A Halloween Tail
Black cat prowling
stalking slow.
It's shadow appeared
in the pumpkin's glow.
Arched and stretching
it's silhouette,
it gave a yowell..
I can't forget.
On Halloween night,
frightened as could be,
that sight and sound
sent chills through me.
I still remember,
and it makes me smile,
what happened next
put me in denial.
For there, on the porch
as cute as could be...
was the neighbor's kitten,
for all to see.
