Lazy Sleeper

Are you the lazy sleeper
That lounges on my windowsill
Eyelids closed upon the dawn
Stirring only when the wind
Carouses you
A menace to my flowerbed
You terrorize the birds
You've made enemies
With the squirrels
The world is a bowl of yarn
And your the cat's meow
Lazy sleeper

Great lines throughout this poem! I like "the world is a bowl of yarn" especially. I can picture the poem's speaker bending down to have this "conversation" with the lazy sleeper. This one brings a smile to my face this evening:)

I mentioned this earlier, didn't I? Well, I shall write it again, perhaps, your consistency in delivering such great imagery blows me away!!! Keep writing!!! After all, you are The Write Girl.

Cats..I love them! Choice words for these guys! We don't have squirrels -do they really give them a bad time? We have mongoose.. but they don't cross each others path? I'm done with one flower bed and I know exactly what you mean..I don't want them in there!
