My Writing Partner
His velvet ears sweetly sit
in wait for my finger’s touch.
Twitching at the squeaking door
the nick and scar flip on alert
and tell the tale of an unseen foe.
Quiet and reserved, gentle in repose
he holds traumas casual observers miss.
I do not want to wish the days away, yet the month of March is long.
The work has new meaning. I am grateful.

To Read To Write To Be 
Fun writing partner! Agree. Don’t want to wish this done and yet I find myself looking forward to days with a little more breathing space!
What a perfect writing partner!! Happy Day 28 of March! WOW!!
Your writing partner is purr-fect! Glad he’s been there for the 28 days of slicing.
A quiet, affectionate,cuddly writing partner. A very positive choice for feedback.
Such a sweet writing partner! Sometimes it just helps having another living, breathing creature near as we write. I’m sure you get great feedback.
I have a canine writing partner. She has been the inspiration for a few posts, including today’s. Her presence by my side is very calming.
Love seeing the picture, too, and that you wrote about your sweet partner.
Ah, that gentle writing partner! Yes, this month is lingering on and yet I see more and more creative slices today. We are pushing ourselves through.
Now, that sounds like the perfect writing partner.
So long, this Month of March. I saw the title and was thinking – Julieanne has a writing partner? Who is this? Now, I see, Ideal. I just read Beth Kephart’s new book: This is the Story of You (released in April) There is a wonderful character/cat relationship in this novel.
Sounds like a book I should get! Thanks!
And if you’re looking for a cat person informational picture book, “It’s all about me-ow” is also pretty purr-fect
I’m with Carrie–“Julieanne has a writing partner?” I have one too–only she’s gray and white, LOL. Love the creativity here. You really captured the quiet trauma watchfulness very well too.
Lovely poem, tender photo, precious moments. A quiet day-after-easter slice of repose.
sweet poem!
Yes, the month of March is long. Love the pictures of your velvety eared writing partner!
What a sweet companion you have. Thanks for introducing him to us!
