Spoiled cats miaou at elbows for pets;
Spring peepers peep in closing distance.
No graphics on the next one.
Peppermint-oil-diffused mist drifts and
finds origins in Spring’s fresh breeze.
I decided to use the crystalline poetry form. Each couplet stands alone.

I like how the spring breeze carries the peppermint. That video removed a mystery of where that peeping sound came from in spring. I had no idea.

They are in the ponds and ditches around here. When I had a rain barrel up, it was a place they frequented. Glad to have solved the mystery for you, Frank 🙂

Wild chives and mustard plants trumps peppermint for the olfactory prize. Our cat was put down years ago,, and your first line makes me pine for a gato.

This past fall it had been about 20 years since I had any cats. I had my dog Chauncey from 2004-2016. After retiring in 2018 I started volunteering at a cat rescue with my younger son and his wife. It wasn’t long before Mlady (then her name was Crumpet) chose me; then a few months later, Dotty (then her name was Elphaba) charmed me. My house has become a home again ❤ ❤ ❤

This sounds like the tree frogs we hear at the end of summer here, a pleasant nighttime sound. At my last home, I planted peppermint by my front door, thinking I would enjoy the fragrance. I did not realize it was extremely invasive and it quickly took over my flower bed! Thanks for the write. I enjoyed.

Glad you connected with the poems. Yes, anything in the mint family goes ga-ga from what I’ve seen of it. I keep it in containers but even then it escapes! Thank you, Beverly, hope you are settling in to your new place.
