Safe Haven

All year long
deer and rabbit, and
a persistent Blue Jay
find shelter and food
under the trees
at Dobbs' Domain
And now, a stray
gray cat sits
outside the door
under the eave
waiting her turn
for a bowl of
milk, and pet
behind the ear

















Will she go? Or will she stay ?

  1. She looks pretty and well cared for. Someone must be missing her. Good luck.

  2. Lizzie B., I hope you're right. Unless someone just dropped her off way out here in the woods..
