Ode to Narcissa

an abecedarian poem for my cat

By Morgan Rhianna BlandPublished 3 years ago • 1 min read
My cat, Narcissa

Always by my side, my

Blue-eyed beauty resides

Chubby cheeks, cream-colored hair, and a

Dramatic prima donna air

Everywhere she follows without fail, with a

Flick of her bushy beige tail, she

Graces us with her grand entrance.

Her Highness demands attendance,

Immobilizing me, she make my lap her throne for hours

Just like her namesake, this dark beautiful flower

Knows she's the one calling all the shots,

Lovely lazy little lady lounging in her favorite spot, she

Meows only when her mother's in dismay.

Nap time is any time, 24 hours a day,

Or at least it is to her, the

Precious perfect Persian with the powerful purr.

Queen of the castle, her word is law,

Ruling her subjects with a firm but fair paw.

Sauntering down the hall, she demands

Treats and pets given by a gentle hand.

Unique in her charisma replete, she

Vacillates between snobbish and sweet,

Waiting for her people with patient devotion with

X-ray eyes that see through every emotion.

You'll never need another friend as long as she's near,

Zipping to your side to lend a listening ear.
