A Cat in a Graveyard

30 poems in 30 days challenge! Day 18

The green glass eye
Blinks once, blinks twice,
Blazing in the cloaked black night.

An arched-back plunge into the dark
It knows no fear,
That steely heart.

It whispers secrets
Painful and slow,
Its purr is an infernal roar!

Its vivid viciousness is seen,
It needs no witch or wizard to
Reward its dark and dirty deeds.

It stood upon the coffin door
And scratched away until its claw
Bruised and burned, and burdened down
It climbed into its own hell-hole.
