Ferocious Beast

I am ferocious,

I am brave,

My mighty roar demanding respect, like a gun in your back,

My soft purr, comforting to say the least,

You can only try to comprehend what I’m capable of,

Scratching away mercilessly at my enemies,

King of my small jungle, no one tells me what to do,

I am a ruthless hunter,

There is no hiding, no escaping my eye,

I will take over the world,

I am a kitty cat.

Author's Note

This is my first poem. Some constructive criticism would be greatly appreciated!

Well it is a wonderful poem and very cleverly written. You have captured the essence of the kitteny cat, for each and every cat I have ever met is exactly what you have described. All cat lovers will love your poem and all who do not have a cat will know exactly how they are after they read your poem.They DO go from playful to raging tiger, depending on their mood.

Yep. That's the way Cat's think. A terrific poem, really fun and thought provoking. Great fun and if this is your first poem, it says a lot how well the others have developed.

Grrrrrrrrrrr! (Beware of YOU!) Nice and powerful! I Love this! Even "Kittens" can scratch your eyes out!!... ;)

[Kenneth The Poet]

Delusions of cat grandeur I take it. Seriously though, this is a solid piece. I suggest you keep writing literalist pieces for a while (aka ones where the meaning is blatant) and then branch out into more imaginative and surrealistic stuff.

[Branch Isole]

Self perception and the front we show the world, different while possibly one in the same, as described in this piece.

very nicely written!
