John Lawless Poet Free verse

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

W.A. Cholt November 13, 2019 at 2:59 PM Nice poem. The cat clearly above the mundane things of life. John Lawless November 25, 2019 at 7:59 AM it's been said that "dogs have owners, cats have staff"
