1. The Little Kitten by William Blake
The little kitten, soft and white,
With eyes of blue and fur so bright,
Went creeping through the garden green,
And chased the butterflies unseen.
He pounced and leaped, a tiny sprite,
With joy and mischief in his sight,
And then he curled up in the sun,
His playful day almost done.
2. The Kitten by Christina Rossetti
A tiny ball of fluff and fur,
With eyes of blue and claws that purr,
He tumbles through the house with glee,
A little ball of energy.
He chases shadows, bright and bold,
He bats at string and mice of old,
And then he curls up on your lap,
A purring, cuddly, furry chap.
3. The Kitten's Play by Thomas Hardy
A tiny paw, a playful spring,
A pounce, a leap, a happy thing,
The kitten plays, a joyful sprite,
In sunlit room, a furry light.
He chases dust, a fleeting dream,
And bats at sunbeams, bright and gleam,
A world of wonder, all his own,
The kitten's play, a joyful drone.
4. Kitten by Langston Hughes
A little ball of fur so black,
With eyes that shine and whiskers that crack,
He sleeps and dreams in sunlit space,
A tiny creature, full of grace.
He stretches out, a furry bloom,
And then he leaps, a silent boom,
He plays and purrs, a gentle soul,
A tiny kitten, taking its toll.
5. The Kitten's Lullaby by Edith Thomas
Hush little kitten, don't you cry,
Mommy's here, she's close by,
She'll lick your ears and clean your paws,
And keep you safe from all the flaws.
Sleep little kitten, dream of mice,
Of chasing balls and string so nice,
And when you wake, your mother's here,
To love and care and hold you dear.
