cats long journey

cats long journey

miles of grassy plain
across buttes of sandstone
over wheat fields
windblown, haggard and worn
hunting field mice and bird
hunted by varmint and vermin
searching for home

one full moon
miles of coyote song
hiding under rock and stone
in moonlit shadows
frightened and alone

the cat treks home
on journey long
straggles in tangles
struggles upon porch steps
 home at last

(c) D.E. Clark

I can't imagine a cat out in the wild as I look at them as a companion that should be snuggled. Thank you for sharing Dale.

Newfie hugs, Rose

Love your poem, and you reminded me of a story I posted awhile back - Home For the Holidays.

Awwww, I could visualize the poor thing struggling and panting and being so content to have made it to saftey in the end, heartwarming words...

Be always safe,
Karen

Big cat or small, this has heroics and adventure painted in bold and striking image of colour all over it, Dale. I love the wild and interpid canvases you paint - even if it is only wee little kitty that has gone out foraging in the night! There's always such depth and scope of potential in your writes.

A cat's journey is never easy, as detailed in these vividly imaged lines. Well done, Dale.

(((HUGS))) and love, Karla.
