Wildcat Scratch by Gerry Stewart ‘Touch not the cat without the glove.’ My scowl should warn you,I’m not your typical tabby.Brows knitted, blunt is my nature. Even alone,I am a glaring of cat. Exposed in the twilightfar from cairn or den,my hackles riseat your approach. Do not seek me out.Though I once purred,my voice has mutedto only spit and sting. You can try and tame me,only I will walk awayunscathed. About the Author Gerry Stewart is a poet, creative writing tutor and editor based in Finland.
