Hi guys.. I've just been on a 3 day poetry course, at University, and this is one of the poems I wrote during the course. The excercise was to write from the point of view of a randomly selected noun.. and guess what?! I got Tom cat!
So here it is...


Tom Cat

Mine. They are all
mine.
They all want me,
with their pretty pussy faces
and petted, pampered bodies.
Oh God how they want me!

She’s playing hard to get
with her tail in the air
while her perfume drives me
WILD
and she clambers up the fence.
But she wants me.
It’s my presence;
I impress her,
turn her on,
chase her,
catch her,
take her,
haha!
I am the King,
let me see you bow!

It's nice to share - kiss someone when you have a cold.

Very well done, I liked enormously, very imaginative.

This is so refreshing. You draw a vivid image of a male supreme.

James - a tom cat is a male cat that hasn't been neutered, so still goes around the neighbourhood harrassing little 'ladies' and fathering kittens

Thanks Chris!

Love ya'll,

hmmm, it's embarrassing at times to witness how males can get so cocky about their self-perceived charms...

was the course interesting? noticed you tried out some alliteration for good measure..

Funny...I used to watch my old girlfriends tom cat stalking other cats...he would sort of creep up on them and when he got close he would take off full speed and jump on them...reminded me of a lion or tiger...
My tom cat was a tuff one...he would come home with some nasty wounds and occasionally I would have to take antibiotics and stick them down his throat to kill the infection of a wound...James

Our little female cat fell pregnant to a Tom, and had kittens on my li'l brothers bed.. ^_^ They were so sweet!! We've kept two of them, and they are about 9 years old now..
Thanks for your comments James and Maree.
