Ana Mo Shoshin | Cat Sitting and Poetry Mini Vlog | Reading 4 volumes of poetry while visiting a very good boy @AnaMoShoshin | Uploaded April 2024 | Updated October 2024, 1 hour ago.
Hi, I’m Mo.
At the turn of the year, I was cat sitting for friends who happen to have a stellar poetry book collection. I was able to read 4 volumes of poetry and hang out with one of my favorite cat nephews, Gus!

I made this mini vlog over that time.

My video schedule, like many things in my life so far in 2024, has been all over the place. You wouldn't know it if I didn't tell you, but this vlog is going on 4 month old. I really enjoyed reliving this quiet and peaceful time. I hope you enjoy!

I've talked about all these books in either my Dec Wrap Up or my Jan Wrap Up. See those videos here:

Here is one of the poems I really liked:

And I Have You

Rain has drops Sun has shine
Moon has beams That make you mine

Rivers have banks Sands for shores
Hearts have heartbeats That make me yours

Needles have eyes Though pins may prick
Elmer has glue To make things stick

Winter has Spring Stockings feet
Pepper has mint To make it sweet

Teachers have lessons Soup du jour
Lawyers sue bad folks Doctors cure

All and all this much is true
You have me And I have you
-Nikki Giovanni

Books in this video:
Love Poems (1997) Nikki Giovanni
The Panther and the Lash (1967) Langston Hughes
I Shall Not Be Moved (1990) Maya Angelou
The Wild Iris (1992) Louise Gluck

Cats in this video: Just Gus

Thanks for joining me today! I try to post videos three times a week. I post about creative simple living in New Jersey: books, cats, productivity, sustainability, beach life, and more!
