If people are cats
I am a domestic long-hair,
Soft and fluffy and gray,
Tiger-striped, but harmless,
More interested in comfort
Than in conquest.
Feed me, stroke me,
Give me a warm place to sleep
And I will purr
In your lap
All night.

Purrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrring is good, and so is this poem!


I was born myself, raised myself, and will continue to be myself. The world will just have to adjust.

I hate your socks. I'd like to burn them!

This poem is so precious, as I am sure you are to many people that enjoy having purr-fect writing and thoughts abounding.

hi marilyn, your approach to the challenge kindz of stuck in my mind and i decided to try this a second time...

if people are cats,
i am a black tabby
shy and aloof,
prowling through life alone,
enjoying invoking fear in others

but this very same tabby will
stand by you;
gladly offer his catnip(and go hungry)
if you manage to break through his walls
and engage him as a friend

that was a real hard piece to write(i stared at the screen for 20 mins)but i hope this piece has said something about myself...

Very nice, Kaile!  Thanks for sharing that about yourself.  I know what you mean.  It took me a while to decide what to do with this, too.   It was an interesting challenge though. BTW, I noticed you mentioned you're from Singapore.  I have an ICQ friend there, one of the nicest people I know.
