October Leaf 93 Poems by Teen/Young Adult Author Jean-Thomas Cullen at Galley City

85. LANDSCAPE, WITH CATS

On moving in; after night emptiness:
to acquire these old friends:
A tomcat named Joseph; cat–like Judith; and
     cat–Rose with her litter of 5:

Thank you for reading. If you love it, tell your friends. Please post a favorable review at Amazon, Good Reads, and other online resources. If you want to thank the author, you may also buy a copy for the low price of a cup of coffee. It's called Read-a-Latte: similar (or lower) price as a latte at your favorite coffeeshop, but the book lasts forever while the beverage is quickly gone. Thank you (JTC). PS: I wrote most of these poems (except the title poem, October Leaf) as a teenager, so I published them under the pseudonym A. T. Nager.
