Reason A. Poteet Poet Free verse

Papa Cat

Part calico, part Cheshire, part polecat,
kits learn secrets of disguise
from Papa Cat, king of stealth.
"Goodnight, my little ferrets,
tomorrow, we climb trees."

August 8, 2018
inspired by Hungarian "naive" art
The Cat King, Koday Laszlo

Caren Krutsinger August 8, 2018 at 4:30 AM Papa Cat sounds formidable; we had a calico cat for 19 years, so I know how tough and stealthy they can be.
