Letter by letter,
word by word,
my dedication
some think absurd.

Sentence by sentence
verse by verse
I ponder
can it get any worse?

Rewrite by rewrite,
poem by poem,
I stay
yet want so much to roam.

Acceptance by acceptance
Rejection by rejection
I purr
away the poets dejection.

Snuggle by snuggle,
reward by reward
being the poet's cat
I'm completely adored.
