Pumpkin and Me

Ah, Tina - this is beautiful!

'...those eyes
the bluest of things green'

Can't even tell you how much I love that line!

Pumpkin sounds just wonderful - really, really enjoyed this :)

Hi Tina,

like Rachel, I just wanted to go Aaaahhhhhhh! at
least I think that's how you spell it.

What an amazing, lovely piece of writing.

I adore cats and this gave me such a smile, with
memories of the cats that I've had in the past.

Hope you have a wonderful Christmas Tina and a very
Happy New Year.

Jenny.

Thanks, Rachel...Pumpkin is wonderful. I shall tell him you said so;-)

Tina xx

Hi there, Jenny...

I think your 'Aaaahhhhhh' is spelt letter perfect;-)

So pleased you liked this one. I have had dogs and cats, but I have to say I am decidedly one of those 'cat people'.

Many thanks for your lovely comment and I wish you in return, a magical Christmas and a peaceful and fulfilling New Year.

Tina

Really atmospheric. Nearly went to push the cat (gently) off my knee to lean over and type this. Reminds me of 'Blue' - who wasn't blue. BTW I think the typo I mentioned on the previous poem was in my head - apologies.

Your lovely comment made me smile, PT;-) So pleased you enjoyed, and many thanks for taking the trouble.

And please don't apologise. It wasn't in your head, it really did need that comma, and I understood exactly what you meant.

Hope you have a great Christmas...and by the way, your cat sounds quite a character.

Tina;-)

I too liked this poem, particularly the alliteration in the first two lines. I also liked your description of the cat using his head to nudge your hand to stroke him. However, for me the line I like best is "He melts into my lap..." The last three lines too are very evocative of a white Christmas.
Lovely poem, Tina. While I'm at it have a lovely Christmas.

Penandpaperdreams cites the take home lines. A super effort. Thanks.

I was going to pick out the same lines as Rachel and Scratch- they went right home. Unfortunately I get all sneezy around cats and anyway I think they shouldn't live in flats. Sounds like you are very comfortable together with Pumpkin- beautiful poem Tina.

Have a wonderful Christmas- you and Hubby and Pumpkin..
and thanks for letting me into your poetic world all year- has been a a true pleasure- am looking forward to lots more next year.

;)Pia

Oh he was Tina. Mischievous and very much his own cat. Picked up a lot from his environment.

Have a lovely Christmas and look forward to more from you next year.

PT

Thank you so much, Moya, pleased you enjoyed.

Have a peaceful Christmas and all the best for the new year;-)

Tina

Much appreciated, scratch;-)

Tina

Strange you should say that about getting sneezy. My daughter is just the same, although she had no choice but to take in a stray a few years ago now. She gets round the problem by bathing it each week, or should I say, dunking it in the sink. Apparently the allergy is something to with 'dander' on their fur. Don't worry about her cat though, he's used to it by now;-)

Thank you, so very much for your words, and for your Christmas wishes, and I return the same to you and yours.

Tina;-)

I think I would like Pumpkin! K

And I think you would too,Kahdai;-) And the feeling would be bound to be mutual.

Tina
