Could there be a better OpShop find? I will only talk in cat poems from now on.

The lovely Irene will help you Live Your Poem – and share fabulous poetry inspiration from the whole Poetry Friday gang. Have a tigerific weekend. I’m excited for next week – a whole week talking books and poetry as author in residence at St John the Baptist Catholic Primary School … Swoon! Purrrrrfect!)

I love these Kat! (I actually typed “Cat” at first – an appropriate typo ;-). I especially like the first one – wise words for the kitten in all of us.

I sometimes go to type cat with a ‘k’ – so I get that typo, Elisabeth.😹

Nope! Hands down BEST op shop find by a girl name Kat ever! I love this! At first I thought you found a box and altered it to look like cat poetry. But it’s a real thing! Of course, this is the beginning of something. Can’t wait to see more whiskers…now where do I find such a treasure in my local thrift shops? I will now keep my eyes open for this!

I was working in the OpShop and had set them aside in a basket to buy at the end… and the basket was empty when I came back! I was momentarily devastated, thinking I had lost them. We were all very glad when we rediscovered them! (Hubby declared that they were perfect find – which was really rather lovely.)

A wild whisker of poetry for a very special Kat! Brilliant. I need to get this set for my mom, who loves cats (but poetry not so much.) Maybe this will win her over?? xo

I was actually wondering if this is what happens to poetry gifts I give to others… I hope not! But then… I am so delighted to have given this an appreciative home.

PURRFECTION! Your poem described our chunky tiger perfectly. He expresses affection with his “pointy parts.” Not a snuggler, to say the least.

What a find! This line cracked me up: “I will only talk in cat poems from now on.” Your cat-inspired poems are such a delight. I’ll stay tuned, hoping to see more.

Kat, your post has reminded me to go in search of my magnetic poetry pieces. I went through a phase some years back where I ‘made’ a magnetic poems, photographed them and shared them on a semi regular basis. You have prompted me with your poems. Op shops often offer up unexpected treasures, no doubt about that. The poems juxtaposed in the photos with your op shop find works well.

As a mother of 3 cats and a Kat, I love this poetry find! As an answer to your question on my PF post, I speak into the Notes app on my phone. They way Siri interprets my southern accent is crazy sometimes. Thanks for your optimistic enthusiasm.

Dear friend, Kat, you whisper of poetry love. Who can believe you found this delightful kit to speak like a cat, Kat! Happy poeming to you. I am looking for an image poem for my fall gallery. Perhaps, your cat box will come up with a clever kitty whisper.

This is such a great find, and so much fun! Several years ago I was gifted a set of folders that are magnetic. I filled them to capacity with a few different magnetic poetry sets and find the collection to be inspirational when the well is otherwise dry. A set of “cat lover” words would be a great addition, despite my being a dog person. Thanks for sharing!
