Dusk rolled in
The rain dripping on panes
Its pitter-patter, an ether
Bringing euphoria
To the grimalkin
Who sits in the attic
In silence, she cursed
The zodiac signs
The planetary cabal—
An augur ill to misgivings
Causing her to miss
True love’s kiss
In response to MindLoveMisery’s Menagerie’s Wordle #120 and dVerse’s Quadrille: A Prelude to a Kiss hosted by De who challenges us to blow some kisses into our poems today.
Here’s a little something for a friend who is afraid of taking chances! 😉

Oh, that feeling certainly sucks — to have missed out because of being held back by such arbitrary things.
I love the setting and the image!

I love your little shoutout to your friend…sometimes it IS important to take those chances. I’m ashamed to say I had to look up the word “grimalkin.” I LOVE it when I learn a new word through a poem. Thank you!

Nooo, not true love’s kiss…but if it really is true love, then there must be another opportunity, right?
P.S. I had to google “grimalkin”. Thanks for introducing me to a new word! 😀
