Add I will even make the first entry
Calendar kitty with eyes of blue
From the painter of sky
was stolen this hue
That must explain why
Out my window it’s gray
Zander’s hypnotic gaze
Is what I needed todayPosted 4 years ago by MeezerMama in OK; 10/23 #

This site represents cat poems written by French children - unfortunately(!?) in French.

I'm not a poet, and I can't take credit for this one, but I like it. You may have seen it before, but it's cute.
A Cat's Prayer
Now I lay me down to sleep,
I pray this cushy life to keep.
I pray for toys that look like mice,
And sofa cushions, soft and nice.
I pray for gourmet kitty snacks,
And someone nice to scratch my back,
For window sills all warm and bright,
For shadows to explore at night.
I pray I'll always stay real cool
And keep the secret feline rule--
To NEVER tella human that
The world is really ruled by CATS!Posted 4 years ago by MaxandCali'sMom #

For all things fluffy
I thank the Lord
When the world makes me huffy
or when I'm just bored
I can come see the kitten
And chat with my friends
From California to Britain

The Stray
Yellow eyes that watch so intently
Half close guarding mysterious thoughts
Ominous eyes focus on the kill
In darkness the silent cat huntsHapless victim in your claws
A meager meal for the night
Back to the den found in an abandoned place
Slinking back to hideA wish for a warm place with no enemies
Safety is nothing but a dream
Still dignity cannot be taken from you
Shivering as you curl up to sleepThe streets are what you have for a home
Though I wish you would come to me
I'd open my door, take you in my arms
Give you a safe place to sleepOh stray cat I watch every night
Do you know how much I love you
I long to give you a safe home to live
And to hold you as you purrI wish you would trust
I wish you would understand
Until then I can only watch and pray
And hope that you will come home to mePosted 4 years ago by owlwatcher_974 #

Actually, it's just something I came up with just a few minutes ago. It started as I was looking into Shiva's yellow eyes then turned into something different. I just started thinking of all the strays that I used to feed and worked so hard to tame until they became my cats.

my second patio cat has the strangest yellow eyes, and since he came inside 3 days ago and has made himself quite at home, your poem fit to a tee! Believe he was a throw-away or just got lost from his family somehow, because he is quite at home being inside.

Owlwatcher, that brought tears to my eyes. I wish all cats could have a loving home. I feel so full of despair that they don't.

My favorite cat poem.
The Cat and the Moon
The cat went here and there
And the moon spun round like a top,
And the nearest kin of the moon,
The creeping cat, looked up.
Black Minnaloushe stared at the moon,
For, wander and wail as he would,
The pure cold light in the sky
Troubled his animal blood.
Minnaloushe runs in the grass
Lifting his delicate feet.
Do you dance, Minnaloushe, do you dance?
When two close kindred meet,
What better than call a dance?
Maybe the moon may learn,
Tired of that courtly fashion,
A new dance turn.
Minnaloushe creeps through the grass
From moonlit place to place,
The sacred moon overhead
Has taken a new phase.
Does Minnaloushe know that his pupils
Will pass from change to change,
And that from round to crescent,
From crescent to round they range?
Minnaloushe creeps through the grass
Alone, important and wise,
And lifts to the changing moon
His changing eyes.-- William Butler Yeats

AZDEBRA did you see my post about our new kitty, Oliver?
We think he was a drop off too. He picked our house and
is here to stay.Posted 4 years ago by SammyandOliversmama #

"if I were rich enough
I'd follow Autumn everywhere
Paint my home in Shelley's orange
and brown and hectic red;
rub tincture of turning leaves
onto my own limbs to motley
my skin into a panoply
of hues; buy potted trees
and fill my darkened rooms with them,
inject them full of October
until I lay ankle deep in fallings..."

Oh that was lovely, Sullis! Maybe now that Ivory Bill has found us again, he will treat us to some of his poetry? As was the fall poem, reminds me of why this is my favorite season; the intense blue of the sky, the bright yellow of the cottonwoods, the rustle of the leaves as they fall....and then a moment of sadness as I recall that poignant scene from Bambi when the two leaves are discussing falling...
