A Guided Poem from my Past

I would like to share with you a guided poem from my past. I wrote this in a class in high school. I don't know the year for sure, but I believe it to be around 1999.

House Cat…. (Guided Poem)

By: J.C. Headlee

Tiny, skinny, smooth little beast

The house is dark and silent

As it moves, it watches…bright yellow eyes

Tiny fury paws…all the while moving slowly.

Quietly, smoothly,

It sees its prey…just ahead…crouches…

POUNCE!! ! The animal springs and attacks it’s

meal, “Owww!” cries the woman who turns on

the lights. The once brave little beast now cowers

In the corner flooded with light.

“I was only playing,” thought the beast.
