Vesna Kovrlija Poet Light Verse

My Cat

Sometimes, her big eyes say:
``I am jealous, I am proud,
    But I can`t say it aloud``

Sometimes, her beautiful eyes say:
``I am so pretty, can`t you see?
    And that`s why you must admire me``

Sometimes, her shiny eyes say:
``I am vain and very lazy,
    And occasionally a little bit crazy``

Sometimes, her golden eyes say:
``Despite all my faults, I love you
    And I can be very grateful and kind too``

Matthew Anish June 1, 2013 at 3:36 PM Cars are so mystical! I had a cat named Bilbo for many years. I liked the way you described the feline mystique. Have you ever read Rumi? I paid him a tribute in my last poem. Peace & Love Matthew Anish

Sara Kendrick February 10, 2013 at 2:12 PM Sometimes it seems through our pets actions and looks that they speak to us..Enjoyed reading your very descriptive work..If for a contest, it reads like a winner..Thanks for stopping by..Yes, spring seems to be in the air here but we could still have a winter blast won't be out of danger until around April or later..Sara

Richard Lamoureux February 3, 2013 at 12:11 PM I didn't realize you wrote a second cat poem, I think I like this one even better than the first one.

Russell Sivey February 3, 2013 at 11:17 AM This is an awesome and wondrous write my friend! I just love cats and their beautiful eyes, and yes all cats say these things that you have stated, the cats do speak through their eyes! I really enjoyed reading this tremendous poem this afternoon! What a fun loving piece, Great Work!!

Anne-Lise Andresen February 3, 2013 at 4:58 AM Agree with you ..... They "talk" with eyes and body - It is not difficult to understand a cat or a dog. - (I do not have a cat, but a dog) - Well done, SWEET! - Have a nice Sunday. - oxox / / Anne-Lise :)

Kim Merryman February 2, 2013 at 8:14 AM This is a very sweet write, Vesna! Cats have so many different expressions and personalities. I have a black cat who is more than just a little bit crazy! I enjoyed your poem! Love, Kim

Tim Ryerson February 2, 2013 at 6:03 AM Yes indeed!...And we don't adopt cats, they adopt us...I recently did some research on cats...they were first domesticated in ancient Egypt (pest control in exchange for food)...They are by far the most efficient hunters of all the feline family (there's nothing they can't catch when they mean business)...Bored yet? - Tim
