Day 55 prompt: spring

Sandy sleeps

dreaming

of catnip or

a goldfish freed

from its bowl

Shiver …

Sandy stirs

ears twitching

at a disturbance

I don’t even

see or hear

Stretch …

Sandy starts

suddenly upright

head near tail

her spine an

inverted U

Spring!

Sandy shoots

pink padded paws

to trap the cricket …

who didn’t stand

a chance

Swallow.
