Cats Are Cats poems compiled by Nancy Larrick, drawings by Ed Young

Pictures of Cats

Examining the breeze.
A package neatly wrapped with tail
Flicks a whisker
Pleased.

Upon the stair.
Taking the air.
Unquestioned owner
Of the comfortable chair.

Napping everywhere
Stretched in the sun
As if the sun were hers
Awash in warmth
And furs.

The flow of a cat walking
Over the lawn
To place herself like a soft stone
In the middle of the paper
I am working on.

-Karla Kuskin
