Hour 20 text prompt

Write a poem about a routine or ritual that is part of your life. It can be something like making coffee every morning, or something like attending religious services once a week.

Pet the cat at bedtime

No matter when it be

Lay flat upon the mattress

With upward faced belly

Call your family on the phone

And feel your stress climb

And the he will start purring

Affectionate and divine

Give him lots of love now

Scritchies and the snuggles

Ear crunches gently smoosh his brain

And let you give him huggles

And when you’re done drift off

To a deep deep sleep

As he purrs you into bliss now

Your dreams are his to keep

  1. The love of a pet. So simple but so amazing and powerful. They offer us all their heart and care. Offering them our dreams is an appropriate response. Love the humble simplicity of something so life giving as a cat purring on one’s belly. Beautiful image.
