[a poem I wrote for English]

a small kitten sat on the edge of the garden
watching the birds and thinking 
"I bet I could fly, if I tried!"

the kitten jumped from her perch and ran into the house
all the while thinking
"I bet I could fly, if I tried!"

she ran into the room where her mother slept,
pawing her and saying 
"I bet I could fly, if I tried!"

her mother looked up, an odd expression on her face
the kitten repeated
"I bet I could fly, if I tried!"

"cats don't fly," the mother said sternly. 
but the kitten repeated in her head,
"I bet I could fly, if I tried!"

the kitten ran from the room, back into the garden, 
and whispered to the birds who could not hear her
"I bet I could fly, if I tried!"

she climbed up a tree, and jumped over the fence,
all the while repeating 
"I bet I could fly, if I tried!"

she jumped down to the sidewalk, sitting and smiling
repeating, just repeating, 
"I bet I could fly, if I tried!"

she began across the road, hoping to tell the world
of her amazing goal, 
"I bet I could fly, if I tried!"

she turned her head, saw a flash of red
she didn't have time to say
"I bet I could fly, if I tried!"


her mother ran when she heard, but far too late
she whispered to her angel
"I bet you could fly, if you tried."


 



cutie patooties, all of you! <3
