A Staring Cat Sits On My Computer Poem by Cynthia Buhain-baello

A staring cat sits on my computer
With green eyes that speak it holds
Such a sway on my attention here
Thoughts sent to mind as motive unfolds.

It stares with a strong and steady gaze
In silence commands with a subtle look,
And relays slowly in its feline haze
It wants me to get up from my little nook.

Who is really in charge, sometimes I wonder-
Am I the real master or is it the cat?
I have to give in to its muted order
And take a recess from my online chat.

A little meow and affectionate purr
Is all that is needed for its beck and call-
I do the bidding of the staring cat here,
This human is weakened by a creature so small.
