A Life of Hard Knocks

She came in a box, frightened and unsure of her world; her life full of hard knocks, as a kit' taken to the woods and hurled. And a farmer saved her from an attack by hawks, from there she found a home in a large city house; but was alone except for clocks, with no food 'till late evenings not even a mouse. She wandered the dark, rooms and cried for her dead mother; could see a lush green park, and so wished for her sisters and brother. Then, one day they threw her in a box so scary, later a girl opened the box and reached in, but kitty was very wary; this is your home said the girl- gosh you are thin! "And this is the story, of how Snuggles kitty came to me; the very first day she ate my morning glory, but, we two were always meant to be." ________________________ June 14, 2020 Poetry/Rhyme/A Life of Hard Knocks Copyright Protected, ID 20-1260-294-03 All Rights Reserved, 2020, Constance La France Written for the Premier contest, Non Human sponsor, Chantelle Anne Cooke Third Place
