My Day 13 poem, loosely based on the prompt at https://www.napowrimo.net/day-thirteen-8/
It’s that feeling you get
only with a really good stretch
You know, the kind of stretch
that makes your cat extend its legs
that much farther
and then they shake a little
It’s not quite passing out
but it almost feels like
your mind is about to implode
And then you put your arms down
and sit there for a few moments
just sort of melting
(Don’t try to repeat the stretch—
you won’t be able to get that feeling again
until tomorrow, at the earliest)
I don’t know what you call that feeling
but I’ll bet that there’s a word for it
in German

Ahh…that feeling. I know- the imagery of the ‘cat stretching its front legs and then shaking a little’, explained it perfectly.
There’s nothing like that first stretch of the day! Love this, Kevin 💕🙂
Oh I can so relate to that feeling! Do share the German word when you know of it 🙂
Love that ‘feeling’ — and that last line– genius.
