The Lost Kitten

In Poetry

Black and white

Amidst a hill of green

Paws dirty

from the roads they've travelled

Serene beside the still river 

The little kitten finds her rest

How long she'd been lost 

She hadn't the faintest idea

The bird she caught for breakfast

Settled in her stomach

For the moment

She was full and content

Resigned to take a nap

She laid down on the warm grass

And closed her eyes

Hey hey, Notsi here!
This poem actually reminds me of a stray cat that my family ended up taking care of. Or more so, her kittens. They were small but so energetic and absolutely adorable. That, and the book named Hatchet. The child in the story gets in a plane crash, and survives but must hunt for food and build a shelter. He survived. Tis all I have to say. I enjoy the warm feeling the poem gives off.

Until next time.

Hi there, Ellie-Mae here for a quick review!

Wishing you a happy day/evening/morning/night/whatever is applicable to your part of the world! First off, please remember that my reviews are my own opinions :) I’ll give honest feedback, but nothing at all is intended to hurt or discourage you in any way at all! <3 So, without waiting anymore, lets get right into the review!

I sure love the way that this flows. That’s probably what I like the most. It has wonderful imagery as well, which I really enjoyed. I feel like I can truly see what is going on in this poem. I love the feeling I get when I think about this kitten. She doesn’t know what’s going on, and she is just enjoying the moment. I can sure learn something from this kitten.

Have a lovely day!
Ellie Mae

Thank you for your review!

It's a beautifully crafted piece. With the faint discription of the kitten to her journey of trying to survive and then finally ending it with her falling asleep, nicely done!

Though, 'Serene beside the still river', both the words still and serene draws the idea of a silent and peacefulness, so it kind of stuck me. Might be my preference in poetry!

But overall the vibes of the poem was calm and seemed like a sneak peek into the lost kitten's life. I hope you've a great day/night ahead!

Thank you so much!



When I use caps I do not want you to read it like a little screech, I want you to read it like a 5,000 year old ogre with the strength of 10,000 men.
