Kim Rodrigues Poet Free verse

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

Darren White February 18, 2017 at 9:52 AM That is a new word for me, Kim, and I love new words.... I am sorry about that loneliness.. Kim Rodrigues February 18, 2017 at 10:35 AM I'm not lonely, but thanks. My grandson misses his black kitten, Mohawk!

Chris Green February 17, 2017 at 5:32 PM 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 Kim Rodrigues February 17, 2017 at 5:46 PM 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.
