Sara Kendrick Poet I do not know?

Cat Bath

Whitey sitting innocently
Next to the bird bath 
Looking so penticently
You are doing the math

Bathe, well this is a bath
Lick, scratch first stomach
Ears high turning like a rath
Now repose where are the birds

Do you suppose
Scratch, bathe wait
Repose, doze 
You innocently bait

Just one dumb bird
And the feast begins
Birds are not getting the word
Need an email send

Kakraba Afful September 3, 2009 at 4:03 PM I like the way the rhyme depicts the slow motion of the cat.

Carolyn Devonshire September 3, 2009 at 3:24 PM This gave me a good laugh, Sara! I have a neighbor whose birdbath is often being "eyed" by local cats. I'm going to be off the Soup for a while as I move, but I'm glad I had a chance to read this delightful poem! Love, Carolyn

Robert Coles September 3, 2009 at 7:24 AM This is very well written, it vividly captures the broken movement of a feline. You've created a true snapshot of life.
