John Gondolf Poet Rhyme

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.

Andrea Dietrich March 24, 2018 at 4:39 PM 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!! John Gondolf March 24, 2018 at 5:10 PM 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

CayCay Godwin March 22, 2018 at 6:39 PM 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 John Gondolf March 23, 2018 at 5:32 AM Hi CayCay, thanks for your visit and comments. Yes, been quite busy and stressful lately, PS is my stress reliever. Looking forward to Apr 15th. Hope all is well in VA. John

Laura Breidenthal March 22, 2018 at 11:05 AM 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 John Gondolf March 22, 2018 at 11:12 AM Laura, thanks so much for your wonderful comment. This was a fun poem to write and I'm glad that other enjoy reading it as well. John

Rhoda Tripp March 22, 2018 at 5:01 AM 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! John Gondolf March 22, 2018 at 5:49 AM Thank you so much, Rhoda, I appreciate your comments and encouragement. John

Laura Leiser March 21, 2018 at 9:47 PM Absolutely LOVE this poem, John! Love the flow, rhythm, imagery...I can just feel that cat stalking around!

Sandra Haight March 20, 2018 at 5:02 PM Wow, John, you have mastered the form so well! An excellent poem and very entertaining! Should be a top winner for sure. Sandra :):) John Gondolf March 20, 2018 at 5:33 PM 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

Probir Gupta March 20, 2018 at 10:13 AM beautiful poem ... enjoyable culmination ... John Gondolf March 20, 2018 at 12:01 PM Thanks for your comments, Probir, I appreciate it. John

Reason A. Poteet March 20, 2018 at 5:54 AM excellent extended metaphor here, John. hadn't heard of a violette, why not list it under rhyme, though. Enjoyed the read. John Gondolf March 20, 2018 at 6:13 AM 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
