On a bright fortnight
the Moon was strangely dark
and the night was almost black.
For some reason unknown to the Moon
you went early to bed and your kitty alone
was there to keep a vigil.
Your face, tired, forlorn
shone in the light of the Moon
and woe-begone
you clasped the kitty in an anxious grip.
The kitty felt assured. Even in your sleep
you were alertly guarding the things you loved.
How would the kitty convey to the Moon
that the night is the time to sleep!
"Do not worry," said the kitty to the Moon.
"Your path is to traverse the crowded sky.
Till the dawn is your furlough, and then we go
back to our places: you to sleep and we to wake up
and back to school.

- Blue Moon brought a scare to the world which lingers on till this day . Kitty was brave enough to soothe our moon. We express our gratitude to the cute little kitty. Sushama your poem should never end. From the start to where u end it is always a wonderful journey. Every word brings on the calm.
REPLY 21w - +santosh pandey Hello, Santosh! I don't know much of astrology but I generally don't like the weather while the eclipse is on.
And talking about cats and kittens, cats are as much sensitive and attentive to the vibes of their owner as any dog. :-) 🌜🐈🌛🙏
I am glad that the words brought on the calm felt by the cat. :-)REPLY 21w - 21w
