Cat Poems
By Elizabeth Bishop
Contributions by Stevie Smith, Contributions by Ezra Pound
You Know How a Cat
Will Bring a mouse it has
caught and lay it at your
feet so each morning I
bring you a poem that
I've written when I woke
up in the night as my tribute
to your beauty cats endlessly captivate and hypnotise, frustrate and delight. To poets, in particular, these enigmatic creatures are the most delightful and beguiling of muses, as they purr, prowl, hunt, play, meow, and nap, often oblivious to their so-called masters. Cat Poems offers a litter of odes to our beloved felines by some of the greatest poets of all time.
