about how lonely the fast paced and high tech life can be. In a boomtown, immediate gratification is a solace to distract from the lack of connection. Excellent use of word economy and sparse styling to paint this image.

Thank you for sharing your thoughts through your poem. My suggestion would be to make your message clearer. I am not sure that I understood what you were trying to say.

You really spanned the range of emotion in love in this poem, the pain, the sadness, the pleasure and the joy, the transformative process of it. I loved the sense of rhythm that gently rocks us through the mist in this one. estory

A very well-written free verse poem contemplating about the little things in life that can make a huge difference in our lives when we notice they are there and make use of them when we have the chance.

Not quite sure what this poem is about except to say that the cat feels safe behind the glass and in his comfort he can muse about the outside world as he is protected. The barriers in life are sometimes what we rely upon, Merry Christmas Victor, love Dolly x
