LITTLE CAT
Silent In a cage,
No blanket for a bed
The little kitten
Laid by its food
The lights in the building
Lit up above the cage
The sweet little Cat
Asleep and alone
A man quietly came in
The poor little kitty woke
The man approached and
The kitten spoke
The man held the kitten
And the kitten was happy
The man said, I want this
One and he waited
The people behind the counter
After a delay said no
The man left broken hearted
And the little cat sadly stayed
Will that little critter ever
Have a happy home
Or will it have to
sleep forever?

Ok, I might as well admit, it's not the first one I thought of entering into this contest, but it is perhaps the one that's less liable to get misunderstood. I have always liked animals, and been a cat person. Mr. Cat.

Thank you for entering the contest!!!
I enjoyed reading about your little adventure in the pet store. As it turned out, it was pretty sad. I wondered why they wouldn't let the cat go to a good home... Your creative poem is an ode of love and compassion, straight from your tender heart. Thank you for sharing. I wish you all the best!!! Peace, Cyn
