Margaret Foster Poet Rhyme

Notes About The Poem

Loyal love contest , sponsor mystic Rose Rose. 19/3/25  
This is an old one , hope that's allowed. 

 

 

The three legged cat

Rescue haven, a stray little cat
front leg mangled, fur all matt.
No fluffy toy, this poor wee mite
eyes full of trust, denying his plight.

Minus his leg, fur closely shorn,
cuddled in blanket, cosy and warm.
Petted, pampered, he thrived and grew
soft velvet fur. A Russian Blue.

He rules the roost, this regal cat,
his lair… my bed, kingdom my flat.
Beautiful beast so much adored,
faith in this world, renewed, restored.

Fills up my life with sparkle bright,
just being near holds true delight.
My shadow now this ball of fluff,
his trusting eyes, reward enough.

Andrea Dietrich March 19, 2025 at 12:38 PM wow, I wish he were mine. My two are pampered but they act almost like I do not exist, and I wish for nothing more than a loving cat like the one I had nearly 25 years ago. I really miss her. Great poem on a cat. Margaret Foster March 19, 2025 at 10:35 PM Thank you Andrea, he’s a beauty isn’t he. However he’s not mine, I’m a dog person, I have a five year old papillon and he’s my constant companion. Thank you for reading and commenting. Hugs.
