Poem
At the time of the incident, I lived in an old mansion, that was undergoing renovations and expansion. Outside the night was dark and a storm was raging, but, I was cozy in the library with hundreds of books aging. I was reading and petting my big old cat Fred, until a flash of lightning lit the night and Fred quickly fled. At first, I did not worry but after hours I went searching, I expected to find Fred on a shelve perching. I could hear him meowing and it seemed very far away, sometimes, he is hard to find because he is dark gray. For hours I searched the house and I was getting worried, so, to call my friend, Detective Nancy Drew I hurried. Come fast Nancy, my beloved cat has gone missing, suddenly, I heard Fred growling loudly and hissing. Nancy and her team arrived through a deluge of rain, by this time, I was weeping and my heart was in pain. The team searched all night the house from room to room, but could find nothing and I was feeling a sense of doom. The odd thing was no one else but me could hear him, they came back day after day but finding him looked dim. After months and months I could no longer live in the house, so leaving it behind I sadly moved to a farmhouse. The mansion was empty for awhile until someone bought it, there was a problem though- the cat meowing that would not quit. _____________________ August 25, 2022 Poetry/Rhyme/The Case Of The Missing Cat Copyright Protected, ID 08-1483-308-25 All Rights Reserved, 2022, Constance La France Written for the Premiere contest, Start Sleuthing sponsor, Natasha L Scragg, Judged 08/02/2022 Fourth Place
