...poetry reduced to the counting of syllables

the caged tiger

a restless presence
barely contained behind bars--
the tiger paces.

where's the cat?

insistent scratching,
muffled meows plead for help.
...locked in the closet.

c shift

the dogs are asleep.
meows echo through the house.
nocturnal cats prowl.

the mouse

shiny black pebbles
peer, straining not to be seen.
a cat's tail twitches.

warm and happy

subsonic rumble--
puddle of black fur purring
on the heating grate.
