A CAT NAMED YOU

prose-poetry

 

                You,

have often been

an over-dependant companion

a particularly fearsome,

 lumbering, grazing beast,

                   whose prey has been abundant,

                      for your gratification, or else, to ravenously feast,

a tree

 dwelling creature,

with retractable claws tearing, flesh

with speed and poise,

in

        a

head strong pounce, you display a fiendish,

ruthless style of temperament, to simply, indulge,

whilst thriving on admiration, beholding

                                     many a dysfunction,

                                                then

 with a treacherous,

powerful thrust,  of your strong

back legs, you launch into the air,

eyes firmly placed on where, you intend

to safely land and tread,

using your characteristic,

spine twisting trick,

as, you gracefully fall

 until

 I

 hear,

 once again your, familiar,  

                                affectionate call....

I have a rescue cat of my own. I would rather say that I own a rescue cat but
he own's me instead. He is far more creative than I could ever wish to be. Can
make more sounds, can legitimize more situations and hobors no shame. He cares deeply if I don't
change his litter but wont even make a sound if I don't flush the toilet. He can't speak
but speaks. Has developed a taste for flowers and rats which are a gastroesophageal
association I just can't wrap my mind around. He loves and hates me, can
live and survive without me and is my best friend.

Than you again for your affectionate call....dana

Dear Dana,
thanks so much for your enthusiatic review, which I think reads like a poem in itself,and I found it so interesting, great to hear from you

I love my cat, Big Kring, so much...I saw him in every line of this...except you forgot to mention how, in mid stride, he feels the need to stop and clean himself *laugh* Exceptionally well done.
