Black Magic

                          Soft as mist,
                       slowly advancing 
                     in shadowy silence,
                 sure-footed, steady, she
          searches me with steadfast eyes,
       sparked, it seems, by latent lightning,
     smoldering still with sultry enchantment,
    she stealthily leaps now to my lap, sitting
   sweetly, safeguarding unfathomable secrets.

John Michaels November 26, 2023 at 4:51 AM Came for the alliteration, stayed for the imagery, taking away thoughts of what secrets the magical kitty may be keeping! A lovely piece, Carol. Regards, John. Carol Mays November 26, 2023 at 5:54 AM John, Thank you so much for your thoughtful comments. And because you responded so quickly, and I saw that the first line of the poem was not aligned correctly, I was able to go right in and fix it, hopefully before many people saw it. Appreciate your help.

Connie Marcum Wong February 9, 2018 at 3:57 PM This lovely poem makes me so lonesome for our kitty who passed away. There is nothing quite as lovely as a kitty's love or the sound of their wellcome purr. : ) Carol Mays February 9, 2018 at 10:22 PM Oh, I'm sorry. Yes, I tell my sweetie every day how much I love her, and she starts purring whenever I say it.

Kelly Deschler December 24, 2017 at 2:44 PM A beautifully descriptive poem, Carol... and she reminds me of my cat, who isn't black but a very dark gray color :) ...And also while I'm here, I would like to say Merry Christmas to you and I wish you all the best for the New Year! Carol Mays December 25, 2017 at 7:54 PM Thanks, Kelly. Merry Christmas and a great new year to you, too.

Debbie Duncan December 12, 2017 at 2:21 PM Is this a black kitty :) Carol Mays December 12, 2017 at 10:28 PM Well, that's what we say she is, but she's so much more . . .
