Looking for
um prato de leite
he walks around
Sedento, querendo
to drink sweet milk
mas tudo o que acha
is a bowl of water
Pobre gatinho
lonely and thirsty
Solta um miado
sad and loud
mas ninguém ouve
his lament
Agora deitado
curled in his basket
ele adormece
at the sound of a soft purr

I just managed to understand half of this Potuguese poem I don't know though why one half was so clear to me, and the other half not 
you have used coded language didn't you 
it's beeeaaauutiful I so want to have the kitty from Bob The Builder

It is pretty.
Good tatic to get portuguese for those people

This is sweet. Although I really understand only the English, I feel that the Portuguese meaning comes through somehow. Gatinho is kitten, prato de leite is a bowl of milk. Thank you for making this so easy for me to read.

Yes, it gives muitas idéias
You just learned a word today, ah, but doesn't fit here lol -
How cool, how creative how beautiful. I still need to translate the Port parts but I get the idea of it. I like this intermingling...give you any ideas?
Cute kitty...but mine is goofier!
I'd have done the same with my comment but umm, I don't know Port
