One Kitten Tail at a Time

Missing image

 

 


 

Kittens, kittens everywhere
I just rock in my rocking chair
reminiscing over yesteryear
one kitten tail at a time.


 

“Meow, meow”, the melodies
echo through my empty chamber
that hold these fading memories
now fluffed in fur and bright cat eyes
rocking in my rocking chair.


 

Suddenly I fall asleep,
the trees begin to sway and creak
I open my eyes, my face is wet
kitten-kisses, I suspect.


 

They are hungry, I believe,
they way they come and paw and knead
pretending they’re affectionate.
Just one more moment, if you please!
Ill make my way to your feed
one kitten tail at a time!


 

This was such a simple read
me and kittens, idle we,
counting days going slowly by
one kitten tail at a time.


 

There's abernaith, plays in the shade
Almighty Aphrodite in moonbeams
Arabian Jewel, most sister-like
Cdn-Leopard with the biggest feet.


 

Jayda, my feline felicity
and our furry little one, Porcelain Doll
LadyOfFate, who purrs so deep
Luthien Luinwe, who adores them all.


 

Queen of DE-Nile, and Egyptian breed
rabidgnomes out in the snow
Random Lily, plays elegant
Sapphire, far away from home.


 

There are more, in groups of three
they seem to conspire under my feet.
I'm glad I'm with them, as I recline
one kitten tail at a time.


 

 


 

 


 

 

Author notes

I picked out little characteristics on several sister cats who I've interacted with, and also a few at random... hope you don't mind!

    thanks, Luthien, no, we never talked, but this contest did have a 'get to know' theme, and I couldn't pass up such a great name!

    I was a suprised when you mentioned me in your poem because I don't think I've talked to you before....or maybe I have....I forget but anyways you were still correct. I adore all cats. Anyways back to the poem the descriptions and imagery are wonderful. Great write, really. I enjoyed it. Good luck in the contest!

    Hello, suseann! This poem was restricted to the Sisterhood of Cats members... (I am a tomcat, of course!) If you're in a puppydog group, then you'll be covered! lol

    This is great. i love how the repitition works and how you catch the idea of their attention really being a way to get you to feed them. Excellent, good luck on contest. I also realluy liked kitten-kisses I suspect.

    Very cute write

    Very Very cute write Bro..I especially liked:

    They are hungry, I believe,
    they way they come and paw and knead
    pretending they’re affectionate.
    Just one more moment, if you please!
    Ill make my way to your feed
    one kitten tail at a time!
