THE KITTEN


She laid on the couch
Full of attitude
Preening for the sake of it
She knows beauty

A quiet beauty
One of self indulgence
Eyes that open and shut
To tease with anticipation

Her fur in place
Time for a nap
She will love you
In her time

Blue eyes now alert
She snuggles close
Wanting to be touched
And who can resist
