Cat String




Cat String

String
Oh string
Caught to chest
on current of draft
from the spare bedroom
window where I
blend into the duvet
temper in calm refrain
from all raucous racket
leaving no trace of my impending
claw strike
should the humans crack my
composure and touch even
a fur bare declawed finger tip
to
String
Oh string
Curling a shaft
of sunlight

    Love the mental picture of the cat on the duvet planning a claw strike!

    You take on the point of view well. You must know a cat or two. =^..^=

    charming poetic work......the image of the 'bed cat' brings back memories of my 3 cats....

    I wouldn't want to crack his composure. Vivid imagery made it seem like a memory.
