Cat and Butterfly

The cat sits and watches with curious eyes, As the butterfly flutters and gracefully flies. With paws poised and ears alert, The cat is ready to pounce and assert. The butterfly flits and dances in the air, Its wings a blur, without a care. Unaware of the cat's steady gaze, It flutters on in a hazy daze. The cat takes a leap, a sudden burst, But the butterfly is quick, it's not the first. It flutters on, just out of reach, The cat left with an unfulfilled breach. And so they go, in a playful chase, The cat and butterfly, in a dizzying space. One wants to pounce, the other to soar, A dance of nature, forevermore.
