Wild Hunger
by Dawn Richerson → (All Poetry by Dawn Richerson)
   Rated "G" by the Author.

The golden-haired cat paces,
looking like a malnourished lion,
lost and searching for his pride.


Shoulders forward, he is sprawled
atop the dining room table, his
yellow-green eyes purveying


carpeted plains stretched before him.
Four empty chairs surround him.
Outside, it is the rainy season.


Feisty feline mulls over missing
meal, helpmate he hasn’t found.
A low rumble rises from his belly.


His body stretches, claws extended
as the humble meow escapes, faint
echo of his hunger to be wild.

Fantastic capture of the "wild" that is inherent in all animals!
Wonderful captivating poem, Dawn!

His body stretches, claws extended
as the humble meow escapes, faint
echo of his hunger to be wild.

Sad. This is face of hunger but these three lines explain so much
