I was moved by it, by Christopher Smart and the life that he seems to have lived, by the love of these creatures we call cats over the centuries, perhaps millennia and by the unspoken embrace of life. I have dwelled on the poem for days and shared it with others. Once again Phylis, a deep bow, a thank you.DanH in SDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03974244224735565528noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2988313475311500328.post-63338818734612950902013-08-13T09:00:20.052-05:002013-08-13T09:00:20.052-05:00Well, I doubt that Hirsch would ever stoop to writ...Well, I doubt that Hirsch would ever stoop to writing a poem only about his "too cute cat." :) But I know what you mean.

May be worth real study. Thank you, Phyllis, for bringing it to our attention.Ralph Murrehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11949171899797301924noreply@blogger.com
