Another Poem

Cat and Molly

The Cat tugged, chewed, pulled at the string
Molly playfully dangling, the string in the air
Rolling on his back, he clutched the string tightly
Pulling tight to his chest, with all his might and care
Molly pulled back tautly, then back with a snap
Cat bounded on all fours, as string freed from his grasp




























Molly now high, dangling string to the ground
Cat pounced and chased, as the string dangled around
Molly trailed the string, ‘snake like’ slithering round the floor
Cat watched eagle-eyed, while hiding behind the door
Crouching, tense, alert, Cat darted out, then pounced
Loud laugh from Molly as she circled in gleeful dance
