Written last summer, late in the evening. Virginia Salter It’s time to go to bed the cat is pleading Her eyes are big and sad my heart is bleeding She plies me with her writhing around and through my legs she climbs half up my frame her mewing cries to beg Then taps me on the shoulder with four nails extended Down again to move to grab my leg two-handed Pacing to and fro forward and aft So sadly she does go surely thinks I’m daft To spend so much time in front of this keyboard Typing forms of poesy ‘bout kitties and the Lord. © July 24, 2000 |

...this is neat! A poem about a kitten who is competing for your affection, while you compose a poem about a kitten who is competing for your affection...while your kitten is pleading for your attention...as you write about a kitten who is pleading for your attention...while your kitten... I think the kitten suceeded, and I'm glad he did! Jellybean King |
