The Cat’s Look: What?

Daily Note

Every day, a photograph, a poem. Today we glanced outside to see the neighbor’s cat napping in the empty bird bath. When she noticed us looking at her, she gave the typical nonchalant, innocent cat look of “What? Is something wrong? Did I miss something?” All cat owners know that look. And so. A poem.

What?

Walking out, check the yard—
Drag the hose from the shed
Hook it up, test it out
Pull it towards the bird bath-
Neighbor’s cat, curled within
Snuggled in empty bath—
Looks aside, seems to say,
“What?”
