– ‘Mute Appeal’ is Kesty’s journey to find a dog – Remy is her new rescue companion who inspired this poem :-

Dog Kills Cat

Snapped up in a chase.

Lengthy strides catch in a flash,

silent paws too slow.

Claw pierces dogs ear.

The cat clung on for dear life,

stolen in moments.

It was not gory,

just brutally quick, savage,

leaving me shaking.

Nature kills easy.
