Chasing Whiskers

 Day-14 NaPoWriMo-2022

Prompt: To write a poem that takes the form of the opening scene of the movie of your life.


                                                              Ginu: my happiness index

10pm!
The camera zooms in
The scene is not clear
There is noise in the bushes
The main protagonist 
Is invisible in the semi-darkness
Some squeaking sound echoes
Lots of stunts and action 
The eye of the lens
Not in a position to catch 
Most of it
The tall breadfruit tree
Stands testimony
To the action scenes
The branches add
Special effects
To enhance and build the suspense 
Suddenly, a crescendo, some shuffling
A low bark, and then silence
In a few minutes
The main  character
Walks out from the bushes
Wagging and swagging
And drops her
Victory trophy at the feet.

  1. I love all the action in this poem. And the fact that your main character is your dog.
