A wind whispered past my ears
My ears think they balanced me
What is the climbing man doing there?
Why is he on my helix free?

I hear it again the wind so soft
The climbing man on a grassy tuft
Wasn't he a few moments past
Climbing up my helix fast?

A smile upon my round face,
From eye to eye and up a pace,
My whiskers flutter in the silent wind,
Do you think a cat can sing?

It can smile for sure! Why I'm smiling,
Am I a cat at all? Confusion piling
The wind again like a restless wave
The smell of heaven in a cave!

Is the man on top of the cave?
I wonder within my smiling face!
Why am I smiling if I'm a cat?
I HAVE WHISKERS! Oh God! Flipping hats!

Hats? What hats? It's a windy day
I like my whiskers to flutter away!!

Smiling Again!

    So fun. I like that you wrote in the first person of that poor cat and that sudden transition to flipping hats!

      for the record, i did not find this silly at all...never put your words down..
      we need all flavors...the sunlight and the shadow...i enjoyed yours much...
      it reminded me of the happiness i have with my own cat...
      even when he is just following his nature...smiles.

    loved the rhythm of this and I bet cats can sing and hat or no hat - a very good poem!

    Like Dr. Suess on peyote--the cat in the hat did not realize it was just a cat, & for every hat removed, two more took their place; great fun throughout, no poetic darkness in this one; just smiles & feline shenanigans.

    You got a superb balnace there between Dr Seuss (a genius) and Mark Twain, who famously said ''never swing a cat by its tail!'' - superb tone and rhythm in this excellent irony and theatre of the absurd - which is a very difficult art.
