Looking out the window
with my kitten
during the night…

The house cat watches
the flitting sparrow, with a
chattering hunger
-J.W. Hackett

The door held for her
the cat stops on the threshold
and sniffs the jamb…
-J.W. Hackett

When finally caught,
the kitten’s tail is given
a real good licking
-J.W. Hackett
**
While being scolded
the old cat licks his shoulder
pretending not to hear…
-J.W. Hackett

A moment ago
the kitten was full of life
now how limp it lies
-J.W. Hackett
**
The kitten’s great yawn
goes all around the room…
and back again
-J.W. Hackett

Right in the middle
of the cat’s yawn-
a pink tongue

In a circle of thaw
the cat walks
round and round

spring evening-
playing with the last kitten
to be given away

home late:
the cat’s fur in patches
on her housecoat
– Michael Dudley

pacing
the shore
the ship’s cat
– Raymond Roseliep

only letting in the cat
until
the morning star
– Penny Harter

Opening its eyes
closing its eyes
a cat in the sun.

Following the smoke ring
out the window
the cat’s eye
– Arizona Zipper

After a hard rain,
a cat stops to shake a paw
before moving on.

Such a beautiful selection. Tom has a recent post on dogs too. For those of you who don’t know him Tom Clausen is a wonderful poet of short form poems. Check him out.
thank you Belinda for the kind comments and recommending my site to others… I need to work on the organization and format of how some of the poems ran together when I copied and pasted them… grateful for your stopping by!
