Sonnet - "Companion"

Once upon a time, a thousand days back

The night before Christmas, she spent in a sack

Sparkles & sounds wrapped up the sky

Laughter and jingle people did enjoy

Quivering she was, with every blare of trumpet

Scared and hungry, craving for a crumpet

Came there a Santa, with bells and bags

Took off his robe and showing his rags

Tired but smiling, he had enough to eat

Pennies made a sound, the next day will be a treat

A whiff of cake inspired, to come out of her nook

Amazed and elated, in his arms the kitten he took

Who is the almsgiver, difficult to speculate

A companion on Christmas, to relish and celebrate
