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.
