Poetry slam!

[Xantheeer]

Easy enough, every day I'll post a theme and you have to make a poem.

For every word you get one point.

The person with the most points gets one favour from me.
And gloating rights.

Good luck!

The theme is, cats!

Cats?
Why not bats?

(Yeah, I suck at poetry...)

 

[starstucker]

every feline prowling
the dark streets in late dusk is
something to be feared

cold lips brush softly
under the unnerving gaze
of gold and em'rald

i loved how you were
always so cold and distant
yet you were so warm

you would curl up on
my lap, or perhaps my side
and lull me to sleep

when i close my eyes
i think of you every time
everything you had

your cold callous gaze
your lingering silence in
the dimly lit air

your soft sleek body
under my soft careful hands
as we breathe calmly

nothing in the world
could have torn us apart right then
but then something did

perhaps if i loved
you more than i showed on the
outside, you'd be here

but alas, that is
not how fate has sang to us
it's a fantasy

i don't have you now
and i'm slowly breaking down
because we were close

too close for words.​

 

[Flip]

Disappearing under fingers
Fingers reaching, reaching
Help me live
They say, trembling
Elusive softness, out of reach
But the feeling is still there, once loved
Now lost
Coming and going, on catlike whim

Evade my fingers, but, at least
suffocate me

Fingers reaching, reaching
Help me live
They say, trembling
Elusive softness, out of reach
But the feeling is still there, once loved
Now lost
Coming and going, on catlike whim

Evade my fingers, but, at least
suffocate me

ooh, you're good.
