Hello everyone!
Some of you may be aware that we have been challenged by Cats at the Bar to write a poem! The rules were simple – write a 10 line poem involving the word “Love”.
Of course my own skills at poetry would have caused the world as we know it to end (dramatic background music) but fortunately for myself and the sanity of all of you Floridaborne has saved us all by writing the poem for us and the kitties 😀
I have linked the names of the cats to their category so feel free to check out some of their cute photos. 😉
Nubia loves climbing high,
loves pondering the sky.
Mao loves cuddle time,
Snowball loves life sublime.
Oliver loves clean clothes,
loves carpet tingling toes.
Jack loves Christmas lights,
loves spaces very tight.
Spoiled cats love treats,
better…they love meats.
Here is a bonus photo of Jack as kitten who would like to say thanks to Floridaborne for all the help. <3
Now to my own challenge! First I would like to challenge Moongazer from Chaos, Cats and Chronic Pain because I count her as a good friend AND she previously nominated us for an amazing award. 🙂
Next up we are nominating one of our good doggy friends over at easy blog – just because we want to see a doggy write a poem! 😀
Third challenge goes to franhunne4u from the Blog inhannover no particular reason apart from we may get a German poem? 😉
And lastly because we need a real poet at work I challenge our good friend Sylvester over at Syl65’s Blog! 😀
Thanks,
Marc
I thought the awesome! You and your staff are a talented crew!!
Haha ^^
Awww- that photo is adorable. I enjoyed your poem too 🙂
Floridaborne wrote the poem for us 🙂
She challenged you and wrote the poem? LOL!
The challenge came from cats at the bar 😀
Fantastic!!! Well done! Cudo’s to Floridaborne for bailing you out. I must admit, I really didn’t want to see a poetry apocalypse so just as well as you got a ringer. 😀
Haha! 🙂 Yep just as well for all of us 😉 let’s see how the people I challenged fair 😀
Should be good! 🙂
We may have a challenge between real poets soon 😉 Sheryl saw this on linkedin and wants to join in now LOL.
Cool! Dueling poets! 🙂
Let’s see what sheryl says 😀
Reblogged this on Fonte da arte.
Thank you 😀
I post and publish POETRY in many elite groups. Several cat poems can be found on my Profile. I am a copywrited poet.
Hank you Sheryl 🙂
The cuteness – too much! I love this 🙂
Thank you 😀
Lovely poem about cats, inspired me to do one of my own about cats. I don’t have any yet. But, I hope to get one or two some day.
Thank you ^^
Charming!
Thanks 😀
So cute! I love the pics. The first one reminds me of Kobi – he also sits on the cat tree with his tail and one leg hanging out! Ellie
Awww thank you! <3
Eek!!
LOL! Sorry :o. If you can’t write poems I can recommend to poets to you to help out. 😉
😀 No need to apologise, it was just a bit of an eek moment LOL
I shall certainly give it a go. I have my first line, anyway :p
Thank you for the compliment too 🙂
🙂 thank you!
That is the MOST precious kitten picture. It makes me want to reach out & hold it.
Haha thanks

Thank you 😀
:D!!
So stinkin’ cute!!
Haha thanks 🙂
Floridaborne is one very talented lady. Give her a keyboard and she lights the world a fire. ?
Such a sweet thing to say. 🙂
Jack should’ve received the title of “World’s cutest kitten” Great picture!
You really are gifted, and you spoil us. 🙂
Yes, Jack is adorable! I have a look-alike at my house, Rico-Chico.
I keep wanting to steal Jack from my friends 🙂
Beauty by any other name can still shred a leg. 🙂
Yes, and I have two that have done a great job of shredding the corners of my couch. ;-(
Oh oh. Someone is in trouble.
They were “in trouble,” but clueless. I couldn’t really punish them. They began their thread-thrashing in one of two ways, during the night, or while I was away from home. 🙁
XD I know what you mean. Who could be mad at them in the end!
Thank you for writing the poem 🙂
My pleasure. 🙂
Agreed! 🙂
Good choice with syl65. If you need another poet, let me know. I’m new to your site so I don’t know the sweet kitties yet, but all cats are poetry in motion…especially the way they pull our heartstrings.
Awww thank you 😀 maybe I should do a permanent cat poetry section ^^
Can the poem on love be for any wee beastie?
As in a not cat or any cat :D? We may need special permission of the kats if it’s a dog! 😉
It’s not my cat. But it’s a special few cats. You really are cute…don’t worry, I’m an old lady.
You really are cute…don’t worry I’m an old married lady. I used a few special cats, but not mine, except for a line drawing. Coming to you by email. I didn’t put a copyright on it…it’s for the website and all the homeless kitties of the world. Sorry, I’m a publisher. We think about those things.
Awww thank you! I’ll check it out shortly 🙂
pawesome poem! poems with meats and treats are wonderful… and much better than those of that shakespeare guy who just wrote about harks & larks :o)
Haha 🙂
You know Marc? I was reading your Poem. Its funny and NOT BAD AT ALL. I think you did a GREAT job! I can get you into some of the small elite poetry groups, should you be interested. I spot GREAT talent! Kind of, sort of: the point is that what you came up with is really a great job!! I love it. I don’t think you will find an editor to get it published, but its not bad at all!
This poem was written by Floridaborne 😮 she saved me in this challenge from Tom haha.
