Enough, with Cat

Our cat
Jellybean
What It Takes
by David Budbill
Enough
of a house
to keep
the bugs and rain
out
in the summer,
stay warm
in
in the winter.
Books
a few
musical instruments,
a garden,
silence,
some mountains,
maybe a cat.

Absolutely, a cat. Wonderful portrait.

Ha! Another thing in common…we have identical cats!! 🙂 A house is not a home, without a cat!!

I love this poem. Thanks for introducing me to Mr. Budbill. Looking forward to reading more once my library holds come in.

I just discovered David Budbill myself. He strikes me as a modern day Thoreau/poet. I’m currently reading three of his poetry books, and I’ll be sharing more of his work soon.

yes, oh yes. My niece and husband came to lunch today – and we four enjoyed all of that. And now, the silence.

Yes! It wouldn’t be called home of there weren’t books and a cat to sit on them when you are trying to read. 🙂
