i'm in a poetic mood again:

Forest Fire
we had just snuck away from our owners for a moment,

my sister and i.

our mother told us not to leave,

however, we didn't compliy.

we walked into the forest,

our claws scraping the ground,

the world in front of of us,

so big and round.

then I smelled smoke,

we ran as fast as we could,

but we could not escape

the fire eating at the wood.

It trapped us,

in a circle of fire, flames, and smoke.

Foolishly, we climbed up a tree,

but the flames lapped at the oak.

I couldn't see anything but

orange, red and gray.

the flames traveled to the barn,

where our mother lay.

Us two were trapped in our oak,

I leapt down into flame and called to my mother, "Fire!"

but as I breathed in the smoke,

I began to tire.

My sister was still above me,

trapped in the oak,

as I lay below,

choking on the smoke.

I fell onto my side, pain stabbing my lungs,

almost like being by a bee,

my vision went blurry then black,

i had never espected my sister to save me.

She jumped down and pulled us away from the flames,

When I awoke, we were no longer trapped.

But sadly,

inside the burning barn our mother still napped.

as we ran to save her,

it started to rain.

as the rain stopped and we pulled our mother out,

i knew our efforts to help her had been in vain.

She had stopped breathing,

I thought she was dead,

but my sister refused,

for mother wasn't gone in her head.

she pushed her front paws,

on mother's chest,

mother took a breath and coughed,

how my sister had saved her, I could never have guessed.

My sister saved me and mother from the fire that day.

tired, i walked quietly over to my human owner, ben.

Although he couldn't understand my words, I meowed,

"I'm Sorry, Ben. I'll never sneak out, Never Again."
