It makes sense, that April -- with its extremely changeable weather-- is national poetry month. Poems often reference seasons, months or weather. They can be filled with a roller coaster of emotion or dwell on one solitary mood. Poems speak about love, or highlight special occasions or friends. They can have rhyming patterns or not; they can be quite long or very short.
Cats Sleep Anywhere
Cats sleep anywhere, any table, any chair.
Top of piano, window-ledge, in the middle, on the edge.
Open drawer, empty shoe, anybody's lap will do.
Fitted in a cardboard box, in the cupboard with your frocks.
Anywhere! They don't care! Cats sleep anywhere.
Eleanor Farjeon (1881 - 1965)
We have many wonderful cats at the League waiting for loving, forever homes. They would happily trade in their condos in the cat room for a table, chair, piano top, window-ledge, drawer, box or cozy lap (or two).
