April -- NaPoWriMo 2023 Day 18 -- My Cat - and a dVerse Poem for Poetics

 

              

            Cat in the Window 

Cat in the window, yes we could go out 

Out where there's giants, giants and monsters 

They'd outrun your legs, small legs carry you  

You think there's there, food on the wild 

Birds and mice for you, those are scarce for cats 

Monsters, giants, hawks, the bane of all cats 

Harness I could buy, put you on a lease 

We tried that before, that you did not like

You balked, wouldn't walk, be different this time? 

Best view from the house, I say "you stay there"
