The Cute Kittens (poetry)

The Cute Kittens

(What I tell in here did not actually happen. It's just a mind journey and a reflection of my love for cats and kittens.)

I walk along
A tree-lined street
I think I hear something
Or somebody
A sound like crying
Or squeaking?
Not sure exactly
I walk in the direction
I see a park
With many trees
Upon a bench
A cardboard box
Filled with squeaking
Filled with crying
I reach for the box
Fear racing through my blood
Fear that the box
Might be filled with injured creatures
The box is filled with kittens!
Uninjured as far as I can see
Meowing for their mother
The dear kitty they need
To mother them
Crying for kitten milk
Five sweet soft cute kittens
I must take them
I am being called upon
To become their spirit mom
Their wails of hunger
Are painful to my young heart
I must find them food
And so I take the box
Walk with it home
And begin my new life
With five cute kittens!

Hello, Kaya-Nita. I have a soft touch...there, I just admitted it.
Seriously, the cat/kitten is my favourite animal...yes, I prefer cats to humans although they're pretty close...
:lol:
Glad you liked this.

My daughter and I recently looked at a farm that was for sale and found a bunch of cute kittens just about weaned. Then we walked to the other side of the house and found -- another litter of kittens! Boy, was she enthralled. Is anything cuter than a kitten?

Very sweet.

Very cute, Green Druid. All baby things are sweet, aren't they. Guess it's nature's way of making us want to take care of them. Thanks for sharing.
