Poem: Feline Dream by Mark Tulin

Wet autumn leaves blanket the wooden deck

as a feral cat looks through an open window.

He gazes into an empty space,

purrs a gentle feline dream,

wet-noses for a generous gift

or fresh catnip to roll onto

and patiently waits with curled paw

without a blink or a flinch

for a soft human touch

and the sanguine fragrance

of a kind woman.

I am an author, poet, humorist, and short story writer from Palm Springs, California. I write about various topics, from my early childhood in Philadelphia to my years as a family therapist and finally to my soul-searching in California. These are poetic narratives that may have humorous or serious content or both. Either way, I hope my poetry and stories resonate with you.
