(cat clip art)You hate
As I slink between
How much
Your shy ankles
You love
And rub
Me
your inhibitions
because
up and out
you know
then dance away
that I
on padded feet
don’t care
across your lawn
that you do
and up your wall
and that
to another’s home
I don’t care
another’s floor
that I don’t
another’s chair
love
and anxious lap
you back

hi erin, oh thaz so true!!! is this a cleave perhaps??!! excellent description of those lovely furry kitties... here kitty kitty hey, ain't it lovely today!!!
ReplyDeleteSuperb! I haven't read the prompt but....I love both of these poems!
ReplyDeleteHi pieceofpie! It's kind of a cleave, but I don't think it quite works as one. I liked your kitty poem, too.
ReplyDeleteLydia, thanks! The prompt was simply to write a cat-inspired poem. And cats don't really inspire me, so I had to think about why they don't inspire me before I could write the poem.
Erin,
ReplyDeleteCute poem and well done with the prompt.
Pamela
Erin:
ReplyDeleteAwesome poem! Nicely woven (sorry)! You really captured that indifferent vibe that they seem to have.
Shari
I love how you weave the two poems around each otehr just the way a cat winds itself around our legs! Very creative!
ReplyDeleteThat's cats for ya!
