Shadow Cats

An elderly couple walks up the street on their way home. Each

A carrier bag in hand,

Their streetlight-cast shadows cast against the kerb

Look like two cats strolling in tandem; curbed

Until their invisible leashes strung out from the street lamps

At last peel them away into the dusk-gathering gloom,

A mere sinuous smear left on the tarred street...

...Before they reach the next inter-lamp la grange-like point

And the shadow cats, again,

Creep up from behind.

Poetry, maybe

Insulting scansion, euphony, rhyme and meter,
Beware the words of the poetaster.
If these words do not deter,
Then try rhyming with aster astir.
And should you stay the course, become a reader,
Then, blog help you, I am your master.

- "My words fly up, my thoughts remain below:
Words without thoughts never to heaven go."
