each snow day begins
like every other day
like every other morning
spring, summer, winter, or fall
with snuggles
but snow days continue
like few other days
like few other mornings
snowy, sunny, rainy, or cloudy
with snuggles
couch
chair
bed
no matter at all
they find a way
to dig in, knead away,
snuggle
purrs vibrate
sighs are soft
every now and then
movement
stretch
position change
but mostly it's
quiet
sweet
sleepy
together

This post surprised me. I thought you were going to be talking about your significant other or about small children. And then--cats! Lovely sensory images! I can almost hear your fur babies purring!
ReplyDeleteLove the idea of snuggles on a snow day and the way you brought those snuggles throughout your piece.
ReplyDeleteThe structure of this poem highlights the specialness of these days. Anyone with a cat (or cats) completely understand the kneading, purring, and stretching details. What a perfect sounding day!
