Sandra Haight Poet Footle

Notes About The Poem

Fussy Cat

   Cat stirs
        Then purrs

   Yawns, sighs
        Makes cries

   M e o w
        Wants chow

   Seeks dish
        No fish

   Dried food
        Bad mood

   Eyes stare
        With glare

   Stands still
        To chill

   No win
        Gives in

   At last
        Eats fast

   Next scene
        Dish clean

Mark Toney March 24, 2019 at 10:14 PM Sandra, excellent Footle Series! This is the only Footle that has placed in the last 26 Poetry Marathon contests! Congratulations on your win on Mile 26 of my 2019 Poetry Marathon Contest. Only 1 contest to go before the final! ~Mark Sandra Haight March 24, 2019 at 10:31 PM Thank you so much, Mark! I thought I'd go with something light and cute, and am pleased that I made your winner's list. It doesn't seem possible that there's only one mile left before the final! Sandra :)

Andrea Dietrich April 5, 2015 at 12:19 AM great job. I fear I did it wrong. I have never used footles to tell stories, I just do them the original way, making a joke with the titles of them. HOpe I can make some time to try it out this way!!

Richard Lamoureux April 4, 2015 at 8:46 AM Kit Kat puss fat. Sorry couldn't resist. These ate cute! Sandra Haight April 5, 2015 at 10:17 AM so psyched you liked !!!

Maurice Yvonne April 3, 2015 at 10:01 AM This is just excellent Sandra! You've been able to turn a Footle poem into verse that tells a clear concise story poetically. Sandra Haight April 3, 2015 at 4:29 PM I had a fussy cat at one time....you can read my reply to Tammy below about where my inspiration came for this one! This form is really a lot of fun! Thank you for your encouraging comment! Sandra

Tammy Reams April 2, 2015 at 9:02 AM This is so cute Sandra! I love the picture with the poem. I have to read this one to my sister she has a cat that fits this theme. Sandra Haight April 2, 2015 at 8:41 PM Thank you, Tammy, I appreciate your nice comments. We had a cat, that we adored, but he would only eat cooked liver! And, we gave in--he lived to be 20! The memory of that kind of inspired me for this poem! Thanks again, Hugs, Sandra
