The swift, whiz, of a spring breeze, Young leaves nodding in the trees. Quick flutter of small wings, through High branches searching the sky of blue. On cushion grass, Kitty walks, Anxious sits, meow, it talks. Watchful eyes, it hawks its prey, As its tail rapidly moves in play. Kitty's claws climb upward thrall As, first scattered raindrops fall. From one small branch, to the next, The bird jumps, in frighten chirps, perplex. Separated from branches, And glimmering light patches, Moving steadily above, The bird is all Kitty can dream of. Spring-shower subdues, chirps shrill. Sun's touch, expectations still. Fully Kitty's view, it cries. Tree blossoms, limbs open, thrill bird flies. 3/24/2022 Lind30 Rhyme Poetry Contest Sponsored by: Chantelle Anne Cooke LIND3O. 7,7,7,9 Syllable Count with Rhyme. How many syllable

Well said! Birds that fail to pay attention to waving tails pay the price for negligence. . . .
