Old Cat

Submitted by Tamerah on Sun, 12/28/2008 - 10:36

Just something I thought I'd share - my very first poem =)

I come
Home
And there
I find old cat.
Sweet serene loving
old cat always
there just lying
there waiting
for you to get home.

Written exactly as it was all those years ago on a small piece of notebook paper. Not a masterpiece, but I remember being very proud of it at the time.

The funny thing is I didn't actually own and old cat =)

I'll probably wish I hadn't posted this tomorrow.

Adorable!! :)

I love it. "Serene" is not a word I knew when I was seven, LOL. :)

This is so you - I can totally see you writing this when you were little - you've always had a thing for cats. (Not that I blame you - they're absolutely wonderful creatures!) I like the rhythm of the last few lines - "always there just lying there waiting for you to get home"... it has a good feel. :)

I don't like how in the beginning it says 'I come home' and then in the end it says 'waiting for you to get home'. Of course I can't expect seven year old me to have written anything incredibly amazing, so I've tried my best not to critique it too much =)
Definitely cute though, I find it very amusing.

Oh I can just see little cute Tami dreaming of having her own cat and writing this poem. Oh so precious : )

Awwww.....So cute. I wrote lots of stories. Once I wrote on called "Shiny the Unicorn" when I was five. It was really cute....
