Who Dines This Night

Snow swirling in winter air birds take to crabapple tree in limbs shaking the fruit everywhere Red now spread upon blanket of white still none view the snowcat in sight carefully she creeps through that blanket of white Yet her purr becomes disturbing this night Just in time -- the birds take flight Whilst bidding the snowcat a hearty -- Good-Bye

The Night Images In This Poem Is Stunning! (I've Always Loved Winter Scenes) The Storyline is Riviting In Suspense, as The Snowcat's Soft Paw-Pads, Creep slowly Forward ... But Poor Kitty, Didn't Get To Dine That Night ... Good One Adell ... MoonBee (And Thank You For Your Wonderful Comments On My Writes - Always, Much Appreciated ... MoonBee

'Snowcat'...I love that description! Also the 'red on white' comparison...I assume it was a housecat or a stray-cat?...They are very efficient hunters!...The birds were lucky! Great write! - Tim
