In my dream, I was a lost kitten. Abandoned by some wealthy snobs that refused me because I was a stray. I was lost and alone, and I was scared. I meowed and cried...with heavy tears. When I say "In the alley of (Dark)" I mean, I have been there...with eyes closed.

in the alley of dark quietly I walked suspicious heard eerie howls of the winds voice wagging my tail cautious I purred and I ran away scared (a dream) Writing Challenge 2, May 2019, LIND68868 Poetry Contest Sponsored by Dear Heart 5-13-2019

Charlie, this is such an imaginative write, taking the cat's viewpoint, your pen his/her mouthpiece. Nicely done, and congrats on your win in the contest. Best wishes, Gershon

Darkness is sinister at times and so enveloping - poor kitty - needs someone kind to give it a home! Cute, sad and creative write Charles. Hugs, Jennifer.
