Playing with the
Pussy, pussy Pussy Willows
Pushing pulling at the soft tips
Knocking off their nails
Grabbing the branch and tipping the vase
Making for a perfect Pussy Willow race
Across the kitchen floor, under the rugs
Swept up in the fun of a catkins chase
Slipping, sliding bouncing off the walls
Finally tuckered out and surrounded
By Pussy Willow tails
The pussy, pussycat
Falls into his catnap garden
Chasing his dreams with
Pussy Willow sticks
When I took these pictures, I had to keep telling Sano, “don’t touch!” As soon as I put away the camera he knocked over the vase and started playing. The vase is on the floor because no one would stay away from it as it sat on the table. Safer on the floor! Poem for Jingles Thursday’s poet Rally:-)
