Kitten Charms


Kitten charms
     sweetest gift
          in your arms

Fluffy fur
     twinkling eyes
          mews and purrs

Hide and seek
     'neath the couch
          gold eyes peak

Chases wand
     bats the toy
          quick respond

Paws squirm neath
     the closed door
          priceless feat

Climbs the drapes
     scolded down
          runs, escapes

Under chair
     hides and sulks
          with blank stare

Hears some noise
     food in bowl
          smells the joys

With meow
     runs to eat
          happy now

Nighttime treat
     jumps on bed
          warms your feet.
