Nette Onclaud Poet Tanka

Tricky

TRICKY
^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^



her sleek form sashays
gliding on patio with grace,
tricky eyes aglow
with savvy feline cunning…
she clutches prized dinner’s prey.

•	
•	

time for sneaky play
a sneer, a squeak, and a splash!
woolen yarns unfurl 
meshing our catty faces...
shrewd moon laughs at naughty games
