missing

 

 

 

she gladly checked the garden shed

behind every naked shrub

small hands grasped tightly

to the photocopied sheet of paper

found curled in the front door

 

 

         missing

 

        grey tabby, fourteen years old

        wearing a collar with red tag

 

        name: rocky

 

        an indoor cat, declawed and very friendly

 

 

 

she stops

 

the words she knows already deciphered

holds one pink croc in hand

one on foot

sliding glass door slightly ajar

 

 

he's friendly

 

 

she announces

 

 

and that's all that matters

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

.

 

Author notes

she really wanted to find that cat...

    this breaks my heart, the poetry of life. the views of children are always so innocent and unique.
