Dog’s Day

Silent like a creature of the night

Waiting, hungry, crouching

…tweet…tweet…tweet…

pouncing she flies, air rushing

SWOOSH!

The cage which served as home

Crash!

But the protector rushes

Pant, pant, pant

He glares at the predator and warns

Grrrrrrowl!!!

She dashes out the window

SWOOSH!

He scrambles to the catch

Scratch, scrape, thud, SWOOSH

The bird sings in joy
