The End

The sun rises unseen, hidden
A caged cat cries a sad howl
With the incinerator fired
On a cloudy day so foul

While the fowls of the air fly high
Enjoying the cool morn
Song birds sing a good-bye tune 
Tom-Pierre his fate mourns 

Tom-Pierre...a stray male cat

Alexis Y. Date: 8/3/2016 2:44:00 PM Hi Sara, It's so sad this has to be his fate. I adore cats, don't have one at the moment. But we had several cats when I was a kid. Well done-7:-) Alexis Login to Reply

Kim Merryman Date: 8/2/2016 12:20:00 PM This is so sad, Sara. I hate the thought of innocent animals being killed because no one wants them. Your poem expresses that sadness well. Blessings! Login to Reply

Daniel Turner Date: 8/2/2016 11:12:00 AM Very sad Mrs Sara. I'm not a cat person but I don't believe in killing animals either. I really like the fact the are raising awareness to the plight of helpless animals.
