Claws
It is not through the face
but the ears with which
a cat shows her mood.
Pointed forward with purr.
Pointed back with tail swish.
Eyes can go either way.
The beast in her is in her claws.

Robbie, thanks! And I think all cats, small and large, have this nature about them. You’ve seen the big cats and might know better than me on it.

Thanks, K. Since I didn’t write the poems as ekphrastics, sometimes it was challenging to find one that fit. Glad this one found a way to fit.
