A Cat's Curiosity

A Cat's Curiosity
©copyright 2009 Bonita M Quesinberry


Dear Lord, I've become a scientist, of sorts;
not by man's vague theoretical reports,
but by Your logical facts my mind would court.

I think You must have given me a sponge for a brain,
for it soaks up ev'rything, ev'rywhere to my gain. 
And, surely, You gave me a cat's curiosity 
that I seek and share even what is thought oddity.

Dear Lord, I've become a scientist, of sorts;
not by man's vague theoretical reports,
but by Your logical facts my mind would court.

If I do not know it, then somehow I must know it,
thus learned of Your mys'tries, the heavens and spirit.
You've given knowledge even scientists do not know, 
the resemblance of Your world and our earth here below. 

Dear Lord, I've become a scientist, of sorts;
not by man's vague theoretical reports,
but by Your logical facts my mind would court.

I think You must have given me a sponge for a brain;
it soaks up all yet never forgets, all to all gain. 
And, surely, You gave me a cat's curiosity 
that, when found, I share even what is thought oddity.

    Hoodwinked!!!!!

    Very beautiful written. I really like the repetition with the two specific stanzas. The rhyming flows very nicely with the whole piece as well. And I really love the picture and the title. Great job my dear poet and keep it up.

    Always write from the heart
    Never give up

    excellent!

    I really like what you have written using the prompt provided. The title initially attracted me, because I am a cat lover.
    Becoming a scientist of sorts is a special gift that we are given, and you tell the story so well in your poem.
    The repetitiveness of certain stanzas is very effective.

    Good luck in this contest!
