Magic Monday~Magic of The Black Cat
Welcome To Magic Monday
Where We Love To
Bring Out The Magic In Poetry
Tonight We bring out the
Magic Of The Black Cat
For what ever the reason
Cats have long been the protagonists of
Myths and legends
All over the world.
Some cultures have worshiped Cats,
While others have condemned them…
What do you believe...
When you see
A black cat crossing your path
Is it unlucky, does it
Bring you bad luck?
Still others believe that it’s the
“White Cats”
That bring us the bad luck…
Or
To meet a black cat is seen as fortunate,
especially if it crosses one’s path.
Sometimes it is considered unlucky
if the cat runs away from the person
or
Turns back on its own tracks.
Some believe …
You should never chase away a black cat
in case it takes the luck of the house with it.
So we find
conflicting versions of cat superstitions
from all over the world.
Some cultures tend to associate black cats with bad luck;
Others attribute good luck to the same animals…
Black cats have been associated with deities,
Witches, and dark magic for centuries…
Cat hair and bones were often
Ingredients of charms and spells…
So for Tonight let’s have fun and get creative
Let`s share our poetic feelings and thoughts about
Black Cats
Are They
Lucky or Unlucky
Tell us of the Magic of Black Cats
and
Let’s all Write Magic into Poetry!

Hi Diane! Magical post dear sister. Love the graphics!! I haven’t written anything special , yet I have been eagerly awaiting your post tonight. Meet Dante, the newest member of my clan. He will be 6 months old on November 13th. How awesome to have a black cat born on the 13th. By the way. 13 is my lucky number. Smiles. We can always find all kinds of representations of our darkest fears. Yet I believe that it is your belief in WHAT you think WILL bring you bad luck , that really brings you bad luck. I love black cats, I always have. In fact, little Dante is here with me now as I write this comment….sitting on my computer desk, pawing at the computer screen and chasing the courser. His diligent eyes are ever watching , eagerly awaiting any chance to glean an opportunity for play. My spirit joins with his. And my heart is ever glad for his “old soul” presence.
Love & Blessings. And Happy Halloween!
Oh well could not find what wanned so just use this black cat … 😳 😳 .. Giggles .. Hugs

Be the misty
Black birds even raven
Be all black
Straight
From hell they say
Black cat
Rock stars of the animal world
Held in high esteem
The belief of witches transforming themselves into black cats in order to prowl streets
If a black cat walks towards you its a sign of bad luck
But if its walkin away thats good luck
Oh well to each their own
But to me its just a cat

BLACK CAT AND HER BEAUTY
*^*
A black cat is a feline with black fur
It is not a particular breed of cat and may be mixed are of a specific breed
The Bombay known for its sleek black fur
Is an example of a black cat
Black cats
That spark in their eye
Give me the chill just to see
The power of the cat
Jumps the length of the road
Speed like lightening
Keen sense of smells be
See in the dark
Sleek black coat it wears
Fire popes
With the stroke of hand
Hisssss are perrrrr
All the same
It lures
Creeps jump and ponce
The mighty black cat
Has reflexes agility and stamina
Of an Olympic level acrobat
Athletic and has great physical endurance
Street fighter capable
Taking on several armed assailants
Incapacitating them without being injured herself
Her mighty crawls
Will scratch out an eye
Yet just a fuzzy wuzzzy when it comes to her kitties
*^*

A notable magic cat scene from the movie Bell Book and Candle (1960)
Cats are so full of personality. Wonderful blog and challenge. Will sleep on this and return. :love: :love: :love:
All Hallows Eve
Our animals are sheltered and safe in the fold.
Results of the harvest to sustain us we hold.
Night comes early, we try to stay warm.
Around the small fire old stories are told.
We snug down for the cold months on our little farm.
The end of the harvest and winter is nigh.
Tonight around us the spirits will fly.
Out in a clearing in light of day,
we erected a bonfire to draw ghosts away.
Housebound for luck our black cat will stay,
an invitation to the devil should she wander away.
A wolf’s howl pierces the expectant still night.
Moonlight leads us to the bonfire we light.
The wood fire’s fingers reach out to the dead,
while back to the safeness of our hut we head.
If a ghost does find us, we will provide
food and drink in the entryway, while inside we hide.
Moving through time’s passage to our trick or treat,
the doorbell rings and we jump to our feet.
Candy-filled baskets costumed children deplete.
This the neighborhood Halloween meet and greet.
In cozy places friends meet in masquerade.
Many weeks earlier these plans were laid.
Cute clever costumes keep the spirit of the day.
How we overcome death and keep him away.

MY FELINE DICHOTOMY
Sleek and silky,
black as coal,
paw by paw,
with confidence
he strides,
my treasured black cat
such a dichotomy inside.
He purrs
and he whimpers,
he hisses and growls;
depending on his mood,
he even chuckles
and yowls.
Sometimes he forgets
that he’s actually a cat,
preferring instead
to be everyone’s friend.
And he’s really good at that,
you see;
he fits right in
with the whole family.
