The thick-pelted feline
Slick ebony and pearl
Wakes up to a rising sun.
Stretching into the new day
She pads over to the cat flap
Sneaking, slipping through
Quietly as a mouse.
She glides through a hedge
Adorned with Christmas lights
Reflections in her luminous amber eyes
Slithering back once more
She leaps on to the counter gracefully
And proceeds to scoff down your Christmas Dinner.
What a beautiful poem tabby, I love the metaphor of the cat being as quiet as a mouse and the part about the lights reflecting in the cat’s eyes. You truly have a way with words little lady! Keep it up XX
The most wonderful poem I’ve read in years. Such beautiful language and a punchy punchline to end. Superb!! Well done. Cannot believe the writer is only 10!!!
