Thursday Thoughts - CATastrauphic Divorce in Israel

Image by Carlos Porto via freedigitalphotos.net


Dear Cat Lady,

You really didn't think that maybe
Did you name each and every one?
(Trying to think of and remember those would be fun.)
I hope that they "do their business" outside,
but bet they do it where they want, with pride.

They were just hungry, not trying to be rude.
Ok, so maybe cats in groups have more attitude,
but that's just too much pussy! (Sorry to be crude,
but you don't have to be a feline fearing, pussy prude,
to feel sorry for the dude the way the story is being skewed.)

Have you been training them to do kitty tricks
like jump over candlesticks and ninja smash bricks?
Maybe you should start with jumping and fetching sticks?
Or just photograph them doing funny air licks?
I hope there's no cat fight over who's your top picks.

If you already endured a husband who was was
worse than 500 cats worth of dirty hair fuzz,
then you don't deserve the stress of feline disunity
and it's barrage of scrapes and hisses that drive some to lunacy.
I hope you've got a plan for your kitty clan.
Let me know how it's going if and when you can.

Enjoy embracing your new single lady style!

Sincerely,

Rachel Hoyt

Wacky Word Wednesday - Espy

Espy
by Rachel Hoyt

Image by Pixomar via freedigitalphotos.net

The word espy
is often used in poetry
to mean notice or see.

So, if you espy "espy",
what did you see?

You saw poetically
what it means to espy.

Every week I rhyme and define a new wacky word.
Come on over to indulge your inner nerd.
And, please let me know of any weird words you've heard.

Friday Photo Fun - Something in Landscape

Something in Landscape
by Rachel Hoyt



They decorate the landscape around a music hall
named for a man who animated smiles for all.
It's color is calming, loving and lovely.
In 2005 it was California's 'it' tree.

Friday Photo Fun is when I share a randomly captured moment,
or perhaps a photo experiment with more purposeful intent,
then pair it with a rhyming riddle to exercise your mind
and teach you more weird facts to which you once were blind.


After the answer is guessed, I will post a second, non-abstract photo,
and just in case you wanted to know,
the first is not a photoshopped version of the second -
they're shot using different techniques that to me beckon.



Wanda wins again with her guess, Pink Trumpet Tree.
Without her plant knowledge we
might never see
the answer to this riddle ditty!
