Cat
so soft
warm
lying
Oh so still
And yet
your
mind is
actively
tracking the noise
of your next
victim
A
tiny
little ant
crawling
slow
on the
floor

Author Notes
This poem is for my cat, Storm. Storm lived with us from 1995 until late 1999. He was a beautiful tuxedo with a very sweet disposition. He loved to hunt ants~
A Wave poem is written in such a way as to portray a series of ocean waves. This classic form uses short lines of less than eight syllables; the theme is usually a display of tranquility, or something calm from nature. Meter and rhyme are not utilized, but instead a changing syllable pattern is used to make the shape of the ocean waves.
The syllable pattern I chose to use is as follows:
1,2,1,2,3,2,1,2,3,4,3,2,1,2,3,2,1,2,1
My research shows that this is not the only pattern to be used; it all depends on the height and depth of waves you wish to portray.
