The Lucky Cat in Silk and Gold

Upon a shelf so high and bright,
A maneki-neko, pure and white,
Sat dressed in silk with threads of gold,
A tale of fortune, grace untold.

Her kimono, soft as moonlit streams,
Flowed with blossoms, stitched in dreams,
Cherry petals, crimson bright,
Danced upon the fabric light.

One paw raised, she called with cheer,
“Luck and joy, come settle near!”
With every smile, with every glance,
She whispered tales of fate and chance.

Through bustling shop and quiet street,
Her charm made weary hearts feel sweet,
For those who stopped and met her gaze,
Found brighter nights and kinder days.

So if you pass where she resides,
Bow with warmth and step inside,
For in her silken, golden glow,
A world of luck is sure to flow.
