Motive
by David Ackley
For example, the cat
black, with a bitter incidence
of white, casting at the feeder for a stray
fall of jay, barking high limbed above
the seed pelted snow, is there
—plumply attended in all needs—
not in want but wont.

Like.
What a wound-up-spring! Love the sound of "bitter incidence" and the word play throughout.
Love the use of 'wont'. Excellent, David.
Nice! *
Just like our back yard, only there's no snow.

Thanks all for the generous comments.
After reading this I'm not sure why I bother. Just so ... everything really. x
For example. *
Yeah. I love the rhythm of this.*
Fun. Thank you.
Savvy and vivid. Terrific ending. *
And a redundant, but entirely meant thanks, to you who've recently commented.
Wonderful little gem of a poem. Nice work
