Those birds better be on the lookout because that cat can wreck havoc. Congrats on your winning work. Way to go. Sara

Dear Jan, your vibrant imagery of the busy nest building blackbirds is contrasted wonderfully by the potential menace of you last line. Great juxtaposition and haiku! Best wishes for a win and warmest wishes for you.. ~Susan

A cat sits on the fence, between two minds: to watch or to act!! I hope he'll opt for the first option! ~ Hope you're keeping well, my friend! Hugs // paul

We had birds in the nesting box and a cat was always prowling, thankfully the birds survived:-) xx

hi, Jan. That's a cute one. If my cat were watching those birds, she would be making really strange noises. That's what Razmatazz used to do as she sat watching birds from the window sill
