1st Annual Poems About Pets Month

[Tiger the Lion]

A good idea, making it its own post.


The Saddest Poem

I've never had a pet.

..........



That is true. I've never had a pet. 
I'm not political. But when it comes to animals, I make mess.
I don't like cats to be declawed. 
I don't like the idea of pets. I'm not a vegan. But I find animals as simply elemental versions of everything. 
They don't have to suffer the slavery of me. But animals can be very loving.
I've had many encounters with "wild and tamed beasts" in my life. Dogs, cats, deer, trees, mice.

When I watch horror movies, I think of how horror doesn't even exist as a concept for these elemental creatures.
Well, horror, but not horror as a concept that has to be made into an art.
Humans are animals, and our intelligent evolution is merely a stronghold mirage in the field of time.

WE GOTTA EAT



I enjoy waxing, poetic! philosophical! 
Waxing is living.

When I start waning, I'll send out invitations to my funeral.

.......


The stray animals, and there are a lot, are treated like shit around here where I live. There's a lot of wildness out here, which I enjoy.

Take this post as a poem. My contribution to this riff.

A perfectly fitting contribution. Thank you for getting us started, Rowens.
