Humans are stupid
Thinking they can hide the cream
From us smarty cats

Halloween, it’s trick or treat
Does that make it sickly sweet?
Would you prefer a devilish trick?
Or perhaps a marshmallow on a stick
Beware the goblins chasing ghosts
They’ll scare you out of your earthly host
Perhaps it’s better to just stay in
Away from all the spirited din
Remember, keep your doors shut tight
And turn on all the outside lights
Watch for witches, and green-eyed cats
And of course, those skeletons, riding bats
Beware of those who come your way
Unfriendly beings are not sweet today
Writing Prompt: Sickly Sweet – Day 18/31

Unconditional
Is the joy and playfulness
In a loving pet

The cold winds begin to blow
And pretty soon, the sky will snow
Please don’t let me stay out here
I need warmth, like you, my dear
I’m just as human as anyone
I love to sit in the shining sun
But when the sun turns much colder
And I, become, a wee bit older
Inside, away, from bitter weather
Is where I’ll feel much, much better
Author’s note: As the colder weather makes its way in, please remember to take in your pets. Freezing conditions for humans are unbearable. I can’t imagine what they feel like when forgotten in the cold…

Four paws
racing through the halls
in anticipation
Anxiously awaiting
dancing by the door
tail wagging, tongue hanging
there to greet you with
Unconditional love
In loving memory of Prince, Mimi, Alia, Ripley & Kira, who brought such joy to our lives over the many years. Always in our hearts, never forgotten.
