Each time I get ready to go for a car ride <br />I glance next door to an upper window <br />Sometimes it appears that no one is inside <br />On a neighborly day… it fills with a glow <br /> <br />Today a cat is on the sill with a musing stare <br />In a stately pose of repose like a sphinx <br />Sitting motionlessly… yet very much aware <br />Surveying me... I wonder what he thinks <br /> <br />His large green eyes are expression resistant <br />Warmth radiates from his striped orange fur <br />Solid clear transparency keeps us distant… <br />I would love to pet him now and hear his purr <br /> <br />A smile forms on my face in a telepathic way <br />With a turn of the key…the engine starts <br />I wonder what he'll do for the rest of the day <br />Will he remain by the open blinds after I depart <br /> <br />1/5/10<br /><br />Theresa Ann Moore<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/my-neighbor-s-cat/
