Poem Title:
Poem
Leave me alone, I yelled to the kitten The almost adult one that stood on my head It’s four in the morning and where is it written That I should wake up when you wish to be fed Leave me alone, I called to his brother Who walked over me as I struggled to rest Why don't you leave me and bother another How can I breathe when you stand on my chest Leave me alone, I say when I’m eating Nobody told you to mooch off my plate You better know as I watch you retreating That was my food that you carelessly ate It doesn’t matter that I may be sleeping Eating or resting or doing a chore These are my cats and they never stop creeping Over my dishes and in through my door Funny to know that whenever they bug me They like to purr just as loud as they can They show affection by how they are happy Knowing I love them as their biggest fan Leave me alone, is a phrase I am using Spoken more softly and always in vain What is the point when I know that I’m losing Leave me alone is like stopping the rain. Written and submitted November 12, 2021 To the "Leave Me Alone" poetry contest Sponsored by Mystic Rose Rose
