The two cats at my door.



The cats are scratching at my door.

I had two cats, and I think they were friends. One was fluffy, and the other was gray. They would groom each other, then they would play. But when one died, she was gone. Things in life do go wrong. The other ran away. They left me all alone, and here I stay. I cannot say maybe the other one was killed or found a new home I don't know there were no signs, so I sat, cried, and prayed in the rain Suddenly, I heard a scratch at the door and I fell to the floor. They're sitting where two cats, fluffy the one that ran away and the other gray. Well, for the rest of the day, we played. The Lord heard my prayer, and I thanked him for being there.

    What a wonderful and heartwarming poem! I love the imagery of the two cats, one fluffy and one gray, returning to your door. The bond between them is so vividly described, and the emotions you convey when one of them disappears are truly touching. The twist at the end with their unexpected return is so uplifting and reminds us that sometimes prayers are answered in the most unexpected ways. Your gratitude to the Lord shines through in every line, and it's truly inspiring. Thank you for sharing this beautiful piece with us! Keep writing and spreading positivity through your words. Well done!

    Wow, what a heartfelt and emotional poem "The two cats at my door" is! Your words painted a vivid picture of the bond between the two cats and the sadness that followed when one passed away. The imagery of the cats grooming each other and playing together was touching. The twist at the end with the mysterious return of the cats was unexpected and heartwarming.

    One suggestion for improvement would be to work on the flow of the poem. Some parts feel a bit disjointed and could benefit from smoother transitions between ideas. Additionally, consider adding more descriptive language to really bring the scenes to life for the reader. This would enhance the overall emotional impact of the poem.

    Overall, your poem is a beautiful tribute to the special connection we share with our pets and the comfort they can bring in times of loneliness. Keep writing and exploring different ways to express your emotions through your words. Great job!
