Hatred ~ An act of pretence

Missing image
Hatred is a gift of God; go on use it,
Bitter like lemon; firmly squeeze it.

I hate my cat since she’s broken my antique porcelain
I used to like her, but now I treat her with disdain.

It was in the kitchen, where it all began,
I noticed her gnawing on a cheese flan,
She startled, as soon as she caught my sight,
I ran after her, she too sprinted with fright!

She whizzed across the kitchen floor,
and cunningly escaped through the flap door,
She crossed over the hurdles like an athlete,
I failed to grab her, she was fast on her feet.

All over the house, I chased her around,
down went the Vase, it crashed to the ground.
I was tormented, my every attempt did fail,
Plan-B; I dodged her, she was caught by her tail.

I yelled out foul language and threw tempered tantrum,
Slapped her endlessly, like a pendulum’s fulcrum,
Kicked her out of the door; stupid four legged canine,
Rap of unrhymed swear-words followed the swine.


Author notes

Though the contest is for the new poems, I've used a few stanzas from a pre-written poem that I wrote a few years back, but the rest is new... hope it's okay, if not then please feel free to remove it from the contest...

The subject of hatred is a "Cat"
