Blackbird Jungle

pink,pink
persistent
protests proclaim
pussy purrs content with
his game-
on his
veranda
with much disdain-
I'll siesta here 'til
it rains

Note: We are vacation-sitting our daughter's cat this past fortnight or so

Delightful use of alliteration and a well-described portrait of your cat waiting for the rain to end. Nice cingku, Brian! Love, Carolyn
