Kitten

Ho, pink and furry creature,
I have you now,
prisoner to my curved scimitars,
I hold you powerless in my grasp.

Just wriggle once,
I dare you,
and mayhap I’ll release you,
to spark the frantic chase anew.

Or pretend death,
I warn you,
and my arcing, flashing blades
be quick to disembowel you.
