About Kylie:
Poetry puts a happy hum in my heart. My plan for 2018 is to encourage as many people as I can to find the poetry in their lives. I will continue sharing poetry for children here, and for their mums and dads on my social media accounts @picklesandpords. Thanks for reading!
A Perfect Place to Sleep
Regarding you with such disdain
From on his throne
Of throw rugs that are
His alone,
He wonders if you’ll
Dare suggest
He moves an inch so
You can rest.
He shows a claw
Of warning;
This is his spot
Until morning.
He is comfy and
What’s more
There is room there
On the floor.
You sigh and moan
A bit
Then reluctantly
You sit,
And perhaps you’re
Going mad
But the floor is
Not so bad.
You might even
Take a nap.
But what’s this?
He’s in your lap.
He purrs. Pleased
With his leap.
What a perfect
Place to sleep.

A lovely poem, Kylie.
Beautiful! So like a cat, and so like its person!
Thoroughly delightful poem with it’s simple structure, accessible vocabulary and unforced rhyme, capturing perfectly domestic feline attitude and expectation.
