Good day to all those who are a part of humanity! I don’t know about you, but I am really enjoying image based poetry at the moment, I have absolutely no idea why! I guess its something about having a deeper connection with the piece of writing since its idea came from a photo I took… but in any case, its fun, and if your brain is drained, and you want to do some writing to relax, I would definitely recommend this!

Sadly, the featured fatness in this photo is currently sick, but she is getting better, and just the other day she finally finished a bowl of food that she would have finished in seconds on a normal day. This picture shows her ferocity while defending a plant and its pot that she uses as a scratching pole and a nap bed.

Gonna sound like a broken record, but remember that we are all humans, and none of us are perfect, and if we were, that would be really boring. (If you’re wondering, that was a badly phrased version of a quote from Misty Copeland, a famous principle dancer in the American ballet.) Keeping that in mind, if you do have any comments, and are unsure of how to do it, see the navigation page in the contents bar at the top of the blog.

Having said that, I have babbled on about a cat and a drained brain in the time it could have taken for you to read my actual poem, so without any more hassle, au revoir 🥖🥐…

The cat
So solemnly beautiful
Yet so hastily ferocious
Watching your every move
Remembering each one with excruciating detail

Their fur so soft
Their eyes so sinister
Following you with them wherever you go
Waiting for the perfect moment
Pouncing flawlessly every time

So many breeds, so many categories
Labelled by what they are worth
By what they look like 
And what they feel
Constantly itemized by our superior species

Until they prove they are alpha
With their violent hissing 
And grazing swipe
They slit with malicious accuracy
But underneath all that remains...

A fluffy, silky, unimpeachable cat.
