That cat calls round no more.
Grey back, angry arc, with
eyes for trouble.

One syllable short of being a haiku, but then maybe I off counted...anyway-- interesting snipet that leaves all sort of images in the mind.. yep, Halloween will soon be upon us however this write is not confined to a specific time/season of year. I like it..L |

A mini-mystery.....with the poet unforthcoming.....just puts it on the table and leaves it for the readers to mull over.
A tasty morsel.....and provocative.

Hi Lora,
No, your right. But I was not aiming to write a Haiku, I will leave that to the experts such as yourself.
I wrote this as I was thinking about a cat that used to call round at our house to torment our recently deceased dog Lucy. For some reason she was terrified of it. Even though it was a small cat, it seemed to take great pleasure in pestering the poor dog. Well the day after Lucy passed away it came sniffing around, saw that Lucy was gone, and has never returned since then.

I don't know why that is.......Jim
The Lucy And The Stray story is a wonderful and true theme.......why lose it to a short vaguery.....a three liner with no legs.......carrying a hidden but super theme????
