Serious Trouble Is Prowling

Serious trouble is prowling.
There’s snow, mew-mew meowing.
Those steel-blue eyes, mesmerizing.
Serious trouble is prowling.

His tail’s not tucked between his legs -
Stands up like a towering keg.
In his haunt, he’ll never beg.
His tail’s not tucked between his legs.

Trouble’s whiskers, like a great ‘stache.
Fur looks pettable, but claws clash.
The calico cat - would-be ash.
Trouble’s whiskers, like a great ‘stache.

Snow’s low-down, to the ground, alone,
and doesn’t want his cover blown.
He eats and reaps the seeds he’s sown.
Snow’s low-down, to the ground, alone.

The girl called him “Snow” - he’s “Trouble.”
He turned the household to rubble.
Was kicked out of cash-cow bubble.
The girl called him “Snow” - he’s “Trouble.”

Don’t feel sorry - keep up your guard.
He’ll lie his way into your yard.
A shark, remember he plays cards.
Don’t feel sorry - keep up your guard.

Serious trouble is prowling.
There’s snow, mew-mew meowing.
Those steel-blue eyes, mesmerizing.
Serious trouble is prowling.

My goodness, what a pretty little bundle of trouble! One wouldn't think it to see him! I loved this suspenseful poem! I was thinking when I saw this, aw, I want a cat!! But then you made me double-guess myself...maybe not this one!!

The image of the cat like a ball of wool with its tail not tucked between its legs and the poem on it are equally mesmerizing, Kim....

Wow! Perfect, mesmerizing poetry. A POTD from me, anyway. "Those steel-blue eyes, mesmerizing. Serious trouble is prowling." It is tempting to kick them out...but then the meowing turns to purring...steel eyes become more endearing than threatening~ I'm a sucker I know.

Kim, Your writing is fairly flawless, and the content shows that you have a deep understanding of the topic at hand. How adorable is it that a poem that really should have been called Trouble?

Trouble is an adorable name for that little cutie. I had a Himalayan who looked exactly like this one. She was a sweetheart, but sometimes got into trouble, too. Love this one, Kim.
