My Cat
My cat sits on the window sill
My cat sits on the window sill
Watching the birds and bees fly by
They flit and flutter in the sky
Her antics more than meet the eye
Watching the birds and bees fly by
My cat she lets out such a sigh
My cat she lets out such a sigh
Watching twinkling stars as they dance
Her wide golden eyes in a trance
Hoping to see a ghost perchance
Watching twinkling stars as they dance
My cat naps on warm summer days
My cat naps on warm summer days
Sun puddles sing their lullabies
She dreams of birds and bees that fly
Sun puddles sing their lullabies
Sun puddles sing their lullabies
This poem is my endeavor for the poetry form Singsangsong.
An eighteen-line poem consisting of six stanzas. The lines can be metered or not and have no fixed lengths (the length of each line can vary within the poem). The stanzas alternate between couplets (two lines) in which the first line repeats as the second, and quatrains (four lines) in which all four lines rhyme with each other (a monorhyme). The first line of the quatrain also repeats as the fourth line (and in the case of the final quatrain, the third line as well). In other words, the singsangsong’s rhyme scheme can be expressed (with capital letters representing repeated lines) as AA BbbB CC DddD EE FfFF.
The poetry form was invented by fellow blogger, Paul at Paul's Poetry Playground. https://playground.poetry.blog/2021/07/27/invented-poetry-forms-the-singsangsong/

Beautiful Franci. I'm not a poetry fan but this portrait of a feline matches my lifelong observations of those earthy creatures.

Multiplied thanks .. was not familiar with poetry form Singsangsong
my favorite lines
Sun puddles sing their lullabies
She dreams of birds and bees that fly
My cats sit on the window sill
My cats sit on the window sill
They are destroying the wood
Like some cats in the hood ;~)
Perhaps I'll keep going
I share your purr-fect “Singsangsong”

Cats are territorial animals and even without an arch-enemy, I think some of their meows are cuss words. If only we understood what they are conveying. I'm glad you enjoyed the poem.

There's never a dull moment with our cat! She is one of the most entertaining cats I've owned out of the many I've owned through the years! She is definitely a diva and far from purrfect but purrfection in her own right. 🤣

One of the best cat poems I've read.
It describes my cat beautifully.
She would say she sits on the window sill to keep an eye out for her arch - enemy the black tom from next door.
The language when they cross paws is far from poetic.

Cats certainly do a lot of sitting around and watching, @Franci 🐝Eugenia Hoffman, beBee Brand Ambassador which, in my completely irrelevant and irreverent opinion, makes them far from ‘purrfect’. In spite of the general lack of social interaction exhibited by felines, my neighbour took her moggy for a COVID test recently. The results came back ‘pawsitive’. 😂🤣😂
