I Alone … and Cricket the Cat (poem)

New Quadrille prompt, a dVerse poem of just 44 words with a word to include . This time around, in the prompt from Lisa, the word is “with”. And the 44 word count does not include the title by the way.

Well, I thought to one of my cats and my well practiced solitude.

I Alone … and Cricket the Cat

I alone

mostly

with intent

No sympathies fished

.

Alone  

with company

only of a blind/deaf cat for dinner

and unknowing muse

of word’s dessert

.

Alone  

I embrace Cricket’s solitude

as my own

with only laps and words

Needed for us to feel

in tandem
