Thoroughly Poetic and Thankful Thursday
Our prompt letter for today’s poem is “O.” After much thought, I was not coming up with a theme. Then our poetry host, Two Spoiled Cats Angel Sammy’s mom, Pam, suggested we each write about our newest (orange cat) family members, Cooper Murphy and Teddy. Sounded good to me.
Orange Cat Cooper Murphy
Orange is the color of our tabby’s fur.
His sweet disposition makes him purr.
But he’s also quirky and silly,
Rolls around on his back willy-nilly.
He has a passion for the red laser dot,
Chases it around from spot to spot.
He‘s a member of the clean plate club
And is becoming quite a “little” chub.
My previous orange tabby was a mama’s boy.
For Cooper it’s birdies and squirrels he enjoys.
He spends his days on the catio on guard,
Where he can see the feeders and backyard.
After dinner he curls up and sleeps all night,
Until his tummy clock goes off at first light.
This orange kitty has made our family complete.
Thanks, Fiona, for bringing us this cat so sweet.

This is also Thank Thursday. Today I am most thankful for the suggestion of good friend Pam to write about our newest family member. I do feel a smidge badly that Cooper Murphy is being featured two days in a row, and I am certain I will hear some complaints from the other Kitties Blue.

As always, your poetry skills are phenomenal. We are so happy for both you and Cooper Murphy, that you have each other. Angel Fiona indeed knew what she was doing with this little twist of fate.
GREAT JOB! I think that the other Kitties Blue won’t mind you doing a poem about their newest brother Cooper…..after all, they’ve had turns at being the star for MANY Sunday Selfies so a poem about him should be “easy to swallow” !! Our ginger boys are making their mark in our families for sure – Teddy and Cooper came into our lives at JUST THE RIGHT TIME…..I know Fiona and Sammy are smiling.
Love and Hugs, Pam
We need to do our TT Post and told Brian it will be up tomorrow.
I wanted to tell you that our Sunday Selfie visits are complete Miss Janet!
What a nice poem about Cooper Murphy!
