Cuts Like Leather


Your wit is sharp
Cutting down adversaries in mid-step
A whip made of leather tears through flesh
Wielding rage
They melt like butter before you
The sight of your rubber skin
With curves that flow
Like sweet music from a harp
Captivating and enslaving
Amassing an army of followers
Humbled they adore and pray
Bowing in worship before you
On bent knee
With faces to ground
Dirt in their teeth
Pledging unwavering loyalty
Gifts of self-sacrifice they bring
Offerings of servitude and labor
More than ritual
A religious cult is born
The one true Cat
On golden pedestal we place you

Free In Thought

Great poem! You've been practicing, and getting better! I'm a huge fan. I feel like you've made a great effort at changing language from abstract to concrete images. Yay!

Some excellent examples I enjoyed reading:

your rubber skin
With curves that flow
Like sweet music from a harp

Great image here. Mmm, I want to wear that suit.

worship before you
On bent knee
With faces to ground
Dirt in their teeth

Another great line. I can taste the soil thinking about it, and my knees bruised and skinned.

I'm glad I stopped by! Michelle is the best Catwoman. I agree. That stitched suit is the best.

Catwoman is the perfect example of a strong, powerful woman. Got to love it. Love your poem as always can feel the words to the bone. Thanks for sharing.

Michelle was definitely the best catwoman.

Indeed!

I was a teenager when the movie came out and I can remember anxiously waiting for months and months for the release of the movie, just because of her.

It's too bad that they got rid of the director, Tim Burton. He was the best thing that happened to the Batman franchise.

Yeah batman returns was literally my favourite movie when i was like six years old. I had this foot tall michael keaton batman figurine that i took everywhere with me.
