There was A Cat left in a house
Whose occupants long gone
He comes and goes
With spotted nose
To wander there alone
Through vacant rooms
He hops and zooms
No ball of thread has he
Past moldy walls
Down doorless halls
He plays with hearty glee
Up cobwebbed chairs
Down rusty stairs
No whiney tigers gloom
He darts about
With fearless snout
In dark, in dust and doom

A wonderful poem by such a young poetess. Your imagination in this poem brings the cat and the house to life for us all to enjoy. Well written. Thank you for sharing Louise
This is a wonderful poem, Louise. Happy that admin made it poem of the day. It was a true pleasure to read. By now you must be 25 or 26. High time to start writing poetry again when you had already so much talent at 14
Again, your poems are so well thought out and written. It's hard to find anyone that writes like this. You wrote this at 14yrs old! ! Unbelievable. Was this a Cat you owned at the time you wrote this and embellished on it? Would like to read more about you. Entralled Literally.. Brandon
Being a cat-lover, I simply had to track down this little jewel! Hope that you are still writing, or will resume soon.

A wonderful poem that gives a lively description of a cat.
Lone it was, yet a whole house it had inherited; it was a well blessed cat.
