the Poet

I received some inspirations to write a free verse poem. My female human has been driving us crazy with her talk of poetry. She is conduction writing classes at school focused on teaching young ones the art of poetry. I though I would give my paw a try at writing.

Silent, Stalking
I pounce,
Lint, you are mine!
You shall not escape my deft paws!
But yet,
Do I care?

What's this?
A box?
Better yet, a bag!
Crinkle, crinkle
Sweet, sweet plastic joy!
My bag!

Human beware
Slap!
My paw strikes
Hissssssssss!

Naptime, I think
Purrrrr!
I massage my blanket soft
I curl up,
tuck in my head.

Browl?
"Don't wake me!"
Blue eyes glare;
Stare down the threat to my rest
Eventually...
Almond eyes close
... and I Drift
...Drift
Drift
to sleep once more.
