Andrea Dietrich Poet Triolet

My Midnight Valentine - Slight Revision

She comes to me on four small feet
which softly on my blankets tread.
So beautiful is she, so sweet;
she comes to me on four small feet, 
then reaches out her paw to greet
me as I waken in my bed!
She comes to me on four small feet
which softly on my blankets tread.

Like silken midnight is her fur.
A black cat is my valentine.
It soothes me to be petting her!
Like silken midnight is her fur;
a dulcet lullabye's her purr!
This green eyed beauty is all mine.
Like silken midnight is her fur.
A black cat is my valentine.

Carole Duet January 29, 2019 at 7:36 PM I love this, Andrea. Black cats get such a bad "rap" and yet they purr and love us just as much as any other kitty. Great little poem...as usual. :D

Janet Bingham January 29, 2019 at 12:02 AM I love this poem. I love cats. I love the way you put the poem together in rhyme and also the way you showed me how much you love your cat. The description of the cat and you I found wonderful. Janet Marie Bingham

Alexis Y. January 28, 2019 at 7:51 PM Hi Andrea, Nice spin on the " Midnight Valentine " contest. I prefer dogs but I enjoyed this piece. I wish you the best of luck in the contest:-) Alexis

Caren Krutsinger January 28, 2019 at 7:06 PM Your valentine sounds beautiful! I used to have a green-eyed cat named Tommy who learned to make a cry that sounded like "Mommy!" when he was outside and wanted me to open the door and let him in. Good luck in the contest. This triggered Tommy's memory to me. I had not thought of him for a long time!
