SKETCHING  POETRY

 

Words:

 

comfort, winter, cat, sun, fern,

gold, rug, goddess, fire, love

 

 

Cat stretches on the rug.

The shadow of a fern caresses her as

she basks in the winter sun that streams

through the window of the porch.

Fur gleams like molten gold.

She rises, a miniature Bastet,

goddess of love, and moves

to stand, silent, posed

within a halo of fire.
