Black Cat

Inspired by a visit from a Black Cat

Black Cat 

How much I love you 

Why do they fear you

In you all I see Is the beauty

For real I admire Your mystery 

Your light, 

it sparkles In the dark

motion of pure feline stealth

We should be

Together 

There's a connection Between me and you 

So much history 

I'll wait for you 

Till you're next visit 

So you know 

You have a friend In me 

Black Cat

Aww, this brings back thoughts of my black cat too. Thanks for the trip down memory lane.

[Daz]

My pleasure. Thanks for stopping by and leaving a review. It's not my greatest but I like this one also.

[Dara]

Love it! I once had a black cat but it disappeared one Halloween night. I try not to think of the worse case scenario… There is something mysterious and beautiful about a black cat. The way they move, the way they groove. :-) Your poem is a wonderful tribute to them.

We have always had cats. Sooty (I know not an original name, but named by my daughter). We had him for 17 years and I was distraught when we had to have him euthanized. Lucky black cat for us. I hope you get more visits. You clearly love cats.

I used to have tuxedo cats with a white chest. I tended to go to those than a pure black one. Great write. I have a dog now. I used to have cats.

[Daz]

It's good that you have a dog. I like them too. My cat, kiki was a calico. She passed away a few years ago. I still miss her.

Sounds like someone needs to leave out some warm milk.

[Sami Khalil]

I agree with the poet; they stir up mystery and wonder. I like their graceful eyes too.
A purring poem. Lively and lovely

I love cats there there everything.

[Daz]

Yes they're pretty cool 🙂Thanks for the review.

[Mauricio Montoya]

hey I need to read some more of your work

[JimSatire]

Yeah, while I always have a million funny thoughts this is a truly wonderful thing about a man and a stray.

[Daz]

Lol it's actually about a neighbours cat that used to come around my patio. Probably wanting to hang out with my cat. This was really inspired about thinking about how cats, particularly black cats are still looked at in a negative manner in some parts of the world. Something that never made sense to me. And then you have the whole Cat people vs Dog people phenomenon... it's funny but irritating sometimes. Would be nice to adopt another one but unfortunately my 12 year old female cat is very territorial and feisty( tho sweet and protective when she wants to be).

Well said man

By chance, I am missing my black cat. Check and see whether your friend answers to the name NINJA. That's my missing fellow.
Thanks for loving a black cat!

[Daz]

Thank you for reading and leaving a review. Ninja... I love that name. I hope you reunite soon

[angel]

Me too. I have other cats, but Ninja is truly missed...4 days now.
I gave him the name, telling him that ha officially had the coolest name of all the cats in the neighborhood. I'll let everyone know when (if) my little guy gets home.
