"Pink, pink, pink! How does this rosy color retain itself in this blossom called so prettily rose? Lovely, icy pale sky of everlasting, loyal blue! Always there, no matter the troubles. Green, ah, green of earth, life and the vegatation abound! Flowing, connecting, rooted to earthy brown..." sang the noisy white cat Casting a baleful, amused amber eye about Chuckling at the annoyance he saw, knew he caused, and reveled in But didn't dare to creep closer within arm's reach "Black, raven's wing, the color of endless space. Without you, there would be no moon seen, no colors enjoyed, no stars wished upon Just as the passionate red would thump, thump in the hearts of many wishing for love from above And golden, cowardly, yet sunny bright yellow would blossom shyly and worth more than gold Birthed from gentle, pure white that angels do adorn themselves so." Silencing, shrieking, racing away The noisy cat stopped short his song When someone, a mysterious stranger, pushed him in Sending a great splash! as a mix of tie dye met his fall Making him sputter, scratch and howl Before I lifted him up Dried him off And looked at the damage made Whirls of yellow, black, red, pink, meeting Spots of brown and orange Joining together with green, leaving tender places of white undone, And turning his paws blue O what a sight this once noisy cat was! Suddenly like a drop of rainbow from the sky above And not the angelic white of a hunter That all cats would preen and adore "What a pity," I said, shaking my head at the mess He was such a strange picture now to look at I couldn't help but giggle as he rose, instantly, in distress Demanding to see a mirror and look at his new self To see all the destruction caused to his beautiful coat As if a modern painter had raced in, thrown all his paint, and ran out again Leaving a dizzy feline behind "O I don't know," he said, looking at his now rainbow tail with a glee not known by me "I rather like, don't you agree it is rather charming?" Of which I couldn't answer right away But smile faintly at his excitement That I could not name "You see, my dear, it is quite simple: You think I've lost much of my normal self But I think it is all for the better Because not only do I have my health, heart, mind and spirit, I have all the colors of the rainbows To forever accompany me."  Yes, mes amies, I'm feeling much better now. Did anyone miss me? *hears silence*  ~Astraea [This message has been edited by Astraea (edited 02-14-2000).] |

astraea: i definately like the story, though i'm certain to be missing something in the final statement made by the rainbow cat... or perhaps it wasn't meant to be deep?... either way this is excellent (and imaginative) work... sincerely, jerome the melancholy priest A savage place! as holy and enchanted As e'er beneath a waning moon was haunted By woman wailing for her demon-lover! ~Coleridge |
