Notes About The Poem

Hell Cat Queen

Hell Cat Queen

Oh, Mayling Lou dearest, my heart’s elation
On Halloween you’ll be a possessed abomination
Neither purr nor mew
pussyfooting   Boo!
You are tonight’s sweet spooky sensation!

‘Tis you I love kitty, dark Mayling Lou
Your surreptitious sly purrs make a goddess of you
But come Halloween
You’re my hell cat queen
Your love and friendship I both cherish and rue
                                                               by Robert Gorelick

I love you too, but tonight is the night  
I sit on a broomstick, holding on tight  
Flying behind a witch 
To satisfy an itch  
Don’t wait up, hell cat’s gonna be alright
                                                                by Beryl Edmunds

I Am Anaya November 1, 2024 at 10:55 AM I agree with Michael. I see Beryl's too! Perfect for Dia De Los Muertos. Queen's rule whether kind or evil. RG

Michael Tor November 1, 2024 at 12:38 AM Poetry at its best here Robert. You have captured a transformation from Goddess to Hell Cat. If only Chrysler could have Mayling Lou as their official Hell Cat representing in the Hell Cat Demon line of Sports car. I can picture the pictures you shared painted on the Sports car. She owns the night especially on Halloween. Clever theme, great Poem, and pictures show cases your Darling by day and Hell Cat by night. Enjoyed reading my friend, thank you for sharing...
