HALLOWEEN MONTH — VERSE! 🎃
Photo Prompt 4 — The Apprentice Cat
A LITTLE POCUS ★。・:*:・゚☆ 🦇
I am Hocus The apprentice cat The smell of pumpkins on the mat I am fed with tail of mouse Or tail of rat
I am Hocus The apprentice cat I must observe As my mistress sways
I must observe As my mistress chants
I am Hocus I must focus As she blends her herbs Into the lotion
I am Hocus I must focus As she blends her herbs Into the potion …
‘Hocus,’ she tells me, ‘it’s just a little Pocus.’ ・:*:・゚☆
We soar through the night On her broomstick narrow I claw in fright To relive tomorrow
Hands gnarly soft She strokes my head ‘Goodnight, little Hocus, it’s time for bed.’
So bats take flight As I curl up tight On a cushion of cobwebs Purring the night
