A random moment
involving one cat,
a red door and
my morning walk.
Which evolved into a poem.
The Poem
On the porch
Comfy and dry
The cat yawns.
Not a purr
Uttered at all.
A fixed stare
With green eyes.
From the steps
No creaking sound.
The cat waits.
She'll be back.
Life at No. 22 
Brilliant.
You definitely are a poet — no wannabe about it!

Thanks, Sarah, walking past that house this morning, no cat to be seen, just a toddler on a swing which no doubt accounted for the cat’s absence.

I still feed my friend Marie’s cat. She was bewildered for a while, but a survivor,like most of us, I guess. Good poem, Suzanne 🤗💕
