Topic: SOCIAL (04/07/16)
I'm a social cat.
I like to be right where it's at.
I walk the line of attachment
Like a seasoned acrobat.

I've got a horde of friends,
But there's plenty room for new.
If you have ways to impress me,
I might add a space for you.

I'm always on the prowl
For the latest trendy rage.
I'm looking hard for excitement
And the chance to be on stage.

I'm the life of the party-
Would you like to see some moves?
They say I'm great entertainment,
So you see, it only proves

That I'm a social cat,
And I've never lost my touch.
I'm still the man of the hour
With charisma in my clutch.

I radiate my charm
So I can snag an easy catch.
And if you heap on attention,
You would be a perfect match.

But when the party's over,
Find yourself back on the shelf.
What you thought was connecting
Was me bonding with myself.

See, I'm a social cat,
An endless carousel of fun,
But when the ballots are tallied,
I'm in love with number one.

I am always a fan of well used repetition in a poem, you had that. I think this entry spoke from the other side of the street than the one I just read. You bring out truth some are only into their own thing. Because you used "social cat" I read it in an old jazz type voice so I don't know if I caught your rhythm properly. But I enjoyed reading you entry, Thank you.

My favorite line?

"What you thought was connecting
Was me bonding with myself."

It brought everything together in this fun little piece that read smoothly and clearly top to bottom.

Nice job! Thanks for sharing with the rest of us.

Congratulations, Lea, on your 7th place EC award. I liked the P.O.V. from the cat's perspective.
