June 2010 Contest Winner: Gizmo is Missing

By on Sep 5, 2010 in Contest Winners, Contests

The lights are on at 3 am.
I’m wondering, wandering
up and down the halls
Gizmo is missing. He left
Tuesday afternoon – without direction.
Never been out of the house. A fat cat
content to sleep in the sun has
taken up residence in the rain.

Gizmo is missing. I’m
moving on Friday so the search is
frantic. Fliers, phone calls, all without
direction. Gizmo is missing. He left
Tuesday afternoon. I called
up and down empty streets.
The only response from a neighbor
who lost her cat to coyotes.

Up and down the halls, no fat cat
content to sleep in the sun. I’m
moving on Friday so the search is frantic.
Wondering, wandering but
Gizmo is still missing. He left Tuesday to a
neighbors who lost her cat to coyotes.
I stay up all night waiting, hoping he will see
the lights are on at 3 am.
