Poems

My Smokey
by

Jacklynn MacKenzie

Soft, velvety furry one,
You bring to me such joy;
As you sit beside me purring,
Or chase your "catnip" toy.
You cheer me up when I am down,
You take away my dreary frown.

You love me so and this I know -
For when a'hunting you sometimes go
You're back at the door, with a gift for me,
A mouse or a squirrel,
You found under a tree.

So proud you are
Of the prey you caught,
You want to be praised
For this gift you have brought.

I look at you just sitting there,
The wind blows through your bluegrey hair,
A mane like a lion, circling your face -
You're so full of style, you're so full of grace!

Huge green eyes, like precious gems,
Stare at me with a wondering gaze -
Purring and meowing, as you "talk" to me
Telling me what you've done today.

How can anyone not love
This animal so divine?
This soft and furry Smokey cat -
I'm so happy that he's mine.
