| A poem written for a challenge elsewhere... Using the words, cat, dog, ball, elf, wish, well. ... Cool green feline eyes, unnoticed, unseen A cat tail flicks in anticipation While the hapless canine starts his routine Of dog and ball in unification Again, and again he jumps and catches Demonstrating, and refining his skill She pads her paws, flexes claws, and scratches Muscles now taut, as she waits for the kill
She pounces so fast, appears as a blur Grabs at his tail as it swings in mid swish That mischievous elf covered in fur Managed to fulfil her kittenish wish
She saunters off, knowing she has done well Nonchalantly he stops, to sniff a smell ... _________________ Steve www.noaddress.co.uk

| I liked this poem, but it's obviously not based on my cat as she even runs away from birds. |
