Jessie by Adam Rutter

Jessie, a peaceful cat

Sleeps soundly

When awake, she purrs loudly

She jumps between furniture

Like a gymnast

With a big leap,

She moves fast

Her emerald-green eyes look calm

She licks my nose, licks my palm

Climbs onto the window ledge

Meows to come in

Chases the string sliding across the floor

Crawls through the hedge next door

Jessie sleeps on the lawn

When she awakes,

She has a big yawn

She sleeps on Mum’s lap

After nuzzling,

She takes a nap

Her tail wags and rises

When she wants to go outside

The window opens

Birds flee and hide

Jessie stays in the garden

The home, it’s her den

Jessie, a peaceful cat

So restful

She falls asleep on the mat

She seems to live the ideal cat-life!

Jessie is a good cat. She is loving, loyal and very well behaved.

A nice poem, Adam; I like the way it's laid out, gradually dispensing information.

You have caught the essence of 'cat' Adam, I recognise Jessie's behaviour so well- a beautiful poem.
