Thanks everyone, especially Heavenly Survivor for giving me ideas, and coming up with princess.

Sorry it's been so long, but I fear this might be my last poem.

Enjoy:


Sleeping Soundly

By mother's side,

Now awake

Wide eyed.

Brothers and sisters,

Fluffy kit coats,

Together by mother like docked boats.

Some Tabby, some grey,

And some bright red.

Side by side we lay.

Some the color of oats.

All together in mothers soft bed.

Long since then, though I remember it well,

My life is trapped by a collar and a bell.

On the past I try not to dwell.

My brothers and sisters were sold,

But I stay, day after day,

Eat sleep and play.

On the bright side I never

Worry about weather or prey.

However…

I found love his name unknown,

I was expecting his kits

When a fiery figure scared me half to death!

I ran to my owners, but I felt something strange.

I couldn't stop thinking about that cat, pelt red as rage.

Then once again I saw him, then I knew who he was;

Rusty, my brother from long ago back in mother's warm bed.

Once my kits were born,

I wanted them not to go through what I went.

I wanted to choose my kit's fate.

I picked my eldest son.

He had soft, fluffy, white fur

That was bright as the sun.

Once he was gone, I missed his purr,

But that's just how things were.

I wished he was back with me in my soft bed.

He would become a warrior, and make me proud.

Seasons passed, monsters came and reduced the forest to rubble.

I knew that the clans where headed for great trouble.

I never saw my kit or brother ever again.

When I saw Rusty again for the second time I knew,

My life would never be the same,

It would never again be

Like it was in mother's soft bed.
