I don't always save my poems, but when I do...
You get this. It's loosely based off the perspective of when this bugger ran off from home: http://www.furaffinity.net/view/3789796/
Mainly since it's been about 2 years around this time he passed on and also because I haven't posted anything in a while.
Not one of my better ones, but like I said, the better ones I did were throwaways. Granted, I like to keep poems simple otherwise people miss the main point and people don't like having to over analyze that kind of stuff.

A Nightly Stroll  
 By Kazufox  
  
 Time after time,  
 Day by day,  
 Sitting at the window looking out in wonder,  
 Only to just gaze upon the outside world,  
 While locked up in a fortress of a shelter.  
  
 Then one night,  
 My brother said to me,  
 As he picked away at the door handle,  
 "The door is unlocked!"  
 "Hey, why don't we explore?"  
  
 I perched myself on top of the open window,  
 Then leapt over into the backyard,  
 It was very wet outside,  
 I got away yet had nowhere to go,  
 My feet were sopping wet with water.  
  
 I trotted around in the night,  
 Lit up by the outside lights of houses,  
 Being out on my own,  
 It was a nice feeling,  
 A sense of adventure and wonder,  
  
 I walked around passing home after home,  
 Avoiding the concrete path,  
 As two large glowing eyes like a monster pass by,  
 Besides, the wet grass felt softer  
 Beneath my padded feet.  
  
 Yet, I felt ill as time passed,  
 Longing to be home,  
 The tasty food, the warm bed,  
 So I hurried my way back,  
 And found myself meowing happily,  
  
 In my master's loving embrace.
