Love Poem: Kittens

Kittens

Of all the pets I crave to hold,
   are little kittens, shy or bold;
and whether black, light gray, or gold-
   placed in my arms- I fast enfold.

Their sweet meows are like a song;
   could listen to them all day long.
For they are gentle, never strong;
   I tend to want to mew along.

And oh, those paws- so soft and wide
   with light pink toes, neath fur to hide;
then all at once, so gently slide
   upon my cheek with love applied.

But, best is how their eyes are seen-
   no matter if they're blue or green,
some others- gold, or in between;
   my heart is captured- quite unseen.

Of all the pets I crave to love
   that fit my lap just like a glove;
sleep at my feet or head above-
   sweet, darling kittens are beloved.
