False Alarm
Purr and Yowl: An Anthology of Poetry About Cats, December 2023 https://www.amazon.c ... 1936657937
The intruder broke security
in the dead of night.
The honking cacophony
alerted geese in southern flight
who looked below with watchful eye,
but seeing no brethren in distress,
added to the melody with raucous noisiness.
We woke and peered through window shades
leery of seeing the aftermath.
There, on the top of our honking car,
sat our very own cat taking his bath.
