Black Cat
Agile and sleek,
lurking in the deep.
Eyes of rarest gem’s
shine in the dark of night.
Black and slim
scratch and sniff,
bathing in the sunbeams
of mornings wake.
Black lady undercover,
luxurious coat like
black velvet and the
softest fur.
Living in the window
seeking comfort with
glaring beauty, and green
eyes like emeralds shine.
My neighbors black cat
she’s a beauty and a luxurious
display of expansive coat’s
and gem’s greener than the
oceans edge.
About this poem
My neighbor has a beautiful black cat and the cats beautiful black velvet fur inspired me to write this.
