Here are a few sample poems to wet your appetite.
Dread Locks

I will make your black top flecked
And your fleeces become fur-leeses
Now guess where I´m shedding?
On your bedding
So everyone is sneezing
Coughing and cursing
They come at me
With brushes, combs and try
To tame these rebel locks
Which morph
Into dandelion spores
Drifting and gliding
Like freedom flags
On the wild wind
Demons Of Desire
There's something in the jaunt
Of your tail
That shoots shivers through mine
Your jade lantern eyes
And subtle scents
Invoke a feverish ferocity
I simply can't resist you
That's my supper call
Will you still be here
Later?
Tail Of A Cat

Didn´t you notice
There´s a fandango
In my tail ?
A horse´s tail swishes flies
While mine is a writhing snake
A dog´s tail droops and wags
while mine´s a flag hoisted high
A mouse´s tail trails behind
While mine quivers with flamenco fire
This tail
Is a dancing shadow
Of the soul´s darkest passions
Windfall
Rolling
On a crackling carpet
Of fallen leaves
Savouring rays
Of windfall
Sungold
Handycat
When the handyman comes
I like to help out
He opens the tool box
And I jump into it
He drops a screwdriver
So I pick it up
And hide it
He makes a pile of dust
Then I spread it around
He has a mug of tea
So I have a sip too
We´re quite a team

Cat Magick - Book 2
The first book was all from a cat´s point of view, while the new one is a mixture. Cat Magick poems are more varied.
Many are hilarious, while others are like vivid portraits, full of character, spooky, wicked or tender.
Stefan is aiming to have the book in print by Christmas 2010. Be the first to know when it's available? email us now and we'll put you on our priority list.
Stroke Of Midnight
On the stroke
Of midnight
The hand
Of darkness
Casts a cloak
Of velvet dreams
Over the sleepers
And for all
Who are wakeful
An exquisite tenderness
Smoothes away
The wrinkles of the day
Like the paw
Of a yawning cat
Stretching, releasing
Embracing the air
Without a care
