Hi, there, welcome to WdC. What a glorious user name, Sunshine Lollypops. You must be a really cheerful sort of person. Not that has anything to do with this cheeky little poem about cats. Of course being a dog person myself I totally agree with your cat outlook. That missing cat? It didn’t get stolen or lost. A cat never gets lost, let’s face it.

Well I’m here to give you my non-expert opinion on poetry, not wax lyrical about felines. I love poetry, you can say so much more in a poem, express an opinion using fewer words. I dislike being tied down to rules though and there are so many rules in the poetry genre. I prefer rhyming poems myself, I can never do free verse, I don’t know the rules. But having said that I love this free verse poem, it’s perfect for a cat poem. Freedom, that’s what all cats crave and maybe even though you’re a dog person you maybe more like a cat than you know.
A couple of suggestions if I may. I feel the rhythm may be improved by writing the word ‘the’ at the start of the line Love you had for that cat,
You already used the word ‘better’ in the line : Better to forget the cat, , perhaps find a different word in the line: A better place to deposit your care,
I’m so looking forward to reading more of your whimsical offerings. Well done, keep on writing.
Sue.
