Fish Out of Water

Musings and observations about life from an East Coast native now living on the Left Coast in the California State Capitol since 2004. This fish has made her home in Madison, WI (7 years); Portland, OR (2 years); Las Vegas, NV (7 months); Middlebury, VT (3 summers); Marne-la-Vallee, a small town east of Paris, France (6 months); Middletown, CT (3 years); and Marshfield, MA, the fish's coastal hometown 40 miles south of Boston (17 years).

Multiple Muffin Musings

Saucer Cat
Cozy and snug
Striped with sun through slatted lines
Plush velour cushions the weight
Head curved into the rounded pillow
Paws folded under over the chin
Tail tucked, circular crest
Slumber achieved in warmth and light
Crushed fibers and fur mingled in ultimate drowsy bliss

Anger Cat
Wide eyes glare
Piercing yowl lingers
The air cut by bursts of sound
Paws pace at the hall's end
Strident calls summon towards the bowl
Where's the food? It's late! It's late!
Feed me now. Now now now now now.
Mad circles around the feet scamper back and forth
Peace attained only after the trickle of kibble clinks into the china at rest

Toasty Cat
Sun-warmed and logy in the plush saucer oval
Feline brain drowses in golden meadow dreams
Sun streams, glowing rays
Bits of dust suspended in the amber beams that warm the rounded head and plump curve
Ebony back shines like deep mahogany
Ivory paws and chest reflect the brightness in softened tufts
Pure feline bliss

Muffalo the wild buffalo cat,
Panda cat for the black, white and gentle ways;
Truly an exceptional scientist in any form!

E!
