While She Sleeps

Moonlight on the kitchen window
Seeps around the old mullions,
Froths on the sill, dribbles down
The wall, puddles on the floor,
Pours a path to where she dreams,
And refills the kitten's empty bowl.

This poem is like butter...your fellow commenters were very much right when they told you how sweet the imagery richochets in the head after the last line!

cheers,

Bravo!
