... want to write, but the words
aren't there. They remain
hidden. Where could they be?
They remind me of a cat: aloof.
Stubborn: they won't come until
they want attention. Only then,
and not before. No use trying to
call them: that's why I like dogs.

aah...beautiful,but dear Karla dogs too need attention...don't they ??? Be it any one...all need attention...but your little words are a good flow and just WOW...loved it....neerja
Well sometimes our muses have a tendency to want to be stroked which for me might be reading more books or a trip to a library or maybe even a movie or too...but the beauty is no matter how long it may take the words will always return.

We refer to dogs as he and cats as shee, maybe if words aren't coming like capricious feminine aloof cats...you should resort to doggy words, you only need to wistle, you know how to do it? Lauren Bacal told Humphrey Bogart to "pout your lips and...blow"
You are so right, Karla, the words come when they are ready and no amount of coaxing will bring them to you any sooner. It is easier to get the attention of a cat, roasted chicken or tuna will usually flush them out...a little trick I learned from having men in my life...LOL!

Oh, look, it's Puke! Oh, I meant Puck!! LOL To those wondering, that's what we called Puck when in a silly mood. LOL Adorable write, and you know I love cats best! But this write will appeal to the dog lover, too. Very well penned; brava!

Loved this write my friend, and the picture is just too cute! I too love dogs...my newfound friend and puppy is doing very well, I've almost got him house trained, I keep thinking that I do and then I find a little gift somewhere in the house every couple of days. But, he is great company and a great foot warmer. Enjoyed the write!

Fractured Frazzled Folk Fables and Fairy Farces is adult literature that satirizes famous children's stories, fables and fairy tales. The work is Jay Dubya's twenty-first e-book available in Amazon Kindle and Barnes and Noble Nook.
The Wholly Book of Genesis is a humorous satire on the first book of the Old Testament where the Story of Creation, the building of Noah's Ark, Sodom and Gomorrah and the families of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob are thoroughly spoofed and broadsided.
you can't help but be a poet!;-)

love the perspective, words like cats stubborn and selfish, but I still prefer cats, it's that aloofness that so attracts.
