The Curious Feline

 

The curious feline

Curiosity will be the death of her.

It will surely kill the inquiring feline.

The truth will resign to strangling her,

Leaving her hung by a tiny noose.

 

Such curiosity will be rewarded

With the intolerable truth.

 

Go ahead and pick up my diary.

I invite you into my mind’s deceit.

My diary is so heavy,

A ton and a half of excess baggage.

 

I ponder if you can even muster even an inkling of an understanding of real facts,

Much less possess enough strength to hold onto my diary,

For a mere second.

 

Can you fathom my twenty-year-old résumé of torment?

If so, then I invite you to read along.

This is great!!! The way I take this is how angry you are that someone's not respecting your privacy by reading your diary. I love when it says the truth will be the death of you, because it's so true. You write in your diary because of your secrets, and sometimes thsoe secrets involve who is reading it....and they really don't want to know the truth as much as they think they do. It's so crazy because I feel exactly the same right now because my mom keeps reading my diary and my poems and I wanted to write a poem about her not respecting my privacy that she could "find" ahaha...but this is way better than what I had in mind. Love the cat metaphor, it worked very well. Good message, and I totally agree

if that's what you were trying to say in it haha. That's just what I saw.

Good job :D

Can you fathom my twenty-year-old r�sum� of torment?
If so, then I invite you to read along.

I think the last 2 lines were my favorites. Eck. Sell. Ent.

(...)

Or, if you prefer complete words, rather than awesome 3-syllable words broken into three 1-syllable words, EXCELLENT.

"Such curiosity will be rewarded
With the intolerable truth." This line really tied everything together for me.

This piece struck me as a character tortured by his life. The narrator is urgeing the feline near the end of the poem to dare look in his diary, his collection of "intolerable truths." I liked the concept of the emotion in this piece. Job well done.
