poem 2nd round

Another poem wrote in class today.

The theme is this picture:


This is attitude.
"The greatest waste in the world is the difference between what we are and what we could become" Ben herbste


Title: The feline

I pawed the smooth glass surface that framed the king
My tiny heart fluttered when he did the same
Behind the glass resides the feline king
Victorious and prideful
He purred as he licked the sharp trimmed claws
Swishing his tail from side to side
There I stand basking in glory and pride
As still as a statue, the mirror reflects the same

I shook as the collar on my neck tightens
The cold locks send shivers down my spine
I meowed and growled in defense
As the gruff lumbering creature yanks my chain
She sweeps me up as I screech
Clawing in the air
Then I was handed my favorite toy
I was nothing
But a domestic cat
