The Confident Cat

The peach sky mesmerized the kitten and enticed her to try
So she walked a tightrope, up close into the gorgeous light sky
The clouds turned into fish, giving her a feeling of dinner.
She felt honored and revered, she knew she was a winner.
Easy to forget what you are doing and lose your step,
But this cat was agile and had plenty of adoring pep.
She walked the high wire as well as any ballerina before her.
The onlookers watched with awe; many now adore her.
None realizing she was feral with a very scary life.
She is now a famous feline, and will make a terrific wife.
Many Toms woo her, but she takes time to make up her mind.
She has been through trauma, and needs one who is gentle and kind.

very interesting one. Seems to be a metaphor as well. It's so great how you write so much each day, Caren.

Thank you Andrea. I write constantly when I am not painting *drums* or teaching or counseling or grand-ma-ing or gardening. My husband says i have SO many hobbies I guess I do!

I love your line "a famous feline, and will make a terrific wife." Who knows? I hope she continues to be picky!
