Oliver After Dark
Savvy cat strolls outdoors
meeting and greeting the dogless walker
black fur polishes boots
purrs contentment
Be savvy, cat!
Coyote four-pack
loped this way last night

Sweet Planet Poems 
Your first of many I hope?
You’ve certainly captured the
imagination here and so let us
see more of your inventiveness
through the Magical Tones of
your Insight… Be well Monica
of Sweet Planet Poems…

Thank you all for your lovely comments. Cats seem to strike a responsive chord! I had never seen Oliver before, even though I have passed that way many times. I keep looking for him now. He lives near where I saw him – I checked his tag!
Oliver would make a great protagonist — so self-sufficient and soft, at the same time.
This is like a suspenseful prologue to a great tale of mystery woven against a backdrop of the domestic Oliver and the wild coyote – who is the dogless walker… 😀
A great 1st Cat poem… Monica, a true story here also! 🙂
Who me? like Cat poems…
Peace and Meow to you, and Oliver
Laz
That is one daring cat. lol
Really cool brief insight
I like this poem
I like the way you have written this Monica , it gives a brief imaginative image and leaves the mind open to ponder.

It is a good one, too.
We have them in the woods behind our house, and I occasionally see them in the yard at night, but we are catless.
Hi Monica , I simply loved Oliver : He sounds a cat i’d like to meet , I can just picture him on the prowl, # meow# 🙂 your 1st cat poem is purrfect . xPenx
