Caren Krutsinger Poet Free verse

The Life of a Cat

Cat sticks up her nose,
Parades  puffed up,
Completely important

Aloof, 
Haughty,
Unaware of anyone else.

She has needs of her own,
And they are all-important.
Groomed to be queen, 

She
Is condescending,
and delectably cruel,
Tenderly ignoring her subjects

Prideful of the rabbit's remains
she lovingly decapitated a few 
minutes ago and left on the door
step of her unknown barefoot
servant, who is about to scream.

Line Gauthier April 7, 2018 at 5:55 AM Beautiful description of a cat. A lovely read, Caren. Caren Krutsinger April 7, 2018 at 8:59 AM Thank you, Line. I imagine that you, also, are ruled by a cat family. My cat, named Shark, was aptly named. He has a little kill room.

Artsieladie Sharon Donnelly April 7, 2018 at 3:29 AM Ha ha I think you nailed it perfectly, Caren! Love kitties and cats for sure but they surely can be into and all about themselves. Meow! lol :) ~ Artsie xx Artsieladie Sharon Donnelly April 7, 2018 at 4:01 AM Thank you and I am enjoying visiting.
