My Poetry

Now a happy one

Now a happy one

There's a dark shadow in my room and it moves
every time I do.
Its two eyes blink and my heart stops, meow
it squeaks out.
grabbing paws full of blanket as I watch in quiet amazement.
A shadowed vibrato warms my ears as I scoop it up in my arms.
Who knew you could pick up fallen angels at a shelter.
My shadow.
My three am wake up call, my reason for waking up
Earth side.
