#QueerBlogWed: Paula's Prompt

On January 9, 2019, P.T. Wyant posted at ptwyant.com as her Wednesday Words prompt a cat, a whisper, and a single snowflake.

This poem was the result...

The cat mews and scratches the window
Watching a single snowflake fall
No one else can hear the whisper
The tiny pixie hidden in the icy lace
Dancing, teasing as she drifts down
Doesn’t she know this is the cat’s window? 
Still the impertinent winged creature alights on the sill
Shaking off her wings with a delicate arrogance
She’d be such easy prey
If only this barrier of glass didn’t lie between them
All the cat can do is let out a disillusioned yowl

As the little pixie scurries away.
