Who Dines This Night

Snow swirling in winter air
birds take to crabapple tree in limbs
shaking the fruit everywhere

Red now spread upon blanket of white
still none view the snowcat in sight
carefully she creeps through that blanket of white

Yet her purr becomes disturbing this night
Just in time -- the birds take flight
Whilst bidding the snowcat a hearty -- Good-Bye

The Night Images In This Poem Is Stunning! (I've Always Loved Winter Scenes) The Storyline is Riviting In Suspense, as The Snowcat's Soft Paw-Pads, Creep slowly Forward ... But Poor Kitty, Didn't Get To Dine That Night ... Good One Adell ... MoonBee (And Thank You For Your Wonderful Comments On My Writes - Always, Much Appreciated ... MoonBee

'Snowcat'...I love that description! Also the 'red on white' comparison...I assume it was a housecat or a stray-cat?...They are very efficient hunters!...The birds were lucky! Great write! - Tim
