We Met

 

The poem that started it all.

My very first poem in sixth grade.

 

We Met

We met beside the telephone pole.

Somewhere along the line.

I looked into his eyes and smiled

And he looked into mine.

 

I touched his hair with my hand.

He made a soft sweet sound.

I will tell you, tell you all I can.

It felt like soft, sweet down.

 

I whispered in his ear a wish,

“I would like to take you home.”

He gave my cheek a tiny lick

And purred a fuzzy groan.




 

But all good things must come to an end.

The way they always do.

I put the little gray kitten down

And went on my way to school.
