The Shadows On Halloween Night

One black cat with green eyes,
His black fur, he can't disguise.
In darkness, he see's you through,
but a black cat, he's no fool!

On a dark Halloween night,
Beware of his scratches and may bite.
His negative magic, may cross your path too,
but don't be afraid, he won't follow you!

Happy Halloween, to a night of tricks or treats,
and a purr-fect night, a black cat who leaps!
With ghosts and goblins, who comes out too,
In the dark disgusting shadows, "BOO-hoo"!

We usually give handouts on Halloween night, but some of the children pass us up. Reason? We have porch cats, three black and two tiger. The kids might think we're evil, the black cats evil. Truth is the black cats are sweethearts, the tigers are aggressive. I love kitty poetry. Congrats on the selection. daver

"Purr-fectly beautiful black cats are charming & unique". I have a black and white on him, and he is "special. Why? His unique poses on photography makes him cute! Glad your interest is kitty poetry. Thanks!

‡ I Am Not Certain If I Was More So Scared Then I Was Enchanted By The Loveliness I Found Amid This Wonderful Halloween's, Spooky Pooh Poe, LOL. Tis Sometimes Difficult To Become Engrossed When Such A Beautiful Soft Voice Is Reciting Their Verse, Sweet Beautiful Yolaine. If I Were That Stray Black Cat Then, I Would Definitely Be Hanging Around Your Precious Heart's Door, Meoooowww, LOL. Congratulations Upon This Extremely Beautiful Poems Feature Here At Poetry Soup. Sweet Kisses, Rachel ‡

It's my original work! Thanks for comments but please "No Flirtatious words" when making comments!!! Stricktly, write words about my poem, not words of descriptive actions towards flirting!! I wouldn't want anyone hanging around my door or sending kisses!!! Just a penned write as thoughts in my poem!!!
