Notes About The Poem

Welcome Halloween

Sitting on a tree limb this dark night,

 in silhouette there is a cat of black

before a full and orange moon. No fright

have I.  She's there to welcome Halloween Eve back.

Black cats always seem so mysterious. Love the image you created of the cat and the photo you chose too. Best wishes in the contest! Hugs, Carolyn

Andrea, Very nice a fright-less write. I've seen a lot of moonlit cats. Seems many found inspiration in this picture two. -Richard

In answer to your question, I wrote my poem for a talented family member who is a musician. He deals with Anxiety and depression. Sadly he self medicates.
