Nice one Tom.
My pussycat poem-
'Little Panther and I'
is of a similar theme.

Lovely animals!

I love this poem because it's very lyrical! I like the short lines because it makes me read it slower and focus on the words.

Thanks Yvonee.
the short lines were part of an attempt at reduction, perahaps a not so succesful aping of the imagist principles of clarity. Ive been reading about the influence of Basho on William Carlos William- that's what is probably responsible.

I like 'leaving through a hole in the evening' and the theme of this poem but don't understand the reasoning behind so many short lines.
