Poetry month -- Day 26 -- sort of

Here is my poem for today. I wrote a "Carpe Diem" poem, about living in the moment.

26 – Carpe diem

Kiss the kittens while you may,
Their downy heads are delightful.
The little cats unloved today,
Tomorrow could be frightful.

Kiss the kittens, mind the claws,
You’re lucky just to hold them.
Full-grown cats may give pause
When you try to scold them.

Kiss the kittens, mind the teeth,
Watch your cheeks and nose.
When cats take position underneath
Your chair, they’ll bite your toes.

Kiss the kittens, tomorrow grown
Do not your love defer.
For the cats that make you their own,
Cats to kittens I prefer.
