Shadow Art

Her tail quivering 
My cat leapt into the air 
Grabbing hold of my ceiling light 

Being a boring night 
I turned the light on 
And watched her shadow 
Change from time to time 

Sometimes it appeared to be a face 
Other times… as a large bird 
But later that night 
The best shadow she projected 
Was one of a cat 
Hanging from the ceiling

Cats are fun! I can certainly picture this in my head. Good one, CJ. Kim
