I am used to her whims. She is a fickle creature. One day it is fish, the next fowl.
She might sleep away her day in the sun, or be ludic in her nature.
She is as fair as the sun-kissed lily with a temperament as black as the Great Hall’s shadows should she choose.
She glistens and glosses; great care she takes in her appearance.
Green eyed in life and in envy – she sees me play with another and spits and spats.
She must have her way, her choosing, all attention drawn to her, or a stomp and a leaping turn.
Behold the white fawn of the dawn; I am the white cat of the eventide.
She is my Blue Lady of the Chapel.

Lovely. The last few lines give it an ancient feel–like a bard is telling this tale.

Thanks — I was thinking of Jane’s description of the cat as “inscrutable” and things bard-like.

Easy light, breezy and a delight! (Why do I want to break into “Covergirl”???)
Right, seriously, this may be a free write but it’s lovely enough and each line is just right – holds its own and leads on to the next – and in the end, tells a whole story me thinks. :)
I LOVE:
Behold the white fawn of the dawn; I am the white cat of the eventide.
She is my Blue Lady of the Chapel.
Purrrfect ending!

I love this free flow style. You keep it loose but manage to keep it from straying from the subject. Well done!
