Die Katze Am Fenster/ the Cat At the Window/ El Gato En La Ventana / Il Gatto Alla Finestra

Am Fenster die Katze Voller Spannung zum Sprung bereit Verfolgt sie den Vogel Vor dem geschlossenen Fenster Ist aber die Welt noch in Ordnung ------------------------------------------ The cat at the window With bated breath for the jump She pursues the bird In front of the closed window The world is yet in order ----------------------------------------- El gato en la ventana Con gran expectación del salto Persigue el pájaro Delante de la ventana cerrada Allá el mundo está en orden ---------------------------------------- Il gatto alla finestra Con il fiato sospeso per il salto Che persegue l'uccello Davanti alla finestra chiusa Il mondo è in ordine

I love cat poems, Gert. Ths reminds me of my two cats when they, from inside looking out, just stare at the birds. One of them starts making a very weird noise in her throat.like a crackling sound!! Hey, I guess you are my friend now at Facebook. I never go to that place, but feel free to write me anytime from there so that I can see it come to my hotmail and then I'll go find out what is going on! Luv, andrea

Thanks for the Italian one! Italian and Spanish are similar in many ways, sometimes I get confused. You have a nice week, too;)

Now U must tell what language this is, ((Die Katze am Fenster)) I know the other 2 languages, I think it would be more enjoyable if I learn the exotic one. I am Learning the French language still stuck. It looks a bit like French. Have yourself a nice one.-SKAT

I see you have no soup mail, Gert. Wanted to communicate. This is such a sad day. Kind of need a lift, my friend. Thanks for reading my poems. I don't know what the future holds, but I'll always carry your beautiful words in my heart. Much love always, Carolyn

Yes, that's the natural order of things, Gert. The bird eats the worm, the cat eats the bird, and so on. Thinking about this, I may become a vegetarian. Smiles. Enjoyed your poem! Love, Carolyn
