Cecelia Hopkins-Drewer Poet Verse

Christmas Pets

Three kittens looking so perky,
Appealing eyes of slanted green,
The cats cadge a serve of protein,
As I eat my sandwich of turkey.

Surrounding my chair so smirky,
Their longing looks soon seen,
I throw meat from the tureen,
On an impulse quite quirky!

Three kittens looking so perky,
Appealing eyes of slanted green,
The cats cadge a serve of protein,
As I eat my sandwich of turkey.

Satisfied purrs rise over jerky,
Pleased with what they glean
The kitties lick the plate clean;
Then sleep noon till eve murky.

Three kittens looking so perky,
Appealing eyes of slanted green,
The cats cadge a serve of protein,
As I eat my sandwich of turkey.

Caren Krutsinger December 28, 2018 at 9:06 AM I liked the cadence of this, it had a fun rhythm almost like a song. I could picture it, and felt like I was the one throwing the meat. You have portrayed a sweet scene, and it is heart-felt.
