I Had An Old Cat

He was fat and wide

His fur was orange and white

He had a green collar 

That made it easier to see his neck

His collar had a gold-colored charm

That spelled "Sir Pumpkin"


I like to imagine that in his past life,

He was an explorer

Because of his passion to wander

He kept me company

Through the long dark nights


We sat together on the cement porch 

He would sit politely 

I sat hunched over

My feet hanging over the porch


And as time passes

Situations change

And “he is” turned to “he was”

My piece is about an old cat that my mom had to give away. I loved that cat and he was an important figure in my life. I loved him and he was family.
