Buh-Bye, Kitten (A children's poem)

in #poetry6 years ago (edited)

Hi, Children's Lit lovers.

We found this baby. We waited for its mother to appear, but it didn't happen. Its crying was the loudest we've ever heard; we guessed something was really wrong about it, so we took it in. But with three cats at home already, we knew we had to find it a home, which to my surprise, happened the same day. I just felt (secretly) sad to let it go that quickly.

Buh-Bye, Kitten

In my hand
there’s a life.
Warm and beatin’
newborn kitten
found at night
in the hide.
                  But tomorrow
                  there’s a sorrow,
                  for another
                  caring mother
                  comes to keep him.

                                    Buh-bye, kitten.
                                    You, will leave me
                                    and forget me
                                    just as swiftly
                                    as you calmly
                                    fell asleep.

Thanks for reading.
