Bandit

Bandit Un chat en noir et blanc, Bandit, Itches for owner’s departure Slouches on gray couch Leans against webbed blanket Lowers and tilts its head Wrinkles its fluffy fury chest Fixes its eyes on the camera lens And Freezes for a still image Owner scratches and pats its head And goes upstairs to nap Bandit stretches its limbs And licks its paws Bandit claws the jaune et bleu yarn Rips its webbed crochets Loosens its thick fibers Bandit flees Covered in yellow and blue lint By Marckincia Jean Free Verse 11/26/17
