The inevitability of rain hangs over Pandora
with sighs that release a deluge of weeping clouds.
Outside the window, blossoms push their whiteness
through the pear tree’s burgeoning leaves.
Water bedazzles its branches in shimmering droplets
refracting light into prisms of spring.
In the distance, mist hangs its vaporous cape
to obfuscate the edges of deciduous woods
where critters nuzzle off the edges of morning’s call,
and plants wiggle their way toward the seasons’ coming spoils.
From the barn, the feral cat howls her heat.
Aborting my poem, I phone the vet.

Thanks. I like it, too. The ending stumped me, until I heard BC (Barn Cat) howling her yearning.

Oh, a very unexpected ending for me! I hope the kitty is ok, and can howl a song of joy.

The kitty is fine. I want to catch her and get her spayed before she brings a litter of kittens into the world. We feed her, and she allows us to pet her from time to time, but we don’t want more here. Sigh. I first noticed her heat two days ago.

I am glad to hear she is alright! And no worries, I am pretty sure what she is attempting now is to catch you 🙂
