#### 2 Stars

* “Ever tried your paw at painting? I'd bet you'd be a natural. / Alas, it is not for me. I cannot create the beautiful visuals of a master painter. But perhaps I can paint a picture with words that will manifest just as well in your mind!”

* “First they crawl, then they run... Over the white-blue ground... Speeding on, they reach their goal... On distant shores that take their toll. / I wrote that poem while peering across the lake to the north-west. You should visit it sometime, and sit on its shores while you think.”

* “It is peaceful to live outside the walls of the Forest Colony. I am left undisturbed by the hustle and bustle most days. / That's good for me, because I like to sleep in every day!”

* “Perhaps you come to talk for a bit? That is fine by me. I find it spurs my own creativity to peek into the mind of another. / Do you exercise your creative muscle often? Make sure you make use of it, or you might lose it!”

#### 3 Stars

* “Did you know that you can extract a pigment from some of the plants that grow around the forest? / I've been doing a lot of experimenting lately, and I've found a way to make a rich yellow color from some of the leaves. Maybe I'll pick up painting one of these days! / The only problem is that the pigments stain my paws terribly, and they don't like to wash out very easily!”

* “There's no scent quite like the fresh flowers that bud in the springtime. I wish I could smell that smell all year round! / I especially like the little pink buds that grow close to the ground. Such a sweet, delicate aroma!”

* “When I was younger, my mother used to tell me that my fur was special. She called it blue like the sea. / But if you think I'm blue, you should have seen her! She was the deepest, most beautiful shade of blue you've ever laid eyes on.”

#### 4 Stars

* “Hey, (Name), you're the subject of my upcoming poem! Do you want to hear it? / Too bad! It's not finished. You'll have to wait like everybody else!”

* “There's a lot of cats that I don't think I can talk to very well. Some of them are just too intimidating to me! / But I never feel that way around you, (Name)! I'm glad we're friends.”

* “When I was growing up, other cats would make fun of me for not wanting to go hunting with them. They said I was too much of a wimp to hang out with them. / But I've found happiness in my own way. I don't need to conform to their expectations in order to live a full life.”

#### 5 Stars

* “Been forever since I've seen any Catnip growing around the forest. / Hey, if you see any, you should bring me some (Name)!”

* “You know what? I'm very happy. I'm very happy because I have a great friend named (Name)!”

* “Green! White! Pink! Red! The colors of spring call to me daily, and I must answer with my voice! / It was in springtime many years ago that I first began to create my poetry. And always it restores my creative spirit!”
