Much Missed Dart

Kitten Dart,

Shying away from the crowd

Letting no one find her

Guaranteeing she stays around.

Stealthy Dart,

Hiding away unseen

Hardly warming up

To anyone but me.

Tiger Dart,

Making finger a chew toy

Wresting it away

Takes a grand ship’s ahoy!

Panther Dart,

Pouncing on plastic mouse

Sneaks it upstairs, downstairs

And all around the house.

Travelling Dart,

With mom, Katie, flies over the sea

Braving big plane belly

To make new home with me.

Beggar Dart

Putting canine friends to shame.

Whatever I’m eating

To her is fair game.

Silly Dart,

Having begged a bite off me

Turns her nose up at the morsel

Scratches to cover over the treat.

Sweet Dart,

Snuggling on my lap,

The very best way

To take a cat nap.

Loving Dart,

Finding a cozy place

To nuzzle in a curve

To snooze the night away.

Baby Dart,

Cuddling on my chest,

Takes a belly tickle

With the best of the best.

Much missed Dart – now and always.
