(Today's prompt was to write a popular culture poem.)
Arm raised, grin bared,
she greets us
on refrigerator magnets, placards, postcards, napkins
and in plastic bins.
The real feline power
is not in Hello Kitty.
She is too fake to be ferocious.
Yet she has softened the claws,
muted the teeth,
and made the two-eared, tailed
sleek counterparts to dogs
friends of choice.
