Moment Of The Pounce, by Brian37 (Aka Brian James Rational Poet and @brianrrs37 on twitter).
I met you when you were an ounce
In a cat rescue, you were lost
Bullied like me you took to me
The moment I stepped foot
Into your room of frey
Where all the cats were competing
For a permanent home
You knew you were alone
But in the shark infested waters
Amongst all those furballs
You parted the Red Sea
And brought attention to me
As soon as I walked in
To pick my next cat
I look around wondering
Where to go
I looked here
I looked fro
I wondered if
I could ever know
If the cat that had passed
The one that passed
Could I ever ever
Replace?
But my mother insisted
No matter my depression
The cat I lost prior
I must make an attempt
And that I did
He hugged my leg
And my current cat
Is my best friend.
I would rather
Spend my last dime
My last second
In cosmic time
With a pet
As loyal as Sarah
My best friend cat
Love lives forever..
END..
This poem is about how depressed I was when my last cat Payton died. But later got a cat I named Sarah.. I still am scared emotionally what I will feel when Sarah reaches that point. But the point of the poem, is that life is finite, regardless of human or pet, and all of us move on, and remember what we leave behind.
