Here I go
in winter’s snow
dancing to and fro
telling my prints where to go
I dig a hole
to what’s below
beyond the snow
it excites me so
But then I go
because here it’s cold
outside the window
I’m not that bold
The tracks of my toes
will forever show
I played with gusto
then quit the show
in winter’s snow
My yard is full of tracks that fit this delightful poem! Happy New Year, Mary – I hope you’re off to a great year full of adventures in retirement.
I suppose little Copper enjoys frolicking in the snow…or does he do what’s necessary and that’s it?
The year is starting well and I plan to make it stay that way. Happy Monday, Shelley!
Copper has an outside gauge built in that prohibits him from wandering too long and too deep into snow, especially when it is below 32 degrees. But the wild animals, like rabbits and deer and fox wander all over the place.
I’m glad to hear your year is starting out well. Happy January to you!!
That’s a fun poem. Are those Gibbs’ toes? Bold but not crazy.
Maddie has covered the back yard with paw prints, mostly following the bunny’s prints. Just enough snow to leave tracks.
Yes, they are Gibbs’ paws in the snow. Not sure what the digging was about other than him acting more like a dog than his crazy cat self. Maddie would have fun with him if they were both willing participants.
Have a great Monday and week, Dan!
Love the poem and the photo! I kind of miss the little paw prints that would adorn my car after a snow (back when I lived in an apartment without a garage)…
Thank you! Gibbs likes the snow for only a few minutes…long enough to leave his mark!
Bravo 🙂
Thanks Joanne!
Happy New Year, Mary….nice poem
Thanks! Happy New Year!
Lovely poem told through the cat’s voice. Your interpretation of his/ her thoughts based on the prints is great and I really like how the cat seems to reflect on the marks left behind and what they tell. A lot packed into a few words.
Thank you so much for your positive feedback. I enjoy imagining what’s going through my cat’s head and expressing it here.
Thank you for the follow!
