Luanne Castle: Poetry and Other Words (and cats!) · Poetry, Other Words, and Cats
Sweet!
Hahaha, kitty love!
That is a beautiful little story, Luanne!
Thank you, Lavinia! We love our kitties!
Congratulations, Luanne. xx
Hahaha –very cat! 😻
🙂
I love the connection with the cat. Sweet story.
And who can resist one that talks?!
Not me, that’s for sure.
Hah!
Congratulations, Luanne!
Thanks, Liz!
You’re welcome, Luanne!
Love the Darling short story!
Hah, thanks, Eilene!
Perry is a doll. At least he says nice things! My cats might not.
Hehe, Perry says nice things, but sometimes he is naughty. He is very much like Peter Rabbit.
Love it, Luanne! Loved it so much you’ve inspired me to try flash fiction again!! Perry is a gem.
Yes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Wow, so glad to hear that. I can’t wait to read it! Thanks, Sheila.
Congratulations! Wonderful story! That is one adorable cat! 🙂
Thanks, Linda! Yes Perry and Darling are both adorable ;).
Love it! (I also left a comment on the website 🙂)
Thanks so much, Marie!!!
I am so glad Perry has a published poem in his honor (though it may not be his first).
Technically, a micro story, but no, it’s not the first. I wrote him a poem here too: https://www.trashtotreasurelit.com/publishedpieces/perry-by-luanne-castle?fbclid=IwAR0NDpnRa47y-dvmbTUl3MIyY1bu-UteRbcaNsE8A66Jaayj9pZuwwIz6M8
That is so interesting. Of course, it was a micro story. But I read it as a poem, with different line breaks. He is well-feted.
