Caren Krutsinger Poet Roundel

A Funny Roundel

My silent calico has stopped eating to give me that look.
I will ignore her, she is only a wonderful cat, right?
I know she will soon be between me and my mystery book.
I am her faithful adoring minion and she knows it well.

I dare not even peek out of my secret well-hidden nook.
I do not have to pay attention, at her green eyes so bright.
Snuggles will see me, and she will give me that all-knowing look.


I am clearly a cat mama, and she has me on a hook.
I feel helpless, and my princess feline has me in her sight.
Now she is sitting between me and a fantastic good book.
I am her faithful adoring minion and she knows it well.

M. L. Kiser February 21, 2019 at 2:16 AM HA! Yes, they do know it; great Roundel; best of luck with the contest. Caren Krutsinger February 21, 2019 at 7:21 AM Thank you. This is my first roundel, and not easy. It is my fifth attempt, but the only one that got put down on paper as I was satisfied with none of the others.

Rhona Mcferran February 20, 2019 at 10:31 PM Excellent work, very true-to-life roundel!! ;) Caren Krutsinger February 21, 2019 at 12:30 AM I know that you know that we know that cats act like this.

P.S. Awtry February 20, 2019 at 1:11 PM Whatever the form is, you made it look easy with this precious poem... I love that you know that cat is going to get between you and your book! Caren Krutsinger February 20, 2019 at 3:23 PM My daughter has a cat that always sits in her arms between her and her book, I-pad and whatever. I was basing it off her. My cat knows I am deathly allergic. He is outside, but inside in my little cottage when it is this BRRRR cold. I like cats.
