The Doggone Homeless Kitten Got Me

i light a candle tonight i make cinnamon roll oatmeal the only company that i have is a homeless kitten i give her some milk we enjoy the quiet of the aging night we both need the calm and the slowdown i pet the homeless kitten it begins to purr like a child in perfect comfort i think about today's world and am glad to be quarantined for a bit we are unplugged with plugs, so i unplug everything the homeless kitten lets out a few kiddy meows i laugh at her attempts at expressionism tonight we hide from the world tomorrow we do more of the same the day after that it's back to it the homeless kitten stays though....until my friend comes to take her i will light another candle the next night i will make hone battered chicken tenders with ranch dressing the only company that i will have is a homeless kitten i give her some canned tuna we enjoy the quiet of out last night together

Hello Marty King, why not keep the little kitten? Instead of giving it to your friend? I am wondering. Enjoy your evening my friend.

My friend is a cat lover, and I prefer a dog. Thank you for reading this as well as my other poems. I really dig the few replies that I do get. KEEP WRITING!
