Poem Commentary

"In remembrance of my cat Bullet:;murdered in the night. (From the news) “Two parts of a dead cat were found in the vicinity of Firefly and Grumman on the morning of Monday, June 14th. The cat was severed, not mauled by other animals, and it was found without internal organs and without blood. The Sheriff was called and a report has been filed. This may not have been the first incident of this type of animal cruelty in our area. Please be very careful with regard to the safety of your pets. Please call the Sheriff’s Department if you have any additional animal cruelty reports and also please report any incidents to the homeowner’s association.”

Keeper of the Cat’s Meow




The car’s meow is silent, no meawh or such
To be heard from my beloved cat again. It is a hard to swallow, or even say this thing

Did they act so foolish, would they laugh at my pain?

I feel so lost; it’s pure, pain like a bee’s sting,

Sadness pulls me though that gate.

My cat had neither nine lives nor even eight,

 

His prrrrrrr is a missing vein,

His sounds never to be heard again.

It’s like air without the wind that blows. My heart doth cry out in obvious pain Not yet in a cold grave, his torn body parts lie

On the Vet’s cold steel table I did see myself

Two body parts in half, such obvious hurt and distain.

 

My happy cat’s meawh is missing!

Yet heard one hundred times, not existing any more.

Nor any scratching or growling at my door.

So sad is the silence that cries out to me.

As I feel his missing sounds more and more.

 

Why did they do this foolish thing?

Why does it hurt me so, missing like in combat, Never to be heard again from my white and orange cat My beloved pet longing so for my hands pat.

 

On a cold table it now lies, Beneath the covers is the top of him undone Below the other half, the two parts equaled one. My heart is scattered with dauntless spirits of love

I kissed his cold cold lifeless cheek, like a captured dove,

A beloved cat like Bullet’s, rare fast, reserved

He was full of joy and surly loved, my very own.

He’s gone and I am not the same, I am alone.

 

Bullet’s uncompensated the same as I am too

My dismay, anger, grief and absolute heartbreak

Of my beloved lost pet, no Poetic justice at all.

Tortured for nothing, and left without a meaowh

The silent voice of all murdered martyrs cry out.

I cannot hold on I proclaim the lost meowh!

 

Shocked with awe, as he was tortured for naught

A better theory altering the contours not wrought

A catastrophe of crude design, to me is brought.

I cry out in pain, the keeper of the cat’s meow.

The lost of my beloved cat “Bullet” who was

Savagely murdered for naught.

 

The assumed Satan worshippers baiting him

Like a fisher’s line trolling through the night.

overwrough by pain I do to you confess.

My emotions and grief’ are fully connected

The meow of my cat missing, murdered in the night.

Goodbye my dear my beloved cat, sleep till

That time when we are united again.

 

Only God Knows when I’ll hear that familiar

angry cat’s meowh, lonely cat’s meowh, happy cat’s meawh,

caring cat’s meaowh and my loveable cat’s prrrrrrr.

I miss you bullet, my love cat murdered in the night.

Thank you, for having the courage to express your feelings so clearly & then share them with us ; it is a very powerful , heartfelt outpouring of emotion for a much loved pet , a great celebration of Bullet's place in your family. Maybe I should write an appreciation of Benny, my car we had for nineteen years. He so much a part of my family? Admiringly yours, Sempersperans

I cant say I'd liked it, it so sad. Why are people such Devils? They don't need a cat for Satan worship. They fill the bill all by themselves. You know my ex boss volunteered at an animal shelter. At Halloween many people would come to adopt black cats.She said these weirdos were so apparent so of course the answer was no. . I wish I could give you comfort over this senseless murder.of bullet. You are a lovely person and I hate to see you in such agony over something so senseless.

"God give burdens, also shoulders." " Pain is probably inevitable, but suffering is often optional. I have chosen to let this poem and time heal my pain. Bullet was so precious to me. Yet even so is my wounded spirit.which is comforted by all of you and the words of Maya Angelou's poem "I rise" which are very expressive of the courage many people developed through their recovery period, Thanks to all oh you.

This is an epic write that turns the life of a simple but loved cat into a tragedy at its death, The human race is still mired in ignorance, selfishness and brutality. There seems to be little hope that this will change before the last two humans remaining kill each other over a state piece of bread..that could have as well been shared.......Hampton

I had my pet cat skinned. They left his skin on my patio furniture and took his body.The furniture sat out front. How lovely.

Thank you for the read..

When power leads man towards arrogance, poetry reminds him of his limitations. When power narrows the area of man's concern, poetry reminds him of the richness and diversity of existence. When power corrupts, poetry cleanses.
