Notes About The Poem

For the 'Intro ''POI''-etry' Poetry Contest of Hilo

RAT

What was that
Running around, chased
By my cat?

With great haste
And also fear,
Away I raced.

My kitty dear
Thrashed a rat,
her new souvenir!

Andrea, you made this very cute and realistic. I take it you don't like rodent carcasses being thrown around.
