Milo


What are you doing, little creature,

with your tiny, furry paws

and wide, shining eyes

full of bright energy?

 

With your tiny, furry paws,

you swat at the tassels,

full of bright energy,

and climb the curtains like trees.

 

You swat at the tassels

on the living room pillows

and climb the curtains like trees.

Everything is an adventure.

 

On the living room pillows,

ears and feet twtiching--

everything is an adventure--

chasing moths even in your sleep.

 

Ears pricked, tail twitching,

you wait behind the sofa to strike.

Chasing moths even in your sleep,

no bug is safe here.

 

You wait behind the sofa to strike,

my tiny tabby tiger;

no bug is safe here

from you, the cutest hunter.

Hello! Usually I'm more of a prose person than a poetry person, but I try my hand at verse now and again. If you're interested, check out my website, merielena.com. In the meantime, you might be interested to know that I love biology and horror, and Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Yep, that pretty much summarizes my life.
