Curiosity Killed The Cat Poems | Examples


Premium Member Curiosity Killed the Cat

Curiosity, killed the cat
I’m also thrilled to be like that
I could’ve chilled my body fat
Or simply filled the place I sat

But something got me to my feet
When I had sought to be discrete
For when I thought about defeat
I knew my doubt was not complete
 
I had this dance to seek and find
The true romance I left behind
To look askance for she won’t mind
Or take the chance that love is blind

I might have stayed the timid soul
Who made the game but not the goal
Who bade the heart to win the role
But never paid the price in full

Until my date was late to be
The strait of my eternity
The perfect mate to share with me
My state of curiosity.

Curiosity Killed the Cat

The cat in a hat 
Looked longingly at the mat
Never to mew with a mate
Regrets were too late.

All it took was an excuse in necessity
Yet it was all because of curiosity
Once stranded in the city
Lamented the mendacity

He remembered the whispers,
The wistful tones,
Of joys untold, out there in the city
Paved with milk and honey.

Oh, naïve cat,
Oh guileless cat,
So out of your depth,
Frustrated and miserable,
Time is up.

The adage holds true,
Yet you couldn’t tell from that clue
curiosity does kill cats!


Curiosity Killed the Cat

Curiosity killed the cat
How far will we go
To perpetuate self-destruction
Wallowing in self pity
Until our throats close up.
Staccato sounds and guttural groans
Unintelligible murmurs
Morse code on my shoulder
Giving way to the last request 
For open communication.

Curiosity killed the cat
Did you bring your night vision goggles?
We’ll venture deep into the foliage
Tonight we’ll test boundaries.
Is it malleability or elasticity
Of that which we push off from
Trying to reap what we’ve sown
From the greener grass.

Curiosity killed the cat
But the cat was always dead
No fur balls to hack
For strapped to its back
Was a ticking time pack
With old brass buttons
It couldn’t help to press.

Curiosity Killed the Cat

Unable to think
My lungs seemed to shrink
The pressure of this news 
Could have been avoided if I followed the clues 
The way people stared at my eyes 
Like I was evil in disguise 
Goodbye to the good Christian I was
Chased away by the devils applause 
Another innocent soul  
Now under his control 
I can feel the evil growing inside 
As I become my powers unknowing bride 
How can I be good 
Apparently misunderstood
When I had been raised to believe in the devil's tricks 
My feelings are becoming intermixed
A grey area is created 
Hopefully these thoughts can be translated 
What was the saying my mother spat
Oh yes curiosity killed the cat

Curiosity Killed the Cat

Unleash the kitty
The little boy thought of himself witty
Locked up in his room infront of the screen
Submerged in the screams
A lasting string that will follow him to his teens

Internet tasted like mint, to him
Abundant and innovative, yet aromatic to
His flaming desires
And that national geographic! 
Oh my oh my
Exotic women in their little strings
Covering their little things

Curiosity Killed the Cat

We look up in wonder at the stars,
We ponder on there being life on Mars,
And so we've sent a craft to see,
A marvellous thing called "Curiosity".
And on the surface of the big red rock,
The last of its kind looks up in shock,
As from the sky there falls a star,
Which has travelled there from afar.
Then the star begins to slow,
And the last Martian feline down below,
Stares in wonder, as a chute deploys,
Soon followed by the strangest noise,
As the thrusters ignite to stop,
The rapidity of the strange craft's drop.
And then the craft begins to lower,
A separate large object from below her,
Which lands upon the creature's head,
Leaving it squashed and very dead!
Now just how terribly ironic is that?
"Curiosity" killed the cat!

Curiosity Killed the Cat

teacup, fat...round.
you're not from here.
boxed up...reminiscence of a past, light coating.
push my brain to think when it just wants to avert attention.
but surprisingly, intrigue.
go figure...
sexy, hott, smooth...but that is unknown.
words glide with ease with lips that could take your breath away.
a lingering weapon...pounce..and taken away, entranced.
question me, ill question you.
yet, there still more to learn.
