1st Quarter Poetry Journal Reflection

Remy

The creature awakes

Long before the sun has revealed her form

To roam and stalk his territory

Eyes wide and black like onyxs

He lurks and watches

The fool gets up and is greeted by this creature

Who endlessly pesters for food until the fool departs

Annoyed and irritated, the creature slinks in the dark corners of its currently dark territory

Until

The sun reveals herself, and in her light

The creature relaxes his muscles

The creature sinks into his perch, his tower, slumbering, and

Bathes in the sun's brilliance

As the Sun fades and ebbs away

The creature awakes

One of the few poems I ACTUALLY like, if only because writing poetry does not come naturally for me, when it comes to poetry, words just don't naturally "come" to me, but this poem came really easily to me, I guess it's because I wrote the poem based off of my cat, Remy:

I pledge allegiance, to the flag, of the United States of Remy, and to the Cat Dictatorship, for which it stands, One World, Under Remy, indivisible with as much food as possible for Remy

Every day, when I get up, I'm always greeted by Remy, who proceeds to constantly pester me over the morning for food.... even though I never feed him (If I feed him, then he tricks my Dad into feeding him as well, and he just becomes very flabby) Anyways, I wrote my poem based of his typical behavior in his day, which as you can see, consists of him waking pestering for food, eating (Not actually mentioned in the poem, but common sense SHOULD dictate that he's fed) and then sleeping. The perch I mentioned in the poem references his little "cat tower" that he always perches on and sun bathes in.

A rare moment where he's actually NOT sleeping on his tower

Anyways, as I wrap up this (admittedly short) reflection, I'd just want to end off with the fact that I really need to figure out another way to write poetry, because the rest of my poems are just cringe worthy bad.
