A Feline Searching the Night

The feline is stalking without any talking; her silhouette walking in temptation. On prowl she is searching for someone who’s lurching, or prey that is perching in frustration. Her raven hair shining; her looks so refining; her thoughts are designing on sensation. Her green eyes are peering with looks that are leering for someone appearing in fixation. At last her eyes spying a vision complying; a gentleman trying for flirtation. Exchange of small talking without any balking, and off they go walking: culmination.

I can't believe that "How many syllables" place. Just ignore them!! Great job with violette. This is one I am eager to try soon. I love cats so I enjoyed your feline delight. In fact, my own cat is right here by the keyboard purring up a storm right now!!

Thanks, Andrea, I appreciate your comments. My daughter read this and said it certainly wasn’t about any of our cats, they are all house cats...and neutered. John

How clever this is. I haven't come up with anything for this contest yet, but reading yours inspires me. I love how you went about this witty, clever write, and how you delivered it. Well done. Shame on howmanysyllables (usually reliable). I think you have been a very busy CPA as of late so I hope your stress level is okay. All the best ... CayCay

Well done, John! The rhyming is on point, smooth and entertaining to read. "At last her eyes spying a vision complying" I like those lines! I also really love "her thoughts are designing on sensation" Always, Laura

Wow! John! I so love this poem. Totally blows me away. The rhymes are awesome, especially the last line in each stanza. The metaphorical theme also makes this a bit of a sensual write...I cannot say enough...Love it!

Thank you so much, Sandra. I am so glad I read your entry before I posted the one I originally wrote because I didn't understand the meaning of a feminine rhyme scheme. When done right it really makes a nicely flowing poem. John

excellent extended metaphor here, John. hadn't heard of a violette, why not list it under rhyme, though. Enjoyed the read.

Thanks for your comments, RAP, and thanks for taking the time to read my poetry. I listed it as "I Don't Know" because that is the way the contest sponsor wanted it. I will change it when the contest is over. John
