I wrote this poem after talking to someone at our shelter who had let a cat out & the cat never came home. It's not the best I've written, but I thought I'd share it with you all.
Kittie's Plead
Youâ€[emoji]8482[/emoji]ve locked all the cabinets
And put up all the plants
You do your best to keep me safe
I know you love me and think Iâ€[emoji]8482[/emoji]m smart
Look in my eyes and remember
My mind sees only adventure and fun
I beg at the door but donâ€[emoji]8482[/emoji]t be fooled
If I understood Iâ€[emoji]8482[/emoji]d dare not venture there
Sometimes I forget to trust you
I donâ€[emoji]8482[/emoji]t want to admit your right
I run and I play blissful
Unaware that danger lurks with every step
So while Iâ€[emoji]8482[/emoji]m thinking clear
I want to be save and warm
So Iâ€[emoji]8482[/emoji]m pleading donâ€[emoji]8482[/emoji]t let me out
Keep me in here.
