The Sacred Meow Society

The Scared Meow Society meets Nightly in the alley behind my house. They rifle through the trash to gather treats Because they have long since chased off each mouse. They gather in secret, or so they think. All are aware of their presence, in truth. We leave them alone with a knowing wink, Avoiding their hiss, their claw and sharp tooth. Unearthly noises! Each cat must be heard! All with opinions are willing to fight! Outsiders might think it all sounds absurd, These feline debates that last through the night. Dawn, at last, rises and all member flee Of the Sacred Meow Society. 2/22/2023 Written for the Sacred Meow Society poetry contest Sponsored by Mystic Rose Rose
