F I N N A T T by:itzhak bareket .


          f i n n a t t ,
  - a black-white  cat-
  is  looking  now
  like  she  is death.

    but she  is  not,
         it's   hot .

   it ' s    summer  time.
           finnatt ,
  doesn ' t   give  a  dime .

   completely   relaxed ,
      mind   and   body
   in  the   shadow ,
   she   doesn ' t    accept  now
           any  company .

    she  is    really
    no   doubt , very  busy,
    f i n n a t t  ,  is   doing
  a   lot   of    nothing .

    '''DOLCE    FAR    NIENTE "
  (  sweet   doing    nothing .  )

    very   smart   my dear   f i n n a t t
            good   t o    learn .
   i ' ll   take   it    to   my heart .
              thank   you .
         M  I  A  O  O  !

Hello Itzhak...

This is so lovely and enchanting... ”’DOLCE FAR NIENTE “, is such a soothing and graceful thought. I agree with the wise Finnatt. Beautifully done Itzhak. Raven-Shakti Out of the quarrel with others we make rhetoric; out of the quarrel with ourselves we make poetry. -W.B. Yeats
