Cat

On tiptoe, I slink to the open door planning my escape. Just as I make my sprint for the outside, I am stopped and scolded for my brash attempt. Fates! Why must I be hapless captive by the vexing mistress of this dwelling? I wait until the night is sober black to claim revenge for her abuses against these natural instincts. A fallen vase will rouse her as she sleeps and in her daze I shall tangle around her feet and she shall sense my wrath!

First, thank you for the warm congratulatory remark to my poem. I now congratulate you for your BIG WIN! It's well deserved. Your cat story is clever as well as vindictively funny, and I also like the half-arrowhead shape of your poem, it's very artistic...ab

There is nothing like a cat to create havoc in one's life! But, their purr as they curl in your lap kind of makes up for it--and, they're not messy like my two dogs! A really cute poem, Linda. Congratulation on big win!
