The Poet and his Muse
By Stormcat
I work
otherwise to survive!
I need to
write a poem now
but my
kitten wants attention
she needs it
NOW and she is so
wonderful
that I can't deny it.
How could I?
She is why I
live. So how can I
ever think
of anything ahead
of tending
to her every need.
So what,
that I have to write.
So what,
that I have to work!
What a
pleasure to be with
such
compelling beauty who
admires my
ability to protect
and conquer
and provide.
Big loving
eyes, long black hair . . .
It's natural
for me. I am a man
of men and being
thus I desire
her, as she
is woman of women.
Everything I
do is for her!!!!!
I come home
to her . . .
She gets
inside my coat and
looks up at
me, closes her big
green eyes
and basks in warm
protection.
Safe at last!!!!!
Alas, I am
but a slave!
"I am a man of men and being thus I desire her, as she is woman of women." beautiful lines. I loved the flow of the poem and the imagery involved. A delightful read it was. :)

I don't have a cat but I can imagine how warm & loving her companionship is ~
ReplyDeleteAlas we are but a slave to our loved ones, smiles ~
The urge to nurture is part of every human being, I think - but with me, it's people, not cats! LOL:)
ReplyDeleteWow it never occurred to me in writing this that anyone would think my kitten was feline rather than human . . . Perhaps the diminutive kitten should have been capitalized to make it clear that kitten is a loving expression of my significant other . . .
ReplyDeleteA lot of guys love pussy cats! Merry Christmas!
ReplyDeleteOh, I hear you on this. Sometimes I feel guilty when I am writing poetry....when I should be paying attention to my dogs. They are so much of my reason for being, but yet sometimes I put their needs aside for poetry. Yes, I hear you indeed!!
ReplyDeleteI've often felt those itchy urges myself, when i want to write but i can't due to some or the other work. I love the way you've portrayed the kitten as a very pretty lady. You've given her a personality of her own.
ReplyDeleteVery cool name for a snowflake.......& your kitty is a lucky lady.
ReplyDeleteJealous you have a kitten. There isn't any creature more alluring and adorable when a babe, I think. (I hope my cats aren't reading over my shoulder or I fear they will be wrestling the Christmas tree to the ground in protest). Hope you have a beautiful holiday season.
ReplyDeletePS: The yellow mug was unrepairable, but has now gone into service as a container for fresh flowers. I couldn't part with it. :)
a willing slave, at that ~
