Icon of cute
Cartoon cat
Kawaii kitten
Like Japanese schoolgirls and
anime heroines
you've been imported
appropriated
embraced
Hell-Oh!
Fetishized Feline!
Your whiskers tickle
headbands to tennis shoes
panties to bombs
No one would suspect
such a sweet little pussy
to scratch her way to
WORLD DOMINATION
Bad kitty!

What a take on the sweet kitty..I enjoyed it.
World domination? Sure...*smiles from my hello kitty mousepad* :-)
I'm liking the Becks beer bottles! Cool idea.
This is absolutely hilarious. :)
That was clever. Lol, enjoyed it.
icons do have an edge...
They had Hello Kitty when I was a little girl - apparently Sanrio is celebrating their 50th anniversary - I prefer Chococat from their line - great poem. I also went Japanese for the prompt.
Oh, it is strange the hold that Hello Kitty had on me as a little one. I did let her go, though :) Definitely a pop icon in her own right. Go Kitty! Fun piece.
haha...cute! I think Hello Kitty is an icon for all cats...they'd all like to obtain world domination...I know mine would for sure!
Cats have their worlds dominated, I think. Good write and a good art selection. Thanks for the relaxing read.
