My Tom Cat "ponch"

My tom cat Ponch can be a gentleman In many more ways than one He’s a lean, handsome, riotous Unassuming and street smart His word is his bond you can be sure He speaks his mind on time He has no patience for pretense He purrs and purrs until I stir So cajoling he can be My tom cat Ponch can be a wild child With a gift for verse and prose He lights my furnace and melts my heart He serenades with poetic words He’s romantic and full of passion And though not rich, yet I still will keep His heart as good as gold ‘Cause he purrs and purrs until I stir So obliging I want to be

I am a bit afraid to stir much on this one Audrey. For I don't know for sure if tom cat Ponch is being a gentleman, or is a gentleman. Smile. At any rate your poem is neat, and cool. Is written very well. Sincerely, Love, Moses

I have three cats. You can imagine what I go through every morning. Each one has their own personality and their own way of waking me up in the morning when they want to be fed. Nice free verse!---Milt

Interesting cat that you have there. I suppose that he is a early riser that wants everyone to be up when he hits the floor. Good luck if it is an entry in the contest. Keep the creative pen flowing. Thanks for the comments on my poem. Sara

Ponch sounds like he brings a lot of joy to your life, even if his purring "stirs" (perhaps waking you when you wish to sleep). Seems like you have developed quite a bond with him and I hope he's in your life for many years to come. Very nice poem! Love, Carolyn
