Courtship





My neighbors have an alluring gray eyed kitten
I saw her the other day and was instantly smitten
With her fluid poise and haughty elegance
Watching through the den's window as though in a trance
As she basked upon her wide front porch without a care

Narrow dark stripes flowing over silvery fur
Move in a way that make me ache and purr
There must be a way that I can get close to her!
Through the Little One's window and down the old maple tree
Over damp cool grass and across the street

Under the pale Moon's glow, I can easily see
The kitten's silhouette through the window
Her tail curled round her paws as she watches me
I had the urge to wail and shout. But that would have been wrong, without a doubt
Instead, I sat upon the porch's window sill

Questions were asked and smiles were returned
Between scratches on glass and all I had learned
Which made my heart ache and tremble and oddly burn
As the night's darkness slowly dissolved to morning's light
Lenore unfurled a smile for a kiss Good Night!
