Pets by Ashley
 
Outside the window, children play. 
Paws click on the floor. 
Furry ears twitch. 
Lips draw back. 
Growl. 
Outside the window, children play. 
 
Inside the house, dishes clash. 
Scaly head lifts. 
Tongue flicks. 
Hiss. 
Inside the house, dishes clash. 
 
Out in the yard, a robin chirps. 
Whiskers twitch. 
Tail whips out and swishes. 
Balancing on the fence. 
Pounce. 
Out in the yard, a robin chirps.
