A Cat Named Poe Poem by Thomas Case

A Cat Named Poe

Rating: 5.0


My autocrat of a
cat
sat on the pedestal
and watched me type.
His eyes, slits, like
slivers of emeralds.

He took a paw,
licked it, and
washed his despot face.
He owned me.
I did whatever he
wanted.
He sauntered off,
then turned and
watched, as I
took liberty with
truth, for the
sake of
imagination and creation.

I dreamed last
night that he could
talk.
He just said two words.

Lovely characterisation of your cat. The revelation that "He owns me" comes like a thunderbolt! Nice.5*
