My cat stares blankly at the wall Trying to hunt the light. She flicks her tail and starts to crawl, Eyes focused, fur upright. I watch her, silently, as she creeps Slowly towards her prey. I remain still, as if fast asleep For this is not child's play. Her moving stops, she is ready To jump up and attack. I see her ascend, now unsteady I gasp and she looks back. Her eyes are chasms, black holes throughout, And my flashlight goes quickly out. What type of poem is this?
