a kitty named "Zelda"

A kitty named "Zelda"

Her paws, soft, are upon fallen gold

Of rustling foliage. Cold sundown

Turns around to a shadowy cottage.

A cottage with a coach and love-strokes

On the kitty back, softly, softly.

"Zelda" calls a sonorous mistress.

The kitty is coming back after

Yet another adventure she won't tell.

Outside a night of murmur wakes aloud.

The cottage of a coach and love-strokes

Remains amid burst of dark unknowns.

"sonorous" ~ That will be our word for the day Poddar. Poetic Master ~ I enjoyed this one.

Blessings ~

The silent type - ready for affection...until a better offer comes along. Very well written, Poddar.
