Beware! There might be one in your neighborhood.

Out of the cold winter blue
A tomcat is staring at you
Out from the window sill
Giving you a strange chill

Image Source

His face so inquisitive
His objective definitive
With big eyes that plead
Wanting you to take heed

Image Source

Saying hi with those jeweled eyes
And murmuring plaintive cries
As he sticks out his chin
Wanting to be let in

Image Source

Making a funny face
A grimace you can’t erase
From the vision he sees
As if he were about to sneeze

Image Source

It doesn’t matter what you’re doing
He’s always there for a viewing
Watching you through the window
As the curtains would billow

Image Source

To your window he was drawn
Wondering what’s going on
Wanting to be a part of
That world you so love

Image Source

Beseeching you so earnestly
With an expression full of urgency
Asking for compassion
As your face turns ashen

Image Source

Seeing the ghosts of past lives
As emotions pierce you like knives
Causing you to shiver
With your heart all a quiver

Image Source

Imploring to your humanity
Catering to your human vanity
Wanting your indifference to crumble
And become more humble

Image Source

Day in or day out
He is always about
Watching you from out there
With an unwavering stare

Image Source

Peering between the flaps
Keeping you from a relapse
Making you aware
That he is always out there

Image Source

Keeping you on your toes
Never forgetting your woes

Image Source

So please don’t despise
For a peeping tomcat spies

    Do you know anybody who wants cats? I have too many and Mom says I can’t eat them. :(

    Those cute cat pictures suit well with your nice poem. There is a cat in my place who regularly pee-in at my window looking at our meal.. LOL

    That cat always wins in the end no matter how. Expressive and adorable entry my lady.
