Bloodcurdling

Royally draped over a soft cushion
hugging a soft, fluffy white carpet
her gaze wanders 
to the flickering images
on the TV screen
before her...
abruptly transfixed
rocking on her haunches now
her eyes darting back and forth
as if at a ping-pong match...
she tenses now
back arched
hints at moving
A bloodcurdling SCREAM is heard
she leaps; flies away

Chris Green Date: 10/28/2019 2:49:00 PM Ha!!! I could picture this clearly. You have got to be talking about a cat. This was really cool my friend. Login to Reply Gershon Wolf Date: 10/28/2019 4:10:00 PM I was kind of wondering how you figured this out. LOL. Maybe I shouldn't have put 'cat' in the categories selections. Would have been more fun that way. Oh, well... I really appreciate how you got into this one. I based it on an internet video my wife showed me, a fascinating study of a cat watching a horror movie. Thanks so much, Gershon Chris Green Date: 10/28/2019 3:21:00 PM Duh, I just noticed you have cat listed next to this poem...
