Does this poem capture the essence of "Cat"?

Brilliant! Thank you for a truly beautiful poem.

"with leaping grace Cat takes its

place (a swirl of fur that

magically transforms into

one long sonorous

infinite felinity

of purrrrrr....)"

That is one of the best things I've ever read on the cat-scene - luscious English.

Have you read "Milk for the Cat" by Harold Munro? You both know your Cats.

I read this twice. The way you layer longer story-related prose is admirable, and something I have much trouble with. You make it seem effortless, natural, but all of us who write know the opposite is true. I often measure the effectiveness of a piece by the number of TD's........Jealousy rears it's green head. Kudos to you, Mr Carney.

I feel like a pussssy for answering

a poem about cats and such, but

hey....

since I now have my second cat

(my first ever croaked of a mild brain disorder)

I catnot say I cat'nt relate.

and cat hairs in my

marscapone I catn't deny.

Fine Cat Poem !

I could vision the movement, for sure.

Not a cat house lover, but a cat watcher, enjoy

watching their antics from my window,

they stray onto my property.

Nice pen.

Well I don't know how it hold essence of housecat, because to me, it seem to be more tiger or other predator cats.

I think it's lovely, wild, and quite unique. Superb imagery and wordplay. Love it!

!

...I love it!

.all the while

when I am

rehearsing to relax

you can hear me

chanting

'..be the cat..be the cat..

As a cat lover I think this is great. To me, it is original and creative. I enjoyed reading this. Thanks for sharing.

oh, i think t.s. eliot would even feel a bit of joy at this...cats were really his only joyful thing in life...

No, not really, the format is odd, and the language less than fresh.
