Charles Messina Poet Verse

Notes About The Poem

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

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)

Jennifer Proxenos May 20, 2019 at 1:18 PM 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.
