A Cat in the Rain - Poem for Cat Lovers
I have been writing poetry, fiction and short stories for many years and have completed a book of poems. I also enjoy comedy writing.
Rain poured
Windshield wipers soared
Potholes and splashes
Feet dashes
Umbrellas and coats
Floating paper boats
Tires screeches
An animal it reaches
Stunned by the high beam
Hypnotized in feline dream
Tonight this will not occur
No vehicular murder
Car door opens, then a quick slam
The cat meows, I somehow understand
Fur soaked in rain
But this will never happen again
Now the cat has a new home
To watch the rain by the windows.

Nice to see that poor wet feline rescued and given a new home. Like Flourish, I have six..all strays originating from strays.

What a lovely happily ever after story. I hope he was actually homeless. I have six cats, all ferals or strays from the neighborhood (we call them "volunteers").
