I’m a cat

I’m a cat,

And I look outside a window.

I’m warm and safe,

inside here,

so I never go out there.

____________

I’m a cat,

And I look outside a window.

The green gazes at me,

Shines brightly,

So I wonder what it is.

____________

I’m a cat,

And I look outside a window.

I’m fed and fussed over,

loved forever,

but I cannot wander.

____________

I’m a cat,

So I stay indoors.

Meow and move

On wooden floors.

I’ll never smell a rose

Or get hurt by a lily.

I see flappy wings,

I’ll shred them to feathers;

I don’t know why?

For I’m a cat — it’s my nature.
