When it comes to writing an etheree, you possess the Talent, lock and key! I enjoyed this very much. In my life, it was a pet bird, Peter, that I taught to talk and play with me. Amazing how these little gifts of God come to mean so much to our lives.

Comment from Daylily
Since I also have a cat, this beautiful etheree makes me smile -- especially as I think back to the ones I was privileged to enjoy having over many decades. I was only four when my first memory of one began. Thank you for prompting this nostalgic trip back in time revisiting all my fur babies.

You're so welcome - thank you very much! :) I have a photo somewhere of me holding Snowy when I was three. I'm holding him under his arms and his body is dangling in front of me with his back paws just brushing the ground. We're the same height. :)

I presently have a white cat named Minnie. Love your second verse about your cat and how he would sleep in your doll's pram. There is a feeling of comfort and happiness in your words. Your poem has a light feel and flow to it that takes the reader to your childhood. Best wishes for the contest.

Thank you so much! I was lucky to have been a child in this time and place. 1970s Australia was a haven. :)

This is a lovely story of childhood memories. And you've fit it so well with the poetry form. I like all the sensory descriptions of the first half. And, as I am a cat person, I can totally relate to the second half! Thanks for sharing. Julie

Thanks so much, Julie! :) He was such a beautiful cat and he lived a very interesting life. I should tell some of his anecdotes later.
