The Cat

Spies above our eyes Poe lies, no cat so lowly foolish -- a reader of minds no blinds. Snow arriving unlike his paws, no cat to see from where Carl sat – the cat more slick as snow will snap, not a twig nor limb weightless -- No wonder, his image set in marble in temple, the consort of witches, a comfort for both old and child...the cat will always beguile, the unwritten Precious of Gollum….

Thank you, Victor; whether dog or cat lover, they are both our closest animal relations, often more loving and humanly loyal than we sometimes are. Horses are cool too. I guess other places it would be camels and elephants, whatever -- all good. Blessings my friend.

I can see you playing with words here to hide the true meaning of it for you, however i can see people will have interpreted it in their own way... thats poetry...

Hi Si; thank you. Just a fun piece, myself in awe of cats. I have caught my two on many occasions reading my mind, way out in front of me in the manipulation arena. Amazing creatures.

Quite an interesting and captivating poem with your profound wordplay and vivid creativity.. "The consort of witches" Your descriptions here are so brilliant and your writing style is unique... "The unwritten Precious of Gallum" Really that ending is amazing, I agree with Kim.. :)

Hi Hiya; just some fancy word-play, mental gymnastics that seems to have worked for a few folks -- I am pleased. Thank you. Blessings.

I think Gollum was a brilliant character, the entire Ring a great epic of imagination. Blessings my friend.
