Such an original, fanciful idea for a poem. It is my favorite today because it's a nutty idea and yet you've made it seem so normal with everyday (but not pedestrian) images. I think if you cut back some unnecessary words and shaped it a bit more, it would be even more powerful, but really it's a delightful poem.
Your poem has been recommended in the New Poems Reviews thread on Literotica's Poetry Feedback and Discussion forum. Thanks for the read!
A compelling read you want to go back and reread to savor the imagery used.
"A cat sleeps curled in my mind" It atarted with this strong opening line and from there it just got stronger and, I'm afraid (no, really...), more hypnotic and imaginative. congratulations on this feline power poem.
that leaves me to make of it what I will--a mirror to my own soul.
a little of Baudelaire, both as subject and to some extent execution
