A Dog and Cat

A dog and cat
are not great pals, but I have seen
a dog and cat,
friends on the street. Imagine that!
These strays share food in times so lean.
How sweet when nothing comes between
a dog and cat!

For Dr. Ram's Rondelet Contest

Love your poem. Imagine that! Reminds me of the nursery rhyme. "There was an old lady that swallowed a cat / imagine that! she swallow a cat. It was one of my favorites when I was a kid. it's a long one. it starts out "There was an old lady who swallowed a fly............. and it ends ".........There was an old lady who swallowed a horse / she's dead of course."

You would be surprised at the different animals who make friends with a natural enemy. If it were me I'd be feeding the two of them. Great job here. God Bless, JB

How true, a dog and a cat, a wonderful metaphor for people who have many differences too, if they can get along, "imagine that!" :) An excellent poem, congrats on your win.

Love it. This poem is ripe with sharing - a good message. I grew up in Denver, where the poem takes place. Actually, I guess, I've never really left home. It was that good. Love, daver

How strange - and how sweet! Our Paddy was friends with a cat when he was a puppy, but then one day he just started growling at it.
