Thanks, OF. It’s not too forced, then? The original left out the whole rhyming stanza about reason and figments, but I felt I had to honor form for form’s sake. Ending the thing with a metaphor seemed too jarring, too “stand alone”…….some pieces write themselves; this was not one of them..

No, it flows very nicely, the termination at the end works very well too, I hadn’t anticipated it, but it fitted so well, it seemed prescient!

Just looked round and the cat was looking at me round the corner of the door! Spooky! Guess she wants something! XX

Poor cat, I let her out, but I waited to see her off, and she came back in – unusual normally, but there is an amorous male cat been hanging around this last few days, he’s huge, and very much in love!! He sits outside and howls for hrs!

Good. I was hoping for that!!! A “happy ending” would have rendered the whole thing null.

Yes, she loves daddy more. Poor boy, too. Perhaps she’s embarrassed.
