    I am cat sitting a few days while our granddaughter, daughter, and Mrs. Jim are in NYC cat sitting our next youngest cat for about ten days. The cat here is our daughter's, a Russian Grey named Dutch. He is a rescue cat from a elderly lady who couldn't care for him anymore.

      I'm glad to hear your daughter took in the cat. It was probably a great relief to the older woman.

    Our cat turned into an outside cat when she wouldn't stay off the shears.

      Yeah, he does that a lot! Plotting something I think. He's pretty much that way!

The Iris: A Quadrille

Bloom is the prompt word for today's dVerse quadrille.  Write a quadrille (a poem of EXACTLY 44 words, not including the title) AND include the word “bloom” or a form of the word within the body of the poem. A synonym for bloom does not fulfill the prompt. It must be the word “bloom”, or a form of the word, for example “bloomed, or blooming or bloomin’”. The bearded iris started blooming last week. Purples first, then the orange. “Mango Passion” it’s called. Fancy! My purples were free off a curb. They are the nameless mutts of the garden. Beautiful none the less, like the proverbial rose by any other name. ©2026 Lisa Smith Nelson. All Rights Reserved   Mango Passion

Wooldridge’s Poemcrazy: Freeing Your Life with Words."

I knew you were there, for I wouldn’t have dreamed alone. Strangers grabbed at me, ripping me from the crowd.  I was panicking, thrashing my arms, kicking my legs. I woke covered with sweat, tangled in my duvet. Who were you in my dream? ...
