Pounce

Is this what you wanted to see?
What I'm..."like"
Me? I'm like a cat.
Perfectly content
Studying..
Waiting to make my move
I can let you pass
or
Eat you alive.
Depends on how hungry I am.

Cover you like a shadow,
Wrap you in myself,
Then
Smother you.
Making your every breath painful.
Your last longing will be for death.

What's the matter pretty?
Cat got your tongue?

Author notes

Curiousity will never kill this cat...This cat will kill curiousity.

    OH

    HOLY
    COW

    I've been reading through your poetry, and you've got me hooked. The imagery's beautiful, and the way you end each poem is utterly incredible. And the cat in this piece is just so...insanely confident in his sadistic little way, it's breathtaking.

    Favourited, favourited, and favourited.

  • *grin*

  • sick, sly, sadistic

    i love it.

  • This was a different styling poem. It had a firey motion i cnat put my finger on flowing through out your words. I can taste the darkness in it. Lovely

  • great ending to a very intriguing poem. I can't help but think of my exwife! lol I like the lines "perfectly content studying, waiting to make my move". Very cat like indeed. An enjoyable read.

  • I agree

    I'm a fragile sort of man... You've killed my curiousity entirely!

  • I like this a lot. It is deep, dark and forboding. I like your imagery. Keep writing.

    Gold

    All you can try and do is come out with gold. Thats wicked cool. Great in fact. Simply short and perfect.

  • I love feline imagery for women. 'Cover you like a shadow' is in my opinion the strongest line, and the last two give the poem a lighter tone that I think works to its advantage. I find that the last line of the first stanza disrupts the flow of the poem

  • wow i like that alot. never read anything like that. its a very powerful poem and it makes you sound very confidnt in it. i love that!

  • In regards to---

    Your last line--My answer is Yes!--And I am Pretty_ How did you know?-True feeling is talent and you express it well!

    horrible world

    After a good first line, why so much gloom? What on earth has the rest of the world - not just the people and parts of the US she knows- actually done? No beautiful world out there?

  • What an oddly enticing poem. So well written and beautiful description. I look forward to reading more of your work.

    Ferocity

    I really like this for it shows that you have some passion and knowledge of what it is that you want or should I say what it means to be a woman of this day and age (ahem! albeit whom am I to say for I am but a man).

    I like it, I like it so!

    No matter how much the cats fight, there always seem to be plenty of kittens.Abraham Lincoln (1809 - 1865)

    I rather enjoy the persona of a fierce predator to metaphor the "hunt" that we all entertain. Nothing in this world rivals falling prey to a confidant woman.

    That is badassed.
    The speak of suffocation is described here as so satisfying and pleasurable by the hunter.

    don't eat me...

    i love the threatening cast over the entire piece. as already noted it has beautiful tonal quality. i especially love how casual the "death threat" and how you follow up with,

    "Depends on how hungry I am."

    awesome!
    peace

    awesome!

    This made me smirk..in a knowing way. I LOVED how you used these metaphors, I loved the wit, and I loved the attittude..an impowered prowl..words told in a "watch out!" kinda way. I loved most how you didn't fade it into something nice. you stuck it all out.. and I agree withthe others this was fierce. I loved every line, more intense and just awesome.. but the last line.. *had a big smile on my face*.

  • great write. you made the title come alive in each line. i liked the intense feeling it gave when reading it. you did a good job carrying the cat throughout the entire piece and that bit of an edge set it on fire... a feeling of being clawed.

    the author's notes even continue that theme more.... made me smile. nice touch.
    good luck in the contest.
