creativity

They say
that animals
can sense death.
I curl up next to you
like a cat
and wait for the inevitable.

I like the idea, but i'm not in love with this at all.

This poem rocks. I like the matter of factness of the first sentence followed by the simile. I like the choice of a simile rather than a metaphor because it still renders the speaker human and creativity is something that separates us from animals. Well done!
