Small Cat Every Morning

Small cat goes every morning

to examine the tranquil garden:

around, behind, underneath the leaves,

down paths and into corners.

To examine the tranquil garden

needs close inspection, and takes time.

She returns often to my chair, for pats.

Around, behind, underneath the leaves

she may discover new gardenia buds

or lizards. She looks back at me, to say, 'See!'

Down paths and into corners

I watch her explore with nose and alert ears.

She likes to make sure it's safe for her and me.

A trimeric, the latest Poetic Asides challenge.
