i explore them
as they pass me by
i see them
as they really are
empty
alone
their eyes
pierce the pavement
as they weave
in and out
empty
alone

One of the best partners in writing? A cat! — Primadonna Angela
All great poetry is dipped in the dyes of the heart. — Edith Sitwell

Write me a poem. Write me several poems. A muse me. — N’Zuri Za Austin
If you look a dog in the eye too intensely, it may recite an astounding poem to you. — Jean Genet
A dog, I have always said, is prose; a cat is a poem. — Jean Burden
