Three in One

 


My Pampered Pet curves
round my legs,
tail raised,
while the Predator
stalks her food,
crouching low over the bowl.
Sated, the Sleepyhead curls
around and round
on my favorite chair,
and dreams.

  5. I thought kitty when it curves around your legs. Dogs can't do that so perfectly. I'm a dog person. They're so much more straightforward, but I agree that cats are completely fascinating! This was a wonderful way to describe your much loved pet.

    1. But you write about Oz with such passion, fondness, and humor that you make it come alive, and that is a rare gift indeed!
