Linda Alice Fowler Poet Etheree

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!

Ann Peck February 6, 2023 at 10:29 AM 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!
