kitty litter


there once roamed a fine feline pack

who desired royal avian snack:

“let’s pounce on low crows,

 tasty drumsticks dispose

but the feathers we’ll gladly give back!”


cartoon by Louis Wain

Poetry prompt with Melissa at dVerse to write on Wain’s cat cartoons without using word, “cat”.

consider avian plumage

 

feathers on exhibit — both functional AND decorative:

zipper lock system

preen produced oil

soft, downy underside

light, hollow quill

artistic color scheme

gender specific patterns

birder’s beautiful quest

song’s textured flight

 

 

time’s random chance

or designer’s signature?
