"morris" the Manx

"Morris" The Manx 

A "tailess" menace is what he can be..
Getting into everything; so full of energy!

A cheshire grin, a pair of big mischievous eyes..
Jumping out of nowhere, he likes to surprise!

He prances around, chasing everything freestyle.
Frolicking about, I have to smile.

Running like a rabbit, he climbs up a tree!
Clawing his way back down with such gallantry!

This "tailess" menace, noble, smart and robust!
I just love my waggish Manx in all his glorious zaniness!

My father had a Manx as a child who found his way back home to Philly from Atlantic City. BTW, a semi-colon is used to divide two complete sentences. You should use a comma after "frolicking about." *****Danielle*****

I LOVE this poem, and at just this particular time. We took in a kitten a few weeks ago...tiniest thing you ever have seen, shivering in the zero cold. Talk about a little fiend! I can't take my eyes off her....her beady eyes, long string tail, long body...and those claws! LOOK OUT! Boy does she liven up this old house. Congrats on this fine selection. Love, daver

Fun - I love cats - I'm allergic though. A nice tribute to your Manxy Morris.

Congratulations on having your poem featured this week. Your Manx sounds delightfully fun. Using couplets was a good choice. It adds to the playfulness of your poem. It was fun to read. Always, Dane
