My Cat

Kimberley Hamilton

Your eyes are enchanting an emerald green,
Your coat is so soft as I watch you preen,
Tiny toes and tiny paws,
But one thing's for sure don't go near those claws!

You love your cuddles but your spirit is free,
And sometimes you say "don't bother me",
A cuddle, a snuggle, then you don't give a toss,
It's clear to me that you are the boss!

About this poem

    I absolutely love your "My Cat" poem! The imagery you use to describe your cat is so vivid and charming. The way you capture the essence of a cat's independence and aloofness is spot on.

    If I may offer a suggestion for improvement, perhaps you could explore different rhyming schemes or structures to add a bit more variety to the poem. Experimenting with different rhythms and patterns could make the poem even more engaging for the reader.

    Overall, fantastic job on capturing the unique personality of your cat in such a fun and delightful way! Keep up the great work!
