Best Purr Poems

The worst of the bright-cracks have passed.
The tumultiest of the bucketiest of the rains have proved not to last.
The cat has chirp-purred his way into a damp-fur snuggle.
    It’s Price is Right time, now.

There’s a secret number.
To determine from beneath the summer-weight...

Purr came crying one day to Pat,
"I'm black (sniff), and a 'bad luck' cat,
No harm I mean to souls around,
But seeing me, they turn around,
I want to play with them like you,
But shoo me out is all they do,
They say I'm (sniff) evil and black,
No,...

RE-PURR-CUSSIONS

I had gone out
with the “boys”
came home a week later.

She walked out on me
just left
looked over her shoulder
				only once…..

I had never seen that look before
					or since

she never came back…

I threw out her
litter box
a week later.

Purr Verse

Give me a mole or a moose or a mouse,
Make it quite small, or as big as a house,
Buy me a bear or a big ol' black bat,
But I beg you please, 
Do not give me a cat!

Mail me a whale or a wart...

she purrs ... contented
I feel stress leave my body
the sound of her purr
is like the rain on the roof
or ocean lapping the shore...

You came to my door,
The night I needed a friend the most
Unexpectedly, I smiled

You walked straight inside like I’ve known you all along
And we both knew in each other we did belong
It wasn’t hard to figure out, sweet angel
You came through that door
To restore my...

My somewhat outsize ears and longish neck 
(I swear exist, which contrary to popular myth 
never seen by living persons) support this egg shaped 
(fried or scrambled some might argue) head.

A mostly flat and hairless chest attests to a regular 
regimen of light (self-concocted) chest-pounding...

A kitten snuggles on your lap
and makes that purring sound.
Into your soul pours happiness	
and love is all around.

Your heart begins to slow its beat,
to keep time with that purr.
the sounds of peace fill up your mind,
while stroking that soft fur....

Temptress myrrh, lips cherry liqueur,
slinky stir, pulsing panther purr,
femme fatale’s flirt dangerous tease,
wild-cat style pounce you to your knees!

Sinuous, sensual gyrate,
animal allure consummate,
delicious grin, deadly as sin,
inside-out she will spin your skin. 

Prowling, growling and soft meow,
feline finesse, enchantress know-how...
tie you in knots, lie you...

There's an old woman that lives in a house full of cats;
they're all so lovable and fat, they will steal your heart.
Forever playing about the house with a stuffed mouse,
she is known as the Craz Cat Woman that's lost her cart.

In love with her cats;...

Waddling in like a drunken shadow,
my portly belly cannot pass unseen.
And once spotted, I meow my hello
regal-like, reaffirming I'm their queen.

I'm finicky and won't use my litter
unless it's paw-print deep and freshly cleaned.
And yet, though somewhat slow, I'm no quitter,
keeping myself meticulously preened.

I'm attended by...

There once was a kitty named Kelly 
Who watched his shows on the telly. 
When someone massaged his ears 
Kelly’s purr became clear 
And he became one cheerful felly....
