Whiskers

 

I.  The Shadow Knows

 

Who knows what evil

lurks in the hearts of cats?

 

II.  Rottweiler

 

The feline

makes a beeline

for the treeline.

 

III.  The Fourteenth Way

of Looking at a Blackbird

 

I was of one mind

like a cat

stalking fourteen blackbirds.

 

IV.  A Tale of Two Kitties

 

He was the best of cats.

He was the worst of cats.
