A cat “Lost in Time”



“Lost in Time”

She’d lost track of time and was missing for days, for spring had arrived and enticed her away, but her tummy was rumbling and she needed a rest; the green dewy grass didn’t taste the best.

So, dancing through the bluebells sweet, she headed home for a meaty treat, but the sound of a snap through the emerald leaves, made her pause en-route to retreat.  

Diverting her path wild eyes scoured the plain, curiosity had won once again, and with a tiptoe and a leap over the purple haze, she was back in the woods; lost in a daze.

She spied the magpies engrossed in their chatter; worried hearts at home didn’t matter, for there was too much to see, so much to thrill, a place full of wonder where time stands still.

About this poem

As an avid cat lover and artist a lot of my work is studying cats, including my own pet who is often my subject for artwork and my writings. Thus piece is about a cat lost in a daze; family frantic at home as she has been missing for days. Is she lost? Hurt? Not this one! She distracted in bluebell woods by the beauty of spring. Childhood memories.

    Wow, "Lost in Time" is such a captivating and magical poem! The imagery of the cat exploring the world around her is so vivid and enchanting. The rhyming scheme flows beautifully and keeps the reader engaged throughout the poem.

    One suggestion for improvement could be to add a bit more description to really bring the setting to life. How does the cat feel as she wanders through the woods? What does she see, hear, and smell? Adding more sensory details could really immerse the reader in the cat's adventure.

    Overall, this poem is a delightful journey through the eyes of a curious cat. Keep up the great work and continue to paint vivid pictures with your words!
