A big thanks to Coby Cullen for suggesting Brackenfur, giving me the idea of using Sorreltail instead. Sorreltail was more emotional when Honeyfern went, and it adds a lot more feeling to the poem. And this poem is called Crushed (I happen to be listening to Crush by David Archuleta. I'm not very into David Archuleta, he's okay. But good enough!!)


Crushed

No...

Don't...

Be a dream...

This is a dream!

I refuse

To snap back to reality,

Because I know

Reality is not pretty.

From the day I met

Brackenfur

I thought I would be happy

Forever.

When I had his kits,

I grieved for Cinderpelt,

But I was still happy

Because our love had results.

I loved my kits

Cinderkit

Poppykit

Molekit

And

Our sweet Honeykit.

Cinderkit is now Cinderheart

Poppykit Poppyfrost,

And Honeykit became Honeyfern.

Molekit

Was just Molepaw

Because he never became

A warrior.

Greencough overtook his body.

Grief overtook mine's.

I was crushed

This was just too much!

I had four kits for Brackenfur

Now I just have three.

And now

I only have two.

Out of all my kits

It was sweet, thoughtful little Honeyfern

Who died.

I didn't want to lose another kit!

I was shrieking

All thoughts out of mind

Except for

Save Honeyfern,

Save Honeyfern,

Live,

Live,

Don't die,

Don't die,

Why, StarClan?

Why?

I didn't know why

I didn't think I would ever know.

Honeyfern

Good-bye

You are a great kit to have

Sweet,

Thoughtful,

Lovable.

When the snake bit her,

It took away bits and bits

Of life away from me

It tore my kit away from me.

I will not lose another kit again

Cinderheart and Poppyfrost will live well

I will ensure that.

Are you watching me over StarClan,

Honeyfern?

Molepaw?

I drowned into sleep

Dreaming of the day

The day my kits were born.

It was a bittersweet dream

Memories flowing into me

Cinderpelt dying, protecting my

New kits.

I counted four,

Sweet, small furry shapes

Mewling near my belly.

One a gray tabby

I looked at Cinderpelt

Cinderkit

I named the tabby.

Then a tortoiseshell

Poppykit.

I look at the honey-colored light brown tabby

So sweet-seeming already.

Sweet as honey.

Honeykit.

The only tom,

A muddy brown.

Molekit.

My eyes popped open

I wish I never awoke.

All my kits were with me,

Cuddling beside me

In that dream.

But now,

All is gone

All is crushed.

Only two left,

Only two left to love.

My heart is crushed

Crushed

crushed

crushed

To the depths of the cliff

Crushed down,

Brokenhearted.

If only there was a way

To regain shape,

To not be crushed anymore.

Stop it!

I yell at StarClan

Stop torturing me!

Stop abusing my kits!

Stop

Crushing

My heart.


Aws, poor Sorreltail. I admit this wasn't as well done since I was distracted by certain messages. :) Still, a tribute to Sorreltail, Brackenfur, and all Sorrel's kitties! xO

WAHHH HONEYFERN!! Don't care much bout Molepaw though! :D
