Written 8/9/23 A children's poem

I have a cat whose name is Kitty, She's orange and white and very pretty. I like to pet my Kitty's fur, It makes me happy, maker her purr. Her fur is soft and fluffy, too. It sounds so cute when she goes "mew". She sleeps a lot but that's okay, When she wakes up it's time to play. Kitty likes to play with balls, She bats them around and into walls. Sometimes she likes to scratch a chair, But Mom gets mad, says "Don't you dare!" She'll chase a string and jump up high, I think she thinks that she can fly! At night when it's time for bed, She comes and lays down by my head. My Kitty is my bestest friend, And our friendship will never end. I love Kitty and she loves me, And that's the way it was meant to be.

I have a ginger cat but he is getting on in his years now. Your poem brought back memories of when he was a kitten. Enjoyed reading your poem Kim. Emilia : )

We both love cats. So I could relate so well to this poem written for a child…stunning work Kim, I like your poetry because it flows like flowing water and is not strained to me…neither extra beautiful (meaning ..using 10 syllable words to impress me or extra wit, like one liners by a poor stand up comic. It’s just you. Thank you. Note..I corrected by mistakes. Oy! Pangie

That's so sweet of you to say, Pangie! I'm not very good at not being myself. We have four cats and they run the house. Sometimes I think its them that own us and not the other way around. Thank you for commenting!
