Tyson the Cat

Tyson the Cat. There was a cat, some years ago, who liked to stand his ground. Terriers, poodles, mongrels, He'd fight that type of hound. I'd watch as dogs raced up to him, barking fit to bust, he'd just turn to face them with a snarl, and they stopped, a bit nonplussed. This was not expected, not part of their plan. cats were supposed to run away not act like a hard man. The ones who still went forward, he'd attack with tooth and claw, and pretty soon the one who ran was a canine on withdraw. The word spread far, and travelled wide a legend he became. A cat that fought the enemy, should be in the hall of fame. But with all such notoriety, there is a price to pay, and soon the dogs were queuing up, eager for the fray. They came from far and near to test this feline superman, and to see what he was made of was the overriding plan. I lined them up and weighed them in as someone had to do, they each would go three rounds with him and then they would be through. They all tried hard to beat that cat, in a fair and fearsome fight. But they all failed as I knew they would, He was solid Kryptonite.

Deric, Welcome to Poetry soup, I hope you enjoy the community. Here, you will find friendly poets who enjoy supporting one another. I myself, enjoy reading and commenting those who want to be read. The only time I give constructive criticism is when a poet desires it. However, if for some reason the poem is not my field I will guide you to someone who is more qualified than I. Stop by and read one of my poems if you like. My poems are not perfect, but I have a feeling you might like one. I encourage you to check out the contest page and read to receive comments. Tell me a little about your poetic skills if you like. It will be my pleasure to follow and read every poem you post from here on :) We are Lucky To Have you. Your New Poet Friend @-> LINDA <-@
