The Little Cat Prince

The votes on what poem I should post were equal, so I wrote the number of the poems on pieces of paper, put them in a tin and pulled one piece out. The poem below is the one I got. I wrote this poem in March this year, just after my beloved cat, Frodo, ran away. He never returned and I don't know what happened to him. I still miss Frodo a lot and this poem is written for him. This poem is the first poem written since I started to more "seriously" write poetry. I'm a better writer than poet, but I hope you enjoy it anyway. So here is my poem:


The Little Cat Prince

When I first received you,

You were a tiny, adorable, fluff ball of a kitten

Naughty, cute and playful you were, who

Had everyone smitten

Those pretty eyes of light green

Could melt a heart of stone

That long, fluffy tail was the cutest thing to be seen

And also that little spot on your foot all alone

My Frodo kitty too soon grew

Into a grown up cat, affectionate and sweet

Beautiful and fluffy too;

He could charm anyone for a treat

Among the cats, he was little prince

But then he disappeared one terrible day

And hasn't been seen since.

What has happened to my little golden ray?

Oh Frodo, Frodo, won't you come back home to me?

My sweet kitty, don't you know that I love you?

Don't just disappear, never again for me to see

I search, I call, I cry, but to no avail; what can I now do?

One day you were there

Purring and smiling at me in that catlike way

And the next you were gone, that I can't bear!

Don't leave without my say!

Frodo, Frodo, don't you know that I miss you?

Come home to me where you belong

Return to the person who cared for you, who

Loved and looked after you; for my sweet cat I long

Oh Little Cat Prince return from your wanderings to your awaiting kingdom.
