I’m an unwitting symbol of fear
just on Halloween night every year.
I’m a pet, someone’s lovely black cat--
not a goblin, a ghoul, or a bat!

Hello Janice … still often hear the adage that a black cat walked across in front me and that superstition is powerful to some these days - thank you Janice - Lindsay
