When

This is for the Vocal "Sensational" poetry challenge

The prompt is:

Write a poem inspired by the five senses.

The idea for this came to me on my walk this morning. It is free form although it has a structure, but I always feel a little lazy when I write things like this.

The music is "I'll Take Care Of You" by Gil Scott-Heron

Me taking care of Tom the cat with white socks at Mariann's suggestion.

I hope you enjoy it and take something from it.
