THE CATS AMONG THE PIGEONS

THE CATS AMONG THE PIGEONS

THE BELLS WILL RING 
THE CHILDREN WILL 
SING THERE CHRISTMAS
CAROLS AND THE PRIEST
WILL SAY THEIR PRAYERS

IN THE SQUARE WHERE
THE CATS AND THE PIGEONS
PLAY THERE SILLY GAMES,

ON CHILLY NIGHTS WHEN
THE WIND BLOWS THE 
LEAVES FROM THE EAVES
FROM THE CHURCH WHERE
THE PIGEONS PERCH

IN THE SQUARE THE CRISTMAS
TREE LIGHTS UP THE NIGHT 
OH WHAT SIGHT

AND THE CATS
AND THE PIGEONS PLAY 
THERE SILLY GAMES.

FROM THE FLAMES OF THE 
CANDLES IN THE CHURCH
 
WHERE THE PIGEONS 
PERCH WHERE THE 
CATS WILL LURCH OUT
AT THE PIGEONS IN FUN

THE CATS AMONG THE PIGEONS,

Hi Greg, I think your imagery just gets better and better. This has a lot of atmosphere to it. You convey an eerie scene that could even be symbolic in its meaning. Absolutely LOVE your poetry 
I think the use of capitalisation adds to the feel of this write really well

A standout write Greg and a real pearler of Christmas and foreboding scenery threaded throughout.
Great and bold imagery cleverly balanced and displayed a superb read and poem all in one.
Thanks Greg  for sharing and I wish you well.
Full respected honours as well and deserving.

I am not a big fan of pigeons myself but this poem came to me watching a Agatha Christie show and the name of the show was called the cats among the pigeons but it wasn’t about Cats and pigeons somebody
Somebody got murdered and I had to solve the case but I like the title
