Behind those sapphire eyes
a trusting soul peers out
your little heart beats apace
tiny mouth mews silently
oh, little kitten
I am smitten
beholding a world
of wonder
anew.
Written in response to Sadje‘s What do You See #85 photo prompt.

The image shows a small kitten looking inquisitively, from under a table.

Very cute picture and poem, Chris.
I know it may sound odd, but as well as the trusting soul you mention, I can also see an old soul behind those eyes. 🙂 And a thoughtful one at that!

Yes, absolutely, our rag doll is 11 (still young) but though more mature has a regular kitten moment that is fun to watch or join in.
