Sitting in the meadow
Out under the stars
He sits watching
Over the yards
Protecting all
From the pests
That roam the area
Looking for rodents to eat
Sitting under the moon
With nothing to do
But to stalk the yards
Looking for mice to chase
And windows to peep
Yowling in the alleys
Looking for love or a fight
But settling for the scraps
In the trashcan
Out all night
Prowling to his heart content
Only to come in and sleep all day

I loved this beautifully written feline adventure you've provided us with!! I love the thought and imagination you put into this!! Great work MC!
Your story sounds about right!😊💕 I had a house cat for 15 years because she was declawed she couldn't be out. I think it made her crabby! 😉
Nicely done. I like the pic too.
Awww, he's so adorableeeee! Loved your poem!
Very calming poem love it
Your poem indicates that you have strong observation for natural creatures. Because you crafted a well image of cat with nocturnal activities and at the end for sleeping all the day. I also have cat, and she is super active at night time. Each and every line of your poem is relatable natural and complete. I will add playing with some cockroaches too.
