Silliness

I saw some clouds at night which seemed to me like a cat chasing after something... and then I penned this down

On the window sill,
I saw a little kitten run by
Aiming and jumping
after an elusive butterfly.

I watched curiously
laughing, I almost fell off my chair
Coz as much as it tried,
The kitten kept missing it by a hair.

Even if it did catch it
that would be the end of the game
What you want and what you get;
May not actually be the same.

Run along as much as you want
After this and that and that,
The pursuit of happiness is pointless;
Be practical, stupid cat!

I liked how the heavy rhyme scheme went well with the jumping depicted in the poem.

i like this poem because it very effectively gives the reader a chance to think about the deeper meaning
good job!!

I like this. Interesting take. I hope you're being sardonic about the "lesson" at the end, because I'd like to think that the chase is sometimes enough!
