Hello Widdershins, that's actually really funny but I'll never know if you did it yourself or if it was really typed up by an actual computer cat. I can totally relate to you, especially when they walk up to you and sit on your keyboard with that sly smile. An actual ode would've been fun but then as the ode goes on, it should start getting messy showing signs that a cat has come. You don't have to listen to my idea but it's just an idea. Keep on writing and take care of your cats!

Hilarious! I never thought I would say this about something that looks like your head smashed into the keyboard, but this is clever and funny. I have to agree that it isn't an ode, but I think calling it that just makes it even better. Nice job.

This is the most poetical thing in all existence.
Look at those marvelous 3s.
This is totally the meaning of life.
And who knew ] equaled 0?
Thank you, for taking all that time in your life to smash the keyboard. If only there were more authors like you, then maybe the world would become... rather interesting.

Tigerlilly here for a review!

This was fairly interesting, and I honestly can say that I have never seen anything like it. I have to agree with GuyLathamzim, that this is not an ode, and that initially, you are supposed to be able to tell what the meaning of the poem is from reading it, not the title.

It was a cool idea, though I think you could add a bit more words, to show that it is indeed a cat instead of a brain fart. I thought it was pretty funny, and while I do not have a cat myself, my friends have often complained about there cats walking all over their keyboards. Keep trying!

haha, as interesting and humorous as this is, I am going to be a buzz kill. Its quite far from an effective poem.

Firstly, it is not an ode. An ode is a short lyrical piece usually intended to be sung. And the most fundamental aspect of an effective poem is that it can be read without the need of a title and yet the reader or audience will still be able to deduce what the subject and meaning behind the poem is. To the unknowing eye, this just looks as though your computer glitched or your brain farted. The idea is creative, and I suppose that is what this site is about. But other than that, there is no literature that I can review. SO I suppose this is just my opinion. Don't really know where to go from here....

Haha love it! This is the most perfect piece of writing that could ever come from a cat sitting on a keyboard.
