The Provider

The Provider

A Poem by catwriter
"

I did feral cat/kitten rescue for over 2 decades. My husband and I saved thousands with trap/neuter/return. Homelessness is NOT a crime but rather a crime against helpless animals.

"
Who serves the kin of fang and claw
Until her name is sung
By unseen voices high and low
That trill with hope: she's come.
She helps us so, the feral croon,
Their ragged pelts caught by the moon.
She keeps us well and fed.
I haven't bred, but still I've led
My life as I was born.
While wild things sing, Provider slings
The burden of their pain
Into the bowls she drops, then walks
The midnight streets they stalk.

This is such a wonderful and creative piece of poetry. Yes I must admit some bias being a cat lover but still this was a joy to read. And kudos to you doing such vital work for their behalf. Keep on writing and sharing your art with words.
