A hungry cat
climbs a tree
for dinner
and learns
the birds can fly.

Lovely poem and fantastic imagery in this piece.

That pretty much says it, doesn't it?

Zoya: Thank you.

If: Thanks

Tumblewords: I'm very glad. I never know if I should play along with you guys since my poetry doesn't really fit in with what everybody else is doing.

Sandy: Seems like the money just flies away.

Write Girl: Thank you

Travis: It sure seems like it, most of the time.
