that is no such thing as ‘just’ a cat – ‘just’ a cat? definitely not.
she’s always regal, pretty, beautiful – of course, and she’ll stare, and stare.
what is she thinking? we will never really know, she’s just amazing!
could we pry? nope, definitely not.

A white and fawn cat is hiding behind a partially open curtain hanging on a window. Through the window we can see green trees. The cat is also watching the trees.
Dawn is up, and already little creatures are on the move Geckos and lizards are warming up, and skittering near to the rim Young squirrels hurry down the huge palm tree and up again
The sky is tinged with pink and turquoise, doves are courting merrily Male weaver birds are busy making many nests, looking hopeful Dawn is up, and already little creatures are on the move
Pond skaters glide across the water, striding with purpose A dragonfly flies fast, then hovers, seeking for a mate Geckos and lizards are warming up, and skittering near to the rim
Bright butterflies with glorious rainbow colours dance with glee And pretty flowers wave to the bees asking them to pollinate them Young squirrels hurry down the huge palm tree and up again

Dear Santa, How are you? Hope you are doing well I bet you have already done most of your work for this year although there are many problems around the world. By the way, how is Mrs. Christmas? She’s such a wonderful woman! Oh, the reindeers and all those helpers, also well – all good?
But now I have a little problem and a little plea… You see, the naughty spam has been such a pain lately. It’s all very well to just pop a ‘like’ but I really like to have a little conversation. I very much like to post back from anyone around the world especially on WordPress.
So, Dear Santa sorry about making a bit of a rant but I’m sure you will be able to help. You can have a little look to see what the problem is and after that we will all talk again and, of course, we will be ready to write our poems for Santa’s post!

Val‘s Scavenger Hunt – 7th prompt Write an Epistle Poem to Santa. The Epistle Poem is written as a letter. It can be a direct address, intimate or formal. The form is flexible – from free verse to rhyming couplets to a sonnet. The audience can be internal or external. The Epistle Poem is often used for moral, political or religious discourse.
P.S. This is all true, and if you haven’t seen me saying something on your post, that has been the problem on spam, I believe.
