A humorous poem about an unusual and fierce Hurricane Katrina rescue cat.
Drawing by Denny Lyon Copyright 2008 |
Black Queen Guardian
fast furious jumps a tiny
dark dot
circles, sniffs, declares herself content
the patio chair owned in the moment
her growl:
loud, fierce, frightening
front claws ripped out when young
tiny but fearless, intimidating
Hurricane Katrina kicked her homeless
disoriented
desperate
downtrodden, nearly dead
warrior kitty found her way to me
wild, slow to trust again
she intensely adopted me
restored to health after two years
The Guardian Queen lives well now
warrior kitty guards me fiercely
warrior kitty patrols the yard
warrior kitty secures the house
The Guardian Queen rules
warrior kitty has three thrones
I'm well loved
