Kittenish
Happy child with brand new kitten,
fully rapt, besotted, smitten.
Length of yarn a perfect toy
for kitten, pulled by playful boy.
Every toy another gimmick,
child on floor, a playful mimic.
Rolling over, willy-nilly,
feeling loving. Feeling silly.
All day long, antics and fun
in the house or in the sun.
Inside, outside, all the same.
With a kitten, life’s a game.
Sundown creates a sleepy-head
tucked under covers, snug in bed.
Mom and Dad survey the scene.
Gentle snores. Quiet. Serene.
Window open, curtains billow.
Kitten curled up on the pillow
nested in her master’s hair.
Two creatures in their common lair.
Fabulous imagery created when reading. You are simply the best.

Makes me want another kitten. But no, I’m rational. Perhaps just someone else’s to play with?

Must admit that when I see a kitten I feel like a kid. When I’m in the presence of one, I am a kid.
