An Ode To My Cats

 

What majestic felines rumble

At athletic-socked feet

And slink with the cautiousness of a ghost

Now purring and furry, they anticipate

Every move I am about to make

And all-knowing eyes glint at me

With acknowledgement of my being

And my presence in their realm

Shapely brown and grey tigers, stalking

Standing guard at each window

With mild amusement, they watch

All manners of things unseen and unwitnessed

With great eyes, like fires

That burn into me

The descendants if some noble lineage

That prowled jungle palaces and pyramids

Heritage of untamed discipline

Yet not without their pride

They creep and softly saunter

Across carpeted domain they patrol

Against all unwilling subjects

That does not recognize their supremacy

In their tamed domain they remain

At my feet

In my bed

On my lap

They are queens that reign in gentle ferocity

And slink silently at my steps

Very nicely written. Catz rule the universe. You might want to read my "S.P.C.I." poem about a cat sniper in the war of cats on dogs, a bit of a fantasy piece. "Special Agent Fluffy" don't take no crap from the doggies! It was well received, and I won the "Master of the Feline Universe" award for this piece.

Catz rule!
