The cat’s sibilant warning
like a snake: fair notice
triggers reflex / perception
some 6th sense, shared tele—
kinetic wavelength? Or
strict visual awareness without
our observation . . . completely
instinctual protections
Word prompt: sibilant, by Sammi’s Weekend Writing Prompt 271 , via Bill at Our Literary Journey
My chosen title, “Second sight” could aptly describe what might be the completely scientific explanation (an extension of our sense of sight) for the paranormal “sixth sense” beyond our 5 known senses of touch, sight, smell, taste, and hearing. However, the phrase is distinctly connected to the idea of an often divine, often occult, supernatural 6th sense.
Thanks for reading 😀

Ooooh, a fun post, indeed. I especially love those first two lines, of cats sounding like snakes when they give their warnings to others. And they do seem to have a magical way of sensing unusual things afoot.

Hehe. The whole piece has been crafted expertly, and I love that you paired it with that photo. Apparently, we’re supposed to have a supermoon on the 12th of this month. ^_^

Thanks so much. I’m reading about the super-moon now: name pegged not so long ago, but I’d like to find some material on historical references to the occurrence
