Shadowplay #2
This poem lost in a Spectator contest, but Brian Allgar assured me it would find a home. So I'm happy to report that it appears in the new Shadowplay, to be found on Amazon.
In Bed With Auden
Watched by every human love,
My brown cat lies down to sleep.
She can have her choice of beds:
Fresh clean laundry in a heap,
Books that I’m about to read,
Keyboards where my hands are set,
Cupboards left an inch ajar.
Not one need will go unmet
In her small enchanted world.
With one squeak, the water’s changed
And the liver or the fish
Are most tastefully arranged.
Tiny mistress, may you rest
Long on every shoe or glove.
On the cushion of your choice
Lay your sleeping head, my love.

Sweet.
Amazon has dozens of entries for "Shadowplay" or "Shadow Play," even after filtering to poetry. Can you be more specific, or provide a link? Thanks.

Jim is correct (thanks, Jim!) I know how it is when your title is one of many, having once written a book called "Catechism".
