Cat's Cradle Poem by June FeirCruz

Cat's Cradle

Rating: 4.8


Sad to say
You are just a cat's cradle to me
Just something to do
So I woudn't be so lonely

Just passing the time like a child's play
Of all the things I promised I wouldn't be
Like using people as Kleenex
Why did you let me?

How can I forget what I have become?
Such a hater with unkind thoughts in my mind
You better not put your finger on that string
Cat's cradle is my game

You better not put your finger on that string Cat's cradle is my game This says 'this is my territory so you better stay away.' I agree with Greenwolfe 1962, that the creative part of this is outstanding and very revealing self examination. Self examinations are good if they are used to correct the imperfections we ourselves believe we have. very nice write June, and I give this a 10, because of its stark, forthright language. Thank you for sharing. Love & hugs, Barbara

I gave this a nine because I highly recommend this poem. The creativity was outstanding and I thought it was a very revealing self-examination. The kind you rarely see. No guile. GW62
