POEM: 18 APRIL 2010
by Greg ~ April 19th, 2010. Filed under: Poems.how dude got his name
against the sliding glass door
the kitten rests one small paw
bewitching our baby daughter
enchanting her with cat magic
she crawls over and reaches up
to place her little hand on the glass
opposite the kitten’s foot
they stare into each other’s eyes
then Ruby squeals
high five! high five, dude!

Sometimes I think small children are best at communicating with animals– there’s a very honest transference there. You nailed it!

Cat magic and kid magic combined I think.
