Example Poem

Bird Watching

Reclining relaxed in the garden

the cat was ignoring my  calling,

indifferently birds kept on chirping,

idyllic conditions for poets.

Amusing deception, cat lazy

and silent just waiting for breakfast.

Indolent or working at trapping

a birdie who thinks that he's sleeping?

I'll leave now before I spoil something.
