What do you think?

I was playing around with ideas for a fourth book. The draft of my third book is being critiqued this month.

What I wrote started as a poem, then it evolved into different keywords to characterize Tulip's traits.

Here's what I have so far:

The Trouble with Tulip

To me, there are few cats worth writing about;

Of the many the felines I’ve known in my life,

Only two were worthwhile that I’d want to tout.


The first one was Liberty; who wrote his own Scrapbook.

The second is Tulip, my roommate, is currently… (I ran out of rhymes)


Tulip is:

Naughty in the nicest of ways

Mischievous, but forgivable

Forever unforgettable

Incorrigible - most like a teen

Gets into trouble like I’ve never seen

Always tests limits, especially mine.

Friendly to all, even to strays

No scaredy-cat, Tulip. She's spiced up my days.

Being curious hasn't killed her (as of yet)


I'm not sure if the world needs another children's book about cats.

Maybe I will just immortalize Tulip with a poem.


Any thoughts?
