Sleeping, silent, a gentle purr,
Curled up, so small, a ball of Fur.
Listening, alert, a familiar sound,
Footsteps, padding along the ground.
Paused, still, not even a flicker,
Eyes dart, mind whirrs, which way is quicker.
Glaring, a look, the window is shut,
How to escape that dastardly mutt.
Jumping, up high, to the top of the fridge,
A shelf, on the wall, that serves as a bridge.
This is great, I need to practise poetry more, I'm terrible at it! I love reading it, though :)
ReplyDeleteThanks! I meant to write a little story but wasn't inspired. This was the best I could do. Thanks for stopping by :)
DeleteFantastic poem Kate - I love poetry that rhymes!
ReplyDeleteFavourite line "Eyes dart, mind whirrs, which way is quicker."

DeleteHow fun! I really enjoyed your poem.
ReplyDeleteLOL!!! Loved it!
ReplyDeleteHi Joyce, thank you! Hope youre well :)
DeletePoetry! Now there's something I hadn't even considered, so I shall bear that in mind for future FSF - thank you. Lovely piece. If you enjoy reading poetry, I've had a stab at a couple over on my blog, so feel free to dip your toe into it any time, if you so desire :)
ReplyDeleteThanks, I wrote it because when my story mojo runs off I rely on poetry to look after me. I will definitely be checking out some of your poems as your FSF is great.
DeleteNot inspired?
ReplyDeleteReally well done.
The beginning reminded me of this.

ReplyDeleteAgain it's so visual.... I'm totally seeing my (mum's) cat doing this eheh
I was a cat in a past life, that's why I am so fluffy and demanding! lol
DeleteAwesome!!! It's always wonderful to see poetry FSF style. Nice look inside the head of a cat :)
ReplyDeleteI'm sure I was one in a past life! A cat that is :)
DeleteA nice portrait of cats. Wonderful creatures that you've captured well. Sorry again for your loss Kate.
