Sunny, My Pet Kitten

Folder: 
Animals

This tiny creature

Finds comfort in my lap:

Coiling, sleeping.

So sweet, so precious;

She’s my loyal companion.



This lovely creature

Never complains, never fusses.

She knows how to appreciate

The love and spoiling she gets,

Her instinct would have known.



This beautiful creature,

Oh, how much I adore her!

She loves to be pat,

To be kissed and to be cuddled;

She’s warm and besotting.



This pretty creature

So meek and lovable;

She’s playful and full of tricks.

Harmless and fun to be with;

She’s the baby of our baby.



This cute creature

Was a happy playmate

To three cheeky siblings,

Whom I have to give away;

She is sad and so is me.



This tiny creature

Is my new bundle of joy.

She fills my empty nest

With happy purrs, I welcome in time.

She’s my pet, my sunshine and my friend.

Author's Notes/Comments: 

~Sunny is the sweetest amongst the four kittens we have. They were born a day after my 57th birthday, a timely perfect birthday gift. I hate to give away the three, but I couldn’t afford to keep them all, I really wish I could. My heart was broken to see them go. I gave them to the Pet Shop and they besotted the people too that they were the first to go. They were gentle kittens and well looked after, and strongly bonded. I went to see them and they cried for me to get them out. The following day, they were gone.

What a beautiful poem, but your Author's Comments about giving the kittens away, them crying for you, and then the next day them being gone, was so sad and upsetting, not just for you but for me to read.
I LOVE cats and kittens myself, and have two cats who are the loves of my life (aswell as my Girlfriend!).
You may be interested to read my poem about my cat(s), called 'My Pet', which can be found on my page - but beware, other poems on my page MAY offend if you're not approving of BDSM, lesbianism and/or (ex-) Heroin addiction, tho you don't have to read those ones and even if you did you sound open-minded enough not to object to them.
Hope you and your cat(s) (and your ex-kittens) are all doing well, take care,

I hope you are still around Alisha. Sorry for being away so long! I appreciate your input.
