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
