I'm In (Look what I Found)
response to M.C's "Oh, Cathy..."
I had a moment, just for me,
So, I took a little look to see
What’s new among the Vocal friends today.
When there before my bemused eyes,
From Mother C, a nice surprise,
A wee poetic game for me to play.
As she and Kelli edged me on
To join them in their lyrical jam,
I pondered, then agreed to grant their wish.
But as I sat here in this place,
My mind, a useless, empty space,
I realized this challenge is a bitch.
I couldn’t seem to find the words
To match those two poetic nerds,
I thought, perhaps, I’d wake up Abigail.
I requested that she write a poem.
She told me, bluntly, where to go,
Then hissed and swatted at me with her tail.
So, I guess, my friends, it’s up to me.
It’s what it is, and all it will be,
This mumble jumble maze of vomit prose.
I’m happy to have taken part,
I’m not quite sure I’d call it art,
But you better, or I’ll sic Abigail on you both!

Note from the Author: I want to let you know that this is an unusual story, and it has been written purely from whatever is in my unconscious mind, because before I start writing, I get into a flow state that reaches my unconsciousness. I also write in my subconscious mind, which is like a mid-flow state between the conscious and unconscious mind.

I just love this, Cathy! Congratulations on your top story! Abigail sounds a lot like my Raven. Gotta love the cats, though, they truly are the best.
This is an very good idea to do at free time I love it.

Sorry I am late to this party. I was ordering cat nip on amazon
This is such fun, Cathy! And Abigail probably just needs a little me time before she’s ready to join in!
Ha! So glad you found it. Now, let the trio of fun begin!!! Ooops! I meant quad... Don't tell Abi I almost forgot her.
Cute stuff Cathy!🌸
Well-wrought! If three dudes from Brooklyn are the Beastie Boys, does that make you three the Feline Femmes maybe? I was looking for alliteration there...
