Lunch Date with Neko

My take on a heartbreak poem

Wrapped in blankets of seaweed

Lies more than just pillows of rice

A craving for attention, darling

It’s the vice of greed

 

Did you keep the lucky cat 

With frozen eyes

And as you eat seductive fish

It slowly dies

 

My, my

Curiosity does kill

It’s the creatures without whiskers

That have had their plenty fill

 

It’s the forest that entices

Brooding fog that hypnotizes

And the feelings that arise leaves us

Paralyzed

 

Just add another coin 

To the mountain of gold

Where a selfish dragon sleeps

And affection is sold

 

And when I manage to escape

From the lizard’s cave

I’ll wave goodbye like our feline friend

That passed away

I like it! It has an 'Alice in Wonderland' feel to it that really sparked my interest. Well written!

My, my

- I really like the sentences above. I don't even know how to describe it, but it gives the poem a whole deeper meaning.

There is a lot of talent here, keep writing :D
