The Performers


The Performers

Butterflies dance sun-drenched drunk
amongst Marigolds, Lavender, and Violets,
ignore puppies in clown-like pursuit.

Kitty's tail twitches as she regally sits
upon windowsill, a ringmistress of sorts
watches performers spin, tumble and soar...

green eyes plotting a Houdini-style escape.

    Love it.. Cat's no when to appear, when to exit, and when to ruffle tails.

    the puppy act, for sure~

    This is a nice read, Margaret. The cat knows the script and will make sure all goes right. Conduct as needed.
