Everyday is like that for me and thank heavens somertimes I'm able to write a poem that will not come back and bite me. Well done Karla, you hit the nail right on the head of that black cat.. Meowwww

Hey, Babe!! I'm back at de mo and JUST LOVIN THIS!!! Can so relate on both levels and know these feelings WELL - cats usually give me their rear views to consider and arch their backs at me if I crowd their space! Must be the dog in me (oops, nearly said the female version!) Yep, I felt like this particularly with my Surreal write - you know what the bits are and where they should perhaps go, but it just won't let you pick it up and stroke it, will it?! Poetry and cats - brilliant; yes, they are the same thing. Great simile. Thank you for missin me, Hon!! LOL Kate xx

*purrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrring contentedly~*

delightful anological poem, Karla; take a bow! Your talents have struck again!! BRAVA!!

(((HUGS))) and much love, your twin sister, Karen Lynn. :D

And then there are the times it
thinks I am its litter box

Funny, I feel that way very often!

This poem strikes my eyes, mind and ears; "Finicky" has an esoteric energy that prods imagination.

I THINK THAT THIS POEM WOULD BE RICHER without this end:
>>>>>> "do those same people feel the same way about poetry?" < < < <
This LINE as closing line KILLS the symbolistical magic of the composition. IT WILL PRODUCE A BETTER IMPACT IF IT ENDS AS,
>>> "No wonder some people hate cats..." < < < This is the closing line
that will make this little poem a GIANT!

I salute You, Poet!

Rufuz says he will take care of your kitty problem...LOL! Ed

Excellent poem Karla! sometimes we all feel
like the doo doo in the litter;-) that's when
we learn how to growl the best...

Love,

I love cats, that is why I love poetry! Good write, Karla!

Oftentimes if someone hates animals. They tend to not like much except the self.
Good point. But nope. I know of a cat hater who is a famous minister and loves poetry..

Quite an analogy, Karla. But you're right: it has a way of taking over, doesn't it. Good job.

lol!! My, I for one could never ever hate cats or poetry, but I can see the comparison and it makes sense!! Loved this, and that photo- WOW!!

Listen to Sage, the all-knowing, dynamite Lesbian sage. Seriously, there are days, like the last three, that I cam emphasize with ya.

kewl write and easy to see the similarities sometimes lol

Perhaps it's time to "change the litter box" and write prose. Either way, poetry or prose can be hard on the nose! Interesting question, Karla. Freshen's the air!
