I missed this one the first time around. Your descriptions of Proust are wonderful. Beautiful tribute. I could see this piece illustrated, like a graphic poem.

Awww.

As you may remember, I’m a cat person, so don’t think I’m belittling the power in this poem with the non-specificity of “Awww”–because poems about pets are all about capturing that amazing relationship. And you totally got it.

we give where we can, how we can, when we can, and i can see how this would provide sweet comfort in a time of loss

not perfect poetry but a good read…
“You wear your purr like another would a cane with a jeweled top.” is a good image, and not the only one…

Don’t we write to connect? I think we do. And you touched someone when they needed it. Well done.

“quizzical Jack Benny look” brought me a smile too, and I didn’t even know the cat!

Very nice — his personality really comes through. Cats so personify Whitman’s “Do I contradict myself? Very well then I contradict myself” :-)

Yeah, you just might have something here!

Love the line ‘A dapper little man in a fur coat.’
