1. The Love for Cats Poetry
The look into my obsession about
cats.

2. Cats
Cats, cats,
Glamorous cats,
Some are skinny,
Some are fat,
Cats cats,
Wonderful cats,
Some are black,
Some are white,
Cats, cats,
Glorious cats,
Talking, purring,
Elegant cats,
Cats, cats,
Singing in my ear,
Meow, meow,
Cute little kittens,
Blind death,
And snuggled in
mittens.
This poem is
dedicated to my
cat loving friend.
Kezia Nilsen

3. What I liked about this poem is that
it’s talking about all different shapes and
sizes of cats and all the characteristics like
the way the act to the color of their fur. I
chose this poem because I thought it was
fun and creative and it made me smile
while I read it. There is a definite rhyme
scheme in this poem. It is the AABAA
rhyme scheme. The mood of this poem is
goofy and fun.

4. Cats
Cats are furry and feel warm to the touch
Cats purr sometimes softly and sometimes loudly
Cats have a mind
Of their own
And like people
They have their own unique
Personalities
Cats
Cats like to escape
Outside for to them
The outside world
Is like a playground
With endless possibilities
Cats Like to
Hunt birds
Cats like to chase mice
And rats too
Cats can be friendly
But also aggressive
Cats
I like you
For I like
To hear a friendly feline purr
And I enjoy A feline cat
Curled up
On my lap
In the evening
after I've had
A hard and busy day
At work
Emily Krauss

5. What I liked about this
poem is that it relates to the
first poem in a lot of ways and
they both are still very
different. This poem does not
have a definite rhyme scheme,
but there is some rhyming in
this poem. I chose this poem
because it made me think of
my cats and so I can relate to it.
The mood of this poem is calm
and happy.

6. The Cat of All Cats
My Cat is the cat of all cats
For she is like a beautiful Painting
She sleeps and awakes in the early morning
To demand her requests for the day.
My Cat is the cat of all cats
She is royal and dignified.
Poets and Writers have long been inspired
She is admired by all who encounter her
My Cat is the cat of all cats
And shall remain so, until the end of her
nine lives.
Kim Day

7. What I like about this poem is
that it is describing a specific cat
saying the their cat “is the cat of all
cats” basically saying that this cat is
better than any other cat. I can relate
because I feel like my cat is the “cat
of all cats.” the mood of this poem is
kind of cocky and proud and kind of
even vain, but it is funny and goofy.
There is not a specific rhyme scheme
to this poem. This poem is a free
verse.

8. The Naming Of Cats
by T. S. Eliot
The Naming of Cats is a difficult matter,
It isn't just one of your holiday games;
You may think at first I'm as mad as a hatter
When I tell you, a cat must have THREE DIFFERENT NAMES.
First of all, there's the name that the family use daily,
Such as Peter, Augustus, Alonzo or James,
Such as Victor or Jonathan, George or Bill Bailey--
All of them sensible everyday names.
There are fancier names if you think they sound sweeter,
Some for the gentlemen, some for the dames:Such as Plato, Admetus,
Electra, Demeter--
But all of them sensible everyday names.
But I tell you, a cat needs a name that's particular,
A name that's peculiar, and more dignified,
Else how can he keep up his tail perpendicular,
Or spread out his whiskers, or cherish his pride?
Of names of this kind, I can give you a quorum,
Such as Munkustrap, Quaxo, or Coricopat,
Such as Bombalurina, or else Jellylorum-
Names that never belong to more than one cat.
But above and beyond there's still one name left over,
And that is the name that you never will guess;
The name that no human research can discover--
But THE CAT HIMSELF KNOWS, and will never confess.
When you notice a cat in profound meditation,
The reason, I tell you, is always the same:
His mind is engaged in a rapt contemplation
Of the thought, of the thought, of the thought of his name:
His ineffable effable
Effanineffable
Deep and inscrutable singular Name.

9. What I like about
this poem is that it’s
explaining the
importance of naming
a cat, because naming
a cat isn’t something
simple. It means lot to
the owner it’s a
symbol of the cats
personality and the
characteristics of the
owner and how
he/she views their pet.
There isn’t a rhyme
scheme in this
particular poem. The
mood of this poem is
serious and solemn.
Because the naming of
a cat isn’t just a game
they deep meanings to
them.

