ALLEY CAT (Monday Poem)

by Esther Valck Georges


A bit of jungle in the street
He goes on velvet toes,
And slinking through the shadows, stalks
Imaginary foes.



from The Beauty of the Beast: Poems from the Animal Kingdom, selected by Jack Prelutsky, illustrated by Meilo So, 1997, Alfred A. Knopf, Inc.
