A Feline Poet

The muse 
finally re-visited 
the clever cat.

He placed his claws 
on the keyboard 
and wrote a poem 
about chasing
birds & string
and catching
a mouse or two.

He wrote 
another poem
describing
vivid hallucinations 
experienced while 
under the influence 
of catnip.

He read the poems 
at a Zoom poetry meeting 
and the participants were 
amazed that a cat 
could write and read poetry.

He meowed that writing 
makes him purr 
and "the inked claw 
is mightier than the sword".
