Raccoon Went a Wooing

R ascal with a twinkle in his dark-ringed eye
A morous feeling frisky under a full moon's light
C at strolled by- her voluptuous tail swishing to and fro
C oy glances by feline big blues
O vert flirting, then invited her to dine
O pulent feast of restaurant scraps made her swoon...
N uptials next - rascal raccoon carried her over the threshold of their new home.

How adorable, Carol! Love the way you describe the raccoon as carying her over the threshold! Great use of the acrostic form. Will I be getting an invitation to attend the nuptials? Superb write for Francine's contest. Wishing you success! Love, Carolyn
