Feline Overlords

Through a pale green moonlit night
with bright shining minds
they descended.
Tails erect
all whiskered vanities
and sleek furs.
Perfect four pawed landings.

The Gods
Sphinx: Overseer of stone and sand.
KukulKhan: Whitefoot Cloudwalker-
illuminant snake eyed sister
The Kings
Jungles and mountains
Savannah and suburbia
Psychic black witches
Monks without bowls
Observers, companions,
Teachers.

The Cool
The poets and the blowers
ninth dimensional shadows
inhabiting the dark
fast friendly ferocious fanged
masters of night and day
they littered the Earth
the ultimate galactic colonists.

and the newlings - so cute...

My masters applaud your effort. They want you to know you have moved up the list of the favored, just don’t forget your place…

"Perfect four pawed landings"...*purr* purrfect description, written to be seen in the mind's eye.

The tone of the first part of the poem and the background color of your blog reminded me of "The owl and the pussycat..." :)

Hauntingly wicked poem, Glenn.

"...the poets and the blowers..."

your words elevate and give them stature. you make them walk upright.

Hey Glenn, love the alliteration, especially at the end, though I have to admit I'm a dog kind of guy. Take care,

Bob

Ozy.. you have masters?
Cecilia.. Thank you ma'am. Purrhaps you read my mynd.
Shirley, for shame - how did they let you forget!
katY - our one is 19 and still acts like a kitten at times. Seems the newling already has you well trained.
Abhay - only the perfect can have seen the perfect. Cheers

Yasmin- Thank you. I must say that to my eternal shame I have neither seen or heard "Cats".
Bob- Thanks, don't let Ozy see that. Hope all is well in waterworld.

Thanks rohn, I see a bit of medical dictionary creep in there, but that is my favourite line too (along with the poets and the blowers)
Cheers
