Hello Poetry Lovers
Yes, we’re back to my favourite subject – Cats.
Clever and talented poet Trisha Broomfield has written a beautiful nonet and tanka on our feline pals, and put over their personality with skill.
Thank you so much, Trisha. Please keep them coming. Read on to enjoy these clever pieces ;
Cat Nonet
Cat
slinking,

thinks unseen,
soft pads slowly
sinking into grass,
believes birds unaware

cat breathes, pausing, life on edge,
blackbird, alarm call, all awakes.
cat feigns nonchalance, silent spell breaks.

Cat Tanka
Cat wakes and stretches
a warm night spent on cushions

twitches his whiskers
long-limbed looks for birds to catch
up above blue tits hatch.
