CAT - a poem for National Poetry Day

It is National Poetry Day = And here you can read my contribution to the event - posted in memory of Kika,

KIKA                                                       

Cat sprawled boneless

on the softest chair -

scarcely breathing warmth

in a heap of silken fur -

the merest twitch

of tail or whisker

betraying a mouse-filled dream.

Your caressing hand
creeps in to borrow

some of that contentment

and its body lengthens

yielding a wanton belly.

You can lose all the tensions of a day

in the purr of a sleeping cat.
