Caren Krutsinger Poet Rhyme

Crouching Cat

crouching down in the grass
she felt like a puma or at least a tiger
the grass barely moved
she was careful not to breathe

a rabbit went past.
too big to take.
She let it live
She was waiting for a chipmunk

She had spotted him yesterday
He was overconfident
she could hardly wait to
bite off his head

John Lawless June 2, 2022 at 3:07 PM The Cat is a Lonely Hunter....and the chipmunk probably watches too much Chip and Dale Caren Krutsinger June 2, 2022 at 10:24 PM Sure; if he has a TV set from the 60's. Snicker.Snicker.

L Milton Hankins June 2, 2022 at 11:05 AM Boy, you've certainly nailed this hunter. I often see the feral cats stalking my squirrels. They are mostly too slow to catch one, though. Caren Krutsinger June 2, 2022 at 10:24 PM I have had some mighty fast cats.

Darlene De Beaulieu June 2, 2022 at 10:59 AM Hello Caren, that last line of your poem made me say Yuck! Hugs. Do they really bite the heads off the chipmunks? Hugs. Darlene De Beaulieu June 3, 2022 at 3:45 AM Hello Caren, cats takes the heads off baby bunnies! Chipmunks to?! My cat is an indoor cat. I will not let her out. Hugs.
