II. Reference
Compose a four-word poem (about a family member or a memory with loved ones, friends) or a five-word poem (about an animal, plant you adore).
Kitten
That playful little kitten
Climbing up to the roof
Extending its sharp claws
Pressing against the wall, listening.
The mouse sees this, very afraid
Hiding inside its den
Outside, the golden cat
Still relaxed, waiting patiently.
