To a Black Cat
Original short poem. I was working on this before Luka got adopted. It got stalled out in my brain for a little bit but now it's finished. I love him even though he isn't here anymore. His new family reports he is very happy and they love him as well.
To a Black Cat
Paul Klusman
Twinkle twinkle little black
Panther in my home
How you shine in morning’s light
Where the sunbeams roam
Twinkle twinkle coiled spring
My ankles catch your eye
Waiting for attack
As I'm walking by
Twinkle twinkle twelve o’clock
At the window sill
Your steely eyes watching
Quiet stealthy still
Twinkle twinkle afternoon
Sleeping in repose
Twitching eyes and whiskers
Galloping little toes
Twinkle twinkle late at night
The day is growing old
Blending into shadows
Two rings of glowing gold
Twinkle twinkle good luck charm
You ebony feline art
I’m glad you crossed my path
I love you cross my heart
