The cat and the moon

Hi pals! This is my interpretation for this week theme in Take a Word: MOON.

THE CAT AND THE MOON

W. B. Yeats (1865-1939)

HE cat went here and there

And the moon spun round like a top,

And the nearest kin of the moon,

The creeping cat, looked up.

Black Minnaloushe stared at the moon,

For, wander and wail as he would,

The pure cold light in the sky

Troubled his animal blood.

Minnaloushe runs in the grass

Lifting his delicate feet.

Do you dance, Minnaloushe, do you dance?

When two close kindred meet,

What better than call a dance?

Maybe the moon may learn,

Tired of that courtly fashion,

A new dance turn.

Minnaloushe creeps through the grass

From moonlit place to place,

The sacred moon overhead

Has taken a new phase.

Does Minnaloushe know that his pupils

Will pass from change to change,

And that from round to crescent,

From crescent to round they range?

Minnaloushe creeps through the grass

Alone, important and wise,

And lifts to the changing moon

His changing eyes.

The cat and the spider are photos of mine. Moon and starry night were googled.

Lovely insects

Hello! I've been working so much that I couldn't find time and disposition to play with my digital collages... Fortunately, I managed to play this week. The theme is INSECTS in Take a Word. As I'm not a big fan of them I decided that showing you some cute babies dressed as insects wouldn't be out of topic! :) They are so adorable that I doubled the bet!
