Waterfall of rainswept leaves,
twisted tunnel of soaking trees;
furtive flight on fastidious paws
tiger cat with muddy claws.
An attack by treacherous thorn,
then expanse of soggy lawn,
risky desert of green to cross,
where lurks a big black tom,the boss.
A rush then a silence,very still,
she peers around, for good or ill,
whispers forward on quiet toes,
thrusting ears and twitching nose.
Reached the sanctuary,compost heap,
wide green eyes from there do peep,
toss of fur and tail to flash
streak of tabby in a dash.
Crash she's through the flap
now at home she'll have a nap;
after stressful trek,clean of fur
then licks herself and starts to purr.
