Cloud cats cautiously climbing, clever cats
Clomping carelessly, crashing ceramics cascading
Cat callers carolling, choruses causing concern
Cloud cats creeping, carefully crouching, critters caroming
Claws catching carpet, clumps coming clear
Colliding comrades clumsily careening, clowns
Cloud cats, chewy caramel charisma, coddled cuddly creatures

The Road to Nowhere
Trigger warnings: Violence, Death. "May the Sun burn your tongue out, woman," Fredrick's father screamed the curse into his mother's ear as their elegant little carriage rumbled along, its polished wood and gilded trim glinting in the torchlight. They had just left the small village of Saffron and were on an unnamed road to the capital for the Royal wedding. Fredrick leaned back in his plush velvet seat to escape into the passing landscape, but across from him sat the servant boy, a scrappy lad named Jack. Jack's eyes held a mixture of awe and fear, the kind that only a commoner could feel in the presence of nobility. Jack looked up and caught Fredrick's gaze, offering him a sad little smile before reaching into his pocket and retrieving a little caramel treat. This candy was no doubt stolen from the kitchen treat cupboard; if he was caught with it, he would be locked in the box as punishment.

That was a fun read!
This was such a great tautogram with beautiful imagery and wonderful flow to it! Great work Phill!
Hi Phil ~ I've been Flannery~Flattered - I'm so glad that you relate - This is a 'Cute-Cat-Tail-Tale.' By coincidence I've written a short on behalf of - Pet Haven Minnesota - "Rescue." The lovely Director is very much a Cat Person and names all of their Rescues. It feels terrific that so many 'Re-Home' connections were made through this humane organization with the exposure from a silly little (3) minute article! Power of the pen! *I've been looking up your 'Novel~Mabel'...Is it under another name/or publisher? Jay Kantor, Chatsworth, California 'Senior' Vocal Author -Vocal Author Community -
