Kitty Lou Poet Rhyme

My Friend the Moth

I had a friend, he was a moth
I kept him in a jar
Now and then I set him free
He never went that far

At summers end, I took the jar
And brought my moth inside
But when I went to set him free
He fluttered off to hide

I searched the house for that moth
Looking all around
I can’t imagine where he hid
And why he wasn’t found

All fall and winter I did look
I think it’s kind of weird
That my little mothy friend
Just up and disappeared

When spring came, I do admit
I was feeling better
Until my mother found the moth
Had eaten her best sweater!

CayCay Godwin March 22, 2018 at 6:35 PM AGAIN with sharp wit. Your writes exceed clever and are absolutely 'rhyme joys' to read. So glad I found you, Kitty! This one is also solidly, poetically told from beginning to end. Poetry hugs ... CayCay

Alexis Y. January 7, 2018 at 11:48 AM Hi Kitty, I enjoyed your "moth" tale. I loved the humor as well. I also read it to my son and he liked it too. I wrote a poem entitled the "Butterfly and the Moth" when you have the time you are more than welcome to read it. PS, I hope you had an awesome Christmas and your New Year is good so far:-) Alexis
