Max Tries to Make a Friend


Max sits, staring at the backdoor screen.
She walks, step-step, step-step, closer to the doorway,
eyes never wavering from
the silhouette of a newly-hatched basilisk lizard
clinging to the screen.

Slowly, gently, she reaches out her paw, touches the screen.
In an instant, the tiny basilisk leaps away, disappearing off the deck.

Max sits, staring at the backdoor screen, 
           waiting for her friend to return.

  1. Thank you for your visit to my snowdrop scene! What a beautiful piece: Max must be feeling proud, and I hope the lizard is OK!

  3. Glad she didn't catch the lizard. That is a great shot--typical cat. Interesting that you live in Belize--we went there a few years ago and had a great time.
