Poem -
Black Cat
The owl is in the belfry
the stray dog howls,
through the inky black night
the black cat prowls.
In the moonlight
sleek and black,
slinks the black
velvet magic cat.
Along cobbled streets
of centuries old,
scimitars of cold, silver moon
in the eye, upon emerald fiery gold.
Through the starlit mist
stalking the dawn,
pearl daggers unsheathed,
moonlit fangs drawn.
A quick silhouette
of a shadowy soul,
with spiteful heart
as black as coal.
The owl and Raven
lament in the sombre calm,
as the black rat falls
for the black catĀ“s charm.

This simply has to be pinned by me as your arrangement of words is so clever, and vividly depicts the smart hunter in the darkness!
Hi Yiyan Han, hope you are very well. Thank you for your appraisal of my poem, very kind words indeed and great that you have pinned it. Thank you!
Aw...stunning write Tony...you have captured the essence of ..'cat '...love (and hate) the ending because I can't bear suffering. I have two cats and love them to bits but 'ground' the little bastards as soon as they start bringing in the small things in various states of death!! I am forever trying to save them...and my garden is one big graveyard!! Hugs ?
Hi Marion, hope you are very well. Thank you for your very kind words, a very fine appraisal indeed and very motivational. I am a cat lover too, such poise and grace as well as fussy fur and sometimes very fierce too! :) x
This is one of the best Halloween poems I have read!Ā I am so sorry I missed this. I don't know how I missed it but I did, so, my apologies. This has a spooky dark atmosphere and, like I said, perfect for Halloween. And anytime, actually, because it is a great poem x
