White Cat

Listen to poem:
What of this pregnant white cat? Her dirty fur a smudge Against the snow's clean canvas, She mews at my door for milk. A stranger to me, she appeared Without express invitation. And now, she lingers, like a cold. This cat is an embarrassment. Like friends whom I feed Because I lack strength To turn them away.

That is the problem with stray cats; feed them once and they come back. But who could not feed a starving cat? A poem of strong images and of compassion. Nicely done.
