"From Mew To Meow" dots

-------------------------------------------

There in the snow a mewing
a tiny kitten stood,
with one raised paw and shivering,
like only a kitten could!

Now, who can resist a kitten
faced with such distress!
I lifted him from the snow,
and cuddled him to my chest.

I carried him to my cottage,
and gave him fresh warm milk,
and made a basket by the fire,
for this homeless little whelp.

My God, you would have thought
he had a lawnmower in his chest,
the way he purred, and purred, and purred,
like he'd found Heaven at last!

I still have the kitten,
only he's not little now!
He still stays by the fireplace,
but his mew has changed to meow!

  Ron that was amazing. Your use of simple flowing words made it a joy to read. I could actually see the scenario being acted out.

I loved it

  Who could resist such a cute kitten? No one! And no one could resist this darling ode to feline friendship. A wonderfully hearfelt poem. Thanks for sharing it!

  haha...i like the 4th stanza the most
"My God, you would have thought
he had a lawnmower in his chest,
the way he purred, and purred, and purred,
good grief, give it a rest!"
when they want their things, they want it now and fast
or they will purr till you give them what the want

^-^
make me think of my cats...
one of them meow very loudly and the other like to sleep in the sink

  Kawaii !!! You're katty poems never fail to brighten my day Ron, I always look forward to seeing the next one arrive ^-^. I've been watching the kittens that were donated to college (brother and sister grey tabbies - Casper and Cara) grow up, they're getting pretty big now but still aren't full grown yet (due to the constant begging, pleading and praying of all us students and tutors). I really love the fourth stanza:

"My God, you would have thought
he had a lawnmower in his chest,
the way he purred, and purred, and purred,
good grief, give it a rest!"

It reminds me of my cat recently, he got into a bit of a scrape and has been purring to make himself feel better as well as attention seeking non stop ! Keep up the great work, thanks for giving me a smile x

Love n luck

  Wonderful poem Ron,

You have not only succeeded in giving all of your readers a chuckle but also the lovely feeling of reading something good and cute.

Very well written expressing your affection for the poor kitty and also your talent at penning your thoughts down in the most endearing fashion.

What a unique idea....this write - up flows well and makes a very enjoyable read.

Good work

  Awww, how sweet, you kept the kitty and now it's a cat. They do purr pretty loudly at times don't they? My daugther has one that does just that.
I can imagine how you got frustrated with it at first, and yet at the same time, couldn't just send it back out into the cold.
