My boy - my boy - who comfort brings

and with a raucous cry he sings,

who's only wish is to delight,

and maybe take a crafty bite 



out of my unsuspecting skin

if I don't give my all to him.

But then he rests against my heart, 

to hear each beat and never part. 



Oh would that he my Willow be,

and ask no more than love from me,

which I will give, in spite of grief

and dots of blood from his dear teeth.



I pray that he will gentle grow,

or else sweet love, he'll have to go -

all to the vets to be improved,

with every last sharp tooth removed.



Amen.

No I don't mean it - couldn't do that to him. He's a sweetie really. 

Thank you for the cherries.

Thanks for making me 'titter' this grey and rainy afternoon, Beesmiley Gosh, what an adorable creature, but as this lovely poem points out (if you'll excuse the pun) looks can be deceiving.

Thanks Tina. Liked the pointed pun.

A beautiful wild creature is Willow...yet here is something that cannnot be denied, with that wildness comes a lot of biting and scratching. I remember with my own cats going through the same thing, especially with my turkish van cat, who would get jealous if my affections went elsewhere.

I do so hope you manage to get through this without having to go to the vets.

A perrrrfect! Poem from you Bee.

Yeah, he's just going through that manic out to bite the world phase they hit at some point. He's crazy affectionate and cuddly. Purrs like an engine. I love him. Glad you liked the poem. Don't think a vet would take his teeth out. They're just the tiny needle baby ones just yet.

Lol. I hear you. I have a kitten and he is going through a bitey phase too.

The beat of your heart is the mellifluent rhythm to my soul.
