Alexander

A poem.

Alexander the Persian. (Photo by Kris Hill)

My Persian is in the window.

Curled up, cozy and comfy.

Golden.

All fluff and grump.

With sawdust colored fur, and

eyes the color of acorns.

The breeze pushes inside

to dance with his whiskers.

His big eyes, side-eyed,

catch sight of blowing leaves.

His petite, pink nose

searching scents through the screen.

Biscotti, Butterscotch, Blaze.

He could've had many names.

A modest moniker, Alexander

suits him fine.

He's the purring prince of the house

with his pitter-pattering paws

swatting dust in the sun.

His tail on auto: flip-flop, flip-flop.

A puffy Buddha cat,

glowing in sunlight.

King of Couldn't Care Less...

today I'll take his lead.
