Cold Cats

a cold wind mocks a feeble sun leaves shrink from its touch squirrels shiver in mink tails birds fluff down feathered coats a lone hawk skis the clouds a school bus inhales shivering children a dog paws the frozen ground the cat smiles from its litter box John G. Lawless ©11/13/2019

Awesome write... The kitty seems content but I do hate the cold. I like Summer. Bless you dear friend, Gina

We spent 13 years as "Cat Concierge" to a tiger cat who lived up to the billing

Nice poem. The cat clearly above the mundane things of life.
