Black Cat Before a Waterfall

  Black Cat Before a Waterfall

Superstition makes Black-black a rare pet,

     her being black is bad luck,

not even when you meet her on the street,

     surely you stop and turn back.

Black is beautiful they say, but not a cat,

     like black diamond, black hair;

console one wearing black, save the cat,

     really it's not at all fair.   

She finds peace and content by a waterfall,

     its water falling free, 

purring while the waterfall roars and the river

    flows out to the sea!

 

 

Black-black is a native domestic feline, counterpart of the mongrel.  

Her lineage is traced to cats in the neighborhood, however as to 

how she got her pure black coat is unknown.  Author's pet at home,
