Who would have thought that a poem could be
written in but just ten words, but you have
risen to the task, from your choice of art
work to you humorous depiction of the cat
waiting to be fed.
Well done

    Thanks for your compliments, fastdigits, but I'm really confused by the four-star rating, especially since you're not a FS newbie.
    If it was a slip of the finger, /i hope you will make the adjustment.

    It certainly was a slip of the finger. I attempted to rectify the error but for some reason unable to do so. will keep trying. Sorry

    I'm glad to hear that, fastdigits. It's easy to do if you know how. Just revisit the piece, and you'll see the old review in the review box, and you can make whatever revisions you want (except lowering the grade or raising it to six stars). You'll find it in the closed voting booth for that contest..

    Thanks,

    Don

Cute poem. The picture tells it all. Cats are such sleek and cunning animals but they are also very demanding. When they want something they want it NOW. Thank you for sharing, NB

    Yes, cats do have personalities, some very similar to people's.
    Thanks for your comments, NB.

It's a cute piece. It captures the psyche of cats well. For ten words its solid, but overall, it's unspectacular. I would try swapping the first two lines, that would give the piece a greater sense of urgency at the beginning, while keeping the rhyme.

This poem gave me a good chuckle. Great little poem, this would look great on babys bibs and plates if you have ever thought about selling your work in other ways.

Ain't that the truth. Ha! Cats are hilarious and are such a great addition to the lives of humans. I enjoyed your poem. My cat could have written this one, I do believe.

    Thank you, Angela! A terrific review from a true cat lover. Um, isn't it time for you to feed someone? ;-)

This is a fun poem. I can see my cats reciting your words. "I'm feeling thinner" is a great opening line that draws the reader into your poem. Excellent use of rhyming words.

Your poem made me laugh, a hard thing to do before my coffee. You met the criteria of the contest. Although short your poem is powerful, I'm a pet lover and it is beyond me how anyone could forget to feed their pet. But I guess in our busy world it happens.

    Jaded, I think maybe you should consider changing your monicker to 'pushover631.'
    Thanks for the terrific review!

Hahaha!!

Cute!! Except this cat is being too polite about it. The cats I know would rip their owners to shreds and drag what's left of them to the kitchen and just let them figure out the problem. Haha!!

Fun one! Good luck!!
