Poem: Kitty Plays Houdini

I am a writer. My passion is poetry. I feel words connect people together and help us to understand the feelings we share.

Poem Summary

"Kitty Plays Houdini" is a poem I wrote when my thoughts were keeping me awake.

I knew I had to put my little Buddy ( my oldest cat) upstairs in a room where there's no heat since the last fiasco when I had workers here.

He's just too smart, for like Houdini, he can figure out his escape.

It’s the bewitching hour,
my thoughts keep me wide awake,
the alarm clock buzzing
way too early.

Thoughts lingering into the wee hours
planning how to coax my oldest cat paws
into the upstairs room
for his own safety.

He's like a tiger,
hiding in a kitten’s fur
playing Houdini,
when workers are in the house.
