The Cat -- NaPoWriMo Day 28 -- a Shape, Shaped, or Concrete Poem
The Cat in the Window
(an) (an)
(Ear) (Ear)
in the window
my cat in the window
cat in the window looking out
(Eye) looking in, out for her friends, birds
Birds are singing, cat is smiling applause
Sits, stares, and smiles for me
Smiling at me ready for her food
She's smiling at me ready for her meal
She's smiling at me ready for her tasty meal
When it comes she'll jump down to where
She'll jump down where I am
(Leg ) ready for supper now ready to eat, chomp down
(Leg ) wants it now ready to eat, chomp, swallow it down
(Leg ) wants it now ready
(Foot ) she'll be saying, "please, please, I want to eat"
(Foot ) she gets her bowl will say (tail tail tail tail tail tail tail tail)
"Meow, meow, thank you, thank you" chomp, "Meow, I love you" chomp chomp "Purr purr purr purr purr purr purr purr purr . . . "

- The Photo is of Amber, my grand-cat, belonging to our younger daughter, but who had lived with us almost all of her five years while she and family lived in London. I took this picture from my 2007 posting,
Amber was a nice had. She died in 2013 at age 19.

It must have been hard to give her up. Our cats have always loved windows, too. 💙
Love this ... reminding me of my favorite e.e.cummings style.
I really enjoyed the repetition in your poem
I do admire the shaped & concrete poem - its a challenge I know. Meow...
Oh that tail... it speaks so very loud.
