Cats that sing to the Moon


'Cats that sing to the Moon' - Linocut - Acrylic ink on print-paper - digital collage - George Roberts May 2020
The nocturnal pursuits of Archie Boon


In the dark sack of night
When the Moon shines bright

Archie Boon, Inky cat and me
Go outside quite deliberately

And “Sing a song of sea bass, a pocketful of rye.
Four and twenty pilchards baked in a pie”

We sing Archie Boon
We sing to the Moon

We sing sad sea- shanties in fennel fish dreams
And watch our breath 'moon dance' in lemon light beams

George Roberts