10. A Kitten
by Eleanor Farjeon
He's nothing much but fur
And two round eyes of blue,
He has a giant purr
And a midget mew.
He darts and pats the air,
He starts and cocks his ear,
When there is nothing there
For him to see and hear.
He runs around in rings,
But why we cannot tell;
With sideways leaps he springs
At things invisible -
Then half-way through a leap
His startled eyeballs close,
And he drops off to sleep With one paw
on his nose

11. The thing I liked about this
poem is that it’s describing a cat
when it is a kitten and it couldn’t
describe them any better. The
rhyme scheme for this poem is
ABABA. The mood for this poem is
fun, playful, and sweet. The
imagery they use in this poem is
telling how the kitten is moving,
acting, playing, and sleeping. It’s
using all these things to tell the
story of how this kitten acts and
plays and how this kitten’s
personality is.

12. Stray cat
Oh, what unhappy twist of fate
Has brought you homeless to my gate?
The gate where once another stood
To beg for shelter, warmth, and food
For from that day I ceased to be
The master of my destiny.
While he, with purr and velvet paw Became
within my house the law.
He scratched the furniture and shed
And claimed the middle of my bed.
He ruled in arrogance and pride
And broke my heart the day he died.
So if you really think, oh Cat,
I’d willingly relive all that
Because you come forlorn and thin
Well...don’t just stand there...Come on in!
...Francis Witham

13. What I liked about this poem is that it’s
telling a story about a person saving and
bringing in a homeless cat into their home,
and loving that cat. The mood fluctuates
throughout the poem it goes from happy and
joyful to sad and even though it gets sad at
the end it’s still happy in the last sentence.
The rhyme scheme for this poem is AaBb. The
imagery in this poem is describing the stray
cat in which how the cat is boney, and how
the cat has velvet paws and the purr of the
cat. Also how the cat takes over the persons
home and heart, and when the cat dies the
person welcomes with a whole heart more
stray cats into their home.

14. When God Made Cats
When God made the world, He chose to put animals in it,
and decided to give each whatever it wanted. All the
animals formed a long line before His throne, and the cat
quietly went to the end of the line. To the elephant and the
bear He gave strength, to the rabbit and the deer, swiftness;
to the owl, the ability to see at night, to the birds and the
butterflies, great beauty; to the fox, cunning; to the monkey,
intelligence; to the dog, loyalty; to the lion, courage; to the
otter, playfulness. And all these were things the animals
begged of God. At last he came to the end of the line, and
there sat the little cat, waiting patiently. "What will YOU
have?" God asked the cat.
The cat shrugged modestly. "Oh, whatever scraps you have
left over. I don't mind."
"But I'm God. I have everything left over."
"Then I'll have a little of everything, please."
And God gave a great shout of laughter at the cleverness of
this small animal, and gave the cat everything she asked for,
adding grace and elegance and, only for her, a gentle purr
that would always attract humans and assure her a warm
and comfortable home.
But he took away her false modesty.
...Lenore Fleischer

15. What I liked about this poem
is that it talks about more than just
cats. It talks about when God
created every animal, and what all
the animals asked God to give them
what they wanted. It talked about
how the cat waited patiently at the
very end of the line, and when the
cat went to ask the cat just said that
she would just like to have whatever
scraps he had and so God gave the
cat a little bit of everything. The
mood is heart filled and loving and
happy. There is not a rhyme scheme
to this poem it is a free verse.

16. I’m Only a Cat
I'm only a cat,
and I stay in my place...
Up there on your chair,
on your bed or your face!
I'm only a cat,
and I don't finick much...
I'm happy with cream
and anchovies and such!
I'm only a cat,
and we'll get along fine...
As long as you know I'm not yours...
you're all mine!
...Author Unknown

17. What I liked
about this poem is it’s
from a cats point of
view. The cat is jus
saying how it will stay
in its place and that it
may even lay on your
face. The mood for4
this poem is cute and
corky. The rhyme
scheme for this poem is
ABaBABa.

18. Cats
Cats sleep, anywhere,
Any table, any chair
Top of piano, window-ledge,
In the middle, on the edge, Open drawer,
empty shoe,
Anybody's lap will do,
Fitted in a cardboard box,
In the cupboard, with your frocks-
Anywhere! They don't care!
Cats sleep anywhere. Elanor Farjeon (1881-
1965)

19. what I like about this poem is that it’s cute and fun. The
rhyme scheme for this poem is just a simple AABB. The mood
for this poem is just fun and light hearted. The imagery used
in this poem is how and where the cat will sleep. It also talks
about how the cat will go up to anyone.

