Cat Poems

Hello Poetry Lovers

What a find in an impromptu book sale! This is a real gem. Full of pieces about our felines!

It was a hard choice but I’ve selected two on here. Even the non-cat lover will like these. Read on

Cat

There are too many poems

About cats. Beware of cat

Lovers, they have a hidden

Frustration somewhere and will

Stick you with it if they can.

Kenneth Rexroth

And what’s wrong with that, Mr Rexroth?! That’s what I’d like to know!

Then I found this fantastic piece from Stevie Smith. Read on….

The Hound Puss

I have a cat: I call him Pumpkin,

A great fat furry purry lumpkin.

Hi-di-diddle

hi-diddle

dumpkin.

He sleeps within my bed at night,

His eyes are Mephistopheles-bright:

I dare not look upon their blight.

He stalks me like my angry God,

His gaze is like a fiery rod:

He dines exclusively on cod.

Avaunt, you creeping saviour-devil,

Away with thy angelical evil!

Stevie Smith

Weren’t they beautiful pieces that sum up our feelings for cats?! Watch this space for more feline action!

Thanks for tuning in, PL’s. We’ll be back with more poetry shenanigans real soon…..
