Cat: Neither Here, Nor There Poem by Nika McGuin
Cat: Neither Here, Nor There
Two jade green eyes
looking at me, they
follow me 'round the room
property of an inquisitive,
fluffy, four-legged creature -
part busy-body, part lazy bum
Cat...
you've got a mind all your own
so you never mind what you're told
still, I wonder why it is
your gemstone eyes always
look to me as if seeking approval
And why you sometimes
follow me like a puppy -
only to think better of it
slinking away to your birdwatching post
Hey, Nika! Your Poem of the Day introduced me to you, and now I’m reading your poems. In all of them I’ve read there’s a consistency I like, how your poems unfold in a natural conversational voice. I particularly like this one because of the subject. I’m not a cat person, but my wife is, and I’ve had years of observing them which have led to a bunch of poems. In this one you capture well the puzzling independent-depentent nature of these critters. -Glen Kappy
