To a Black Cat


Twinkle twinkle little black
Panther in my home
How you shine in morning’s light
Where the sunbeams roam


Twinkle twinkle coiled spring
My ankles catch your eye
Waiting for attack
As I'm walking by


Twinkle twinkle twelve o’clock
At the window sill
Your steely eyes watching
Quiet stealthy still


Twinkle twinkle afternoon
Sleeping in repose
Twitching eyes and whiskers
Galloping little toes


Twinkle twinkle late at night
The day is growing old
Blending into shadows
Two rings of glowing gold


Twinkle twinkle good luck charm
You ebony feline art
I’m glad you crossed my path
I love you cross my heart
