I enjoyed this poem with it’s revelry on New Year. A NEW YEAR, and I hope it is a ‘New Year’, not a recycled, down trodden, smack some lipstick on it old year...I connected with your poem’s optimism as I believe in the goodness within us...

Autobiography of a water droplet, a brilliant take on the water cycle and a well written poem. I enjoyed the journey and philosophical thoughts from the droplet.

Those six cats are very lucky to have such a caring owner and for your kindness in making sure each one has a special treat, and doesn't lose out on it because they're slow to eat.
