Cat Flyer – 20th November 2025

Reba Spike on Unsplash.

Who coaxed the cat to the sky?
Watched it fly away like that
Spectators wonder just why
Some rat did that to a cat

And now, how to coax it down?
As it floats around so free
So absurd that it could drown
Chasing birds out to the sea

Maybe meow a message
Learn how to coax a human
To shoot down this odd carriage
From reknown to solution!

Shared with dVerse Q236 (but not a quadrille) – coax and Melissa’s FFFC #347 image prompt above.

  1. Creative wordplay, Shaun, and I hope the cat lands safely.

    You’re right, it doesn’t fit the quadrille form, so please pare it down to 44 words, or possibly write a second poem that fits the 44 words. Maybe a Q that shows how the situation gets resolved?
