A Cat's Dream

I closed my eyes and saw a fish

swimming in my water bowl.

"Don't make me a dish,"

the sweet fish asked,

"but take me back to the rabbit's hole.

He's preparing a feast

and all is invited,

so please take me east

I'm so excited,

to dine on a cat

just imagine that!"

I opened my eyes and ran to my bowl.

No fish in there,

just ants running to and fro.

Author's Note

I'll be serious again tomorrow.

Haha, very lovely and a sweet poem. Your seeemed a bit funny too and that's a coolest thing :)
Hey, Loury, you dig it ... you just dig it. I enjoyed the poem, I watched a cartoon movie through this piece ... lol where a cat wish to grab a rat .. like in 'Tom & Jerry's" show it's happened ..just like same i watched :P Your cool, Loury :)

[Lourisa]

Ha! Good timing then with the poem and the cartoon :) I like Tom and Jerry. Always felt a bit bad for poor Tom.

[Neon]

Haha! wow, really, it's so nice to hear you too love Tom and jerry :)
so ... which one you do like .. tom or jerry ?? :P

[Lourisa]

Tom. Little Jerry is so clever but poor Tom needs a break. Which one do you like?

[Neon]

Well .. I love following the lead as someone as beautiful you are :)
Haha!
I love the complete show :) both characters ... but hey, do you watch "Oggy & the cocoraches too" ??????/ :P

[Lourisa]

:) Yeah, you're right, the show does need both characters. I've only seen on Oggy & the cockroaches episodes and remember that as quite funny as well. Spongebob is another favourite of mine.

[Neon]

Haha, your cool :)
Yeh, i love Oggy and cocoraches too .. yeah .. Spongebob cartoons're cool, i used to watch this cartoon shown when i was a kid ... i really liked that one :P

Do you still love Spongebob cartoons??? :)

[Lourisa]

yeah, I still like Spongebob. Part of me will never grow up, I guess...

[Neon]

Lol .. don't worry, I really love seeing someone as amazing as you feel "Childish" :P

[Lourisa]

You are too kind, Neon. But I think if we let go of that last part of the child in us, then life will be too intolerable. Maybe the child in me is the reason I'm still alive today, it's the only part that will stubbornly hold on to life when I choose death. So it will have to be Spongebob til I'm old and wrinkled.

[Neon]

Awww...
Hey, Loury .. Humanity and kindness never goes to die ... it always keeps alive into the depth of the heart .. and you've got very nice heart...

don't worry .. if you do love Spongebob still ....then me too love love Spongebob stiill :P How i can break the heart of as someone as beautiful you are ... :)

With the age wisdom always comes my dear, Loury :)

Well, I hope you don't hurry on that journey to ... but seriously, I getting a vibe about "rabbit holes" as a recurring thought phrase that echos (echos, echos ...) around your inner dome. A cat fish is so called because: A.) They're fat, like a lot of cats. B.) They love to eat cats. C.) It's a thing they feel compelled to do when they see them swimming. Now, the ants. Oh, the lovely, little, horrible, hideous, tenacious and not-to-misunderstood-or-messed-with ants. Yes, yes a terrible mess. No, no, that will not do.. my creative, wonderful Lourisa-poo. Please, just try to quit stepping in the goo. OK?

Ah Tam, thanks for making me laugh and for the very informative review. There's always something new to be learnt. I'm trying to sidestep the goo down this rabbit hole, but man, it's everywhere!

[Kenneth The Poet]

I own two felines myself and if they could read this, they would laugh like I'm doing right now.

As near surreal as you'll get on a wet morning! Love the way this goes, builds momentum, line by line and is still there, quivering away. Love it, happily!

[Vanessa Rico]

No dont be serious! I loved this! I must admit that I am a cat person so I can perfectly picture this in my head! I love fun poetry like this! You have perfectly portrayed a cat's independent but fun-loving personality! Great job!

[Dream Weaver]

I always wondered what cats dream of and now I know :)
This was just precious...

[Sean Allen]

Nice and relaxing read. Loved it!

[quinfinn]

very clever and great fun... nice write!

[Judy Ponceby]

LOL :) I really enjoyed this!! No need to be serious all the time :) What a fun poem :)
