Warm Fuzzy Wednesday Poetry

Shy

Mother is feeling kind of tired today
So I'll have to be quiet while I roam around and play
Gliding down Halls that seem a little less wide than before
As my paws brush silently over the thick carpet on the Floor
I marvel at just how Big everything still is compared to me

While I sneak into each Room to check on our Human Family
For truth be told, I'm a little scared when Mother is not around
When out of her sight, I'm hesitant to indulge in running leaps and bounds

So I focus on things that are large and way beyond my grasp
Like trying to charge up the Stairs without a pause or gasp
I can now leap up three Steps where last week it was one or two
Though I have to stop and catch my breath, Mother was thrilled with the news

And told me that I would be able conquer more Things easily as the weeks go by
Like climbing to the tops of the Curtains and Book Case way up high
Which is not too shabby for a Kitten so demure and shy
Who likes to learn by playing while our Humans are busy and out of sight
Which means I'll be having lots of fun while the House is quiet through the night!
