The Cat in the Window: a micro poem

The Cat in the Window

The cat in the window
looksโ€”
and sitting,
sat,
on the sill
it sees
all

โ€”Lesley Scoble, October 2026
This image shows a fluffy cat sitting in a half opened window where it can see both outside and inside the room. Its tail is hanging down the window sill. Outside the window, the scene is foggy and nothing is visible.

I wrote The Cat in the Window to Sadjeโ€™s photo prompt. 
Thank you, Sadje for inspiring this poem.

Featured sketch: I sketched the featured image from Kim Magnoโ€™s photograph. My thanks to the photographer.
And my special thanks to you, the reader, for spending this time with me.

I snapped this photo of a cat in a window while on a walk in Brighton, Sussex.

Photograph of a striped cat sitting indoors behind a window, looking out through the glass. Reflections of a parked silver car appear on the window, while a bright turquoise-blue exterior wall and white window frame surround the scene.