20. This Old Cat
I'm getting on in years,
My coat is turning grey.
My eyes have lost their luster, my hearing's just okay.
I spend my whole day dreaming
of conquests in my past,
lying near a sunny window.
Waiting for its warm repast.
I remember our first visit,
I was coming to you free,
hoping you would take me in
and keep me company.
I wasn't young or handsome,
two years I'd roamed the street.
There were scars upon my face,
I hobbled on my feet.
I could sense your disappointment
as I left my prison cage. Oh , I hoped you would accept me
and look beyond my age.
you took me out of pity,
I accepted without shame.
Then you grew to love me,
and I admit the same.
Author Unknown

21. What I like about this poem is that it’s from an older and
wiser cats point of view. There is no rhyme scheme for this
poem. The imagery used is how the cat talks about being older
and how he struggles now that he’s older. He accepts now
that his owners still love him even though he’s growing old
and frail.

22. Two Little Kittens
Two little kittens, one stormy night, Begun to quarrel, and then to fight; O
"I'll have that mouse," said the biggest cat; "You'll have that mouse? We'll s
I told you before 'twas a stormy night; When these two little kittens began

Author Unknown

23. what I liked about this poem is that
it’s kind of like human siblings and how they
fight over something. The imagery used in
this poem is describing the dark and stormy
night and the two rambunctious. How the
two kittens are fighting over a mouse and
it’s describing each kitten. The mood in this
poem is energetic and also kind of calm at
the end. The rhyme scheme for this poem is
AABBAABB.

24. I AM
I am weird and borderline insane
I wonder if God loves all people
I hear my cats’ purr before I fall asleep
I see self harm everyday
I want more cats
I am weird and borderline insane
I pretend to be happy all the time
I feel God’s presence with me
I touch flowers
I worry about my family
I cry when people I care about are hurting
I am weird and borderline insane
I understand the world is not a perfect place
I say everyone should be loved and treated equally
I dream that the world will someday be more understanding
I try and treat everyone the same no matter what
I hope bullying will someday end
I am weird and borderline insane

25. Why I wrote this poem and chose it for the
project is because it’s who I am jumbled up into
just 18 lines. It is all of me but all the different
parts conformed in just one little poem. There is
no rhyme scheme. There’s not really any rhyme
scheme either. But the meaning of this poem is
for people to kind of just have a quick glance at
kind of who I am.

26. Cat
Fluffy, happy
Stalks, attacks, eats, sleeps, purrs
Cats sleep all day and all night long
Panther

27. I wrote this poem because it’s cute sweet and
simple. This poem is just a little look into cats and
their various personalities and characteristics.
There is not a rhyme scheme in this poem. The
mood for this poem I wrote is fun. The imagery is
describing just how the cat acts and is.

28. Lion
Big, scary
Hunting, chasing, eating
Africa, grasslands, ocean, krill
Gigantic, slow
Whale

29. This poem is just goofy
and about a lion and a
whale. It rhymes in one of
the lies but other than that
it doesn’t have a rhyme
scheme. The imagery is
describing both of the
animals very differently.
The mood is not really
anything it’s just a generic
poem about a lion and a
whale.

30. Tiger sleeps in shade
Dreaming of hunting its pray
Wakes up to go hunt
Stalks his pray in the sunlight
Proud tiger takes his meal home

31. This poem is just about a tiger. It’s short and
sweet. It describes the daily life of the tiger.
How it hunts and it sleeps. The imagery is
describing what the tiger is doing. The mood
is kind of active to just calm. There isn’t a
rhyme scheme in this poem.

32. I believe in the power of Karma
The loyalty of friends
The tastiness of food
The power of some higher being and science
But the belief that bullying and not treating each human
equally based on their skin color, religious beliefs, and
sexual preferences is right, is really outrageous
I believe you have to work for the goals you want to
achieve
I believe that family always comes first
I believe Johnny Depp and Paul Walker have been
amazing actors.
I believe that there can be an another life after you die.

33. This poem is just kind of my
views on life in general. The
mood alternates, because
some parts are more serious
than others. Like the part
where it talks about food isn’t
serious. But the rest is. I don’t
really rhyme in this poem.
There’s not really imagery in it
either.
