The Ailurophile Child

THE AILUROPHILE CHILD angels glimpse spryness of mirthful eyes and volcanic cheeks as puffy snowballs leap about chatoyant eyes glide side to side halcyon hands stroke chalkboard hue erasing frenetic world prowling paws stir snippets of serenity beautiful dreams shyness sheltered in nuzzled fur ~ sadness scurries ~ purr of laconic loneliness of an only child Kim Rodrigues © 2017

I'm not lonely, but thanks. My grandson misses his black kitten, Mohawk!

Maybe it's me and just my state of mind today but this poem felt lonely to me. It was wonderfully written Kim and I loved the adventure it took my mind on, but still, there is a loneliness or a longing to this...at least to me. Nicely done my friend

I'm glad you saw the varying emotions. Kittens, cats can be such a comfort. This is not directly about my grandson, but was written with the thought of his love for cat, and I mean love! When his family moved in with us he had to give away his kitten. I'm allergic. I do love kittens though.
