Felix, the long tailed cat, was suave and debonaire, he had a custom collar, and glossy, smooth black hair. Felix was a favorite at the Old Folks Home, where he was lavished snacks, and unlimited places to roam. Felix loved the attention and petting that he got from the appreciative residents who liked this cat a lot. But, there was a certain room where Felix walked with care; it was the sewing room filled with rocking chairs! Ron Cole June 2008 |
WHOA FELIX, watch out fer them thar' rockin' chairs boy. HA Loved this little diddy. We had a Siamese who had a big kink, near the tip of his tail. There is a sad story that goes with my poor "SAM". my sweet little boy. | Posted on 2011-05-05 00:00:00 | by DUSTYTU | [ Reply to This ] | I like Felix! | | Posted on 2008-11-26 00:00:00 | by Glen Bowman | [ Reply to This ] | haha...i can imagine him keeping his tail in the air and the tail twitching nervously as he survey the room with his bright eye | a nicely painted picture and it got a chuckle or two out of me watch out for the rocking chairs felix! | Posted on 2008-07-21 00:00:00 | by rubymoon | [ Reply to This ] | I love Felix the cat...

Love,peace,joy,abundance & smiles to share ![]() ![]() ![]() tif ~*~ | Posted on 2008-06-24 00:00:00 | by Epiphany | [ Reply to This ] | Ah i love that ending !! partially cause it reminds me of my cat - who's mostly black - laying in the dark (covering his white belly) and somehow still getting insulted if anyone steps on his tail, yeesh. But secondly cause it also reminds me (sorry for always reminiscing on your poems hehe) of this cat that decided to live in a old folks home over here, he was lovely but has this annoyingly uncanny trick of always spending the night sleeping on someone's bed if they were going to die. It was crazy cause he was accurate, he kept them company for the night if they were going to die the next day. cats really are amazing. Thanks for the poem, keep in touch xx | ~lou~ | Posted on 2008-06-22 00:00:00 | by elseibi | [ Reply to This ] | All I have to say is that you are a generous poet because you let your readers read for free. thanks alot always a pleasure. | BVG Yeah a question for you, Who is a poet in your own words because you have some people on this site who are discriminating against others even when they are not in the right frame of mind to handle criticism.

As always this superbly written. I'd like to see what you could do with a fixed form. The Poor Man's Poet P.S.
