Teh Feline Angst

[vvvexation]

"If Ki were human," said saizai just now, after yet another attempt to decipher what the hell his forlorn yowls are a request for, "he'd be writing bad goth poetry." Of course I just had to try and imagine this:


i am alone in the universe.
my cries of anguish go unheeded.
the blackness of my soul consumes me.

i strike out with teeth and claws
but cannot chew away
the melancholy in which i drown.

my path goes in endless circles
like a treadmill of futility.
clearly my life is devoid of meaning.

(Translation: My humans don't loooooooooooove me!)

In an act of one-upmanship, our black cat writes his angsty goth poetry in the cabinet under the sink.

I am alone
The world is dark
Reality's black fur coat

Woe to those who bring cheer
And throw open the world's doors
Eschew the hand that seeks you.

[vvvexation.livejournal.com]

From Ki's perspective, that would be more like "bite the hand that comes anywhere near you (unless you are in a tolerant mood which is ninety percent of the time)."

That's...

...painful...

i am alone, torn
the world ignores me, for they
know not what i need.

i write without caps
with line breaks in strange places
screams tell not my pain.

i strike out in rage
my teeth and claws find nothing
futility reigns.

perhaps i should try
haiku; it seems to be a
most appealing form.

but no - it would not
alleviate this blackness
mine eyes cannot pierce.

look - ! a string - !

*giggle* *sniff*

It's purrrrrfect!

The last line is all Ki, all the time.

KI: Meoooowwwwl.... Meeeeeeooooowwwl.... *blink* *notices twist tie* *gets involved in a life or death struggle with same*

HUMANS IN APT: ........ damn ADHD cat.

i have been bested
in my poetry writing.
shame consumes my soul.

[caesia.livejournal.com]

you are not bested;
today i am poetic
because i am bored.

o muse, help me sing
ovid's bastard haiku, while
zoned out in lecture.

Dude, that is so deep.

*slaps wrist paw to forehead*

So alone, SO ALONE!

[ri-whittlesey.livejournal.com]

I am upside down.
My dignity is threatened.
Now, should I bite you?

LOL!!! We need to teach that mow English!

[vvvexation.livejournal.com]

Indeed. Then we'd at least have some hope of explaining to him why he can't walk on the damn keyboard tray.

"Cat" and "can't," while they may possess the same initial two letters and indeed sound similar, are concepts separated by a vast, vast schism.

[vvvexation.livejournal.com]

Are you sure you don't mean "chasm"?

[caesia.livejournal.com]

Either would work. Chasm is more physical, though. Like a canyon.

[vvvexation.livejournal.com]

Right, like the kind that would be formed by some geological catastrophe.
