Over the next few days we are going to be investigating a poem called Milk for the Cat by Harold Monro.

Listen as I read it to you, what do you notice?


13

When the tea is brought at five o‛clock,And all the neat curtains are drawn with care,

The little black cat with bright green eyesIs suddenly purring there.

At first she pretends, having nothing to do,She has come in merely to blink by the grate,

But, though tea may be late or the milk may be sour,She is never late.

And presently her agate eyesTake a soft large milky haze,

And her independent casual glanceBecomes a stiff, hard gaze.

Then she stamps her claws or lifts her ears,Or twists her tail and begins to stir,

Till suddenly all her lithe body becomesOne breathing, trembling purr.

The children eat and wriggle and laugh;The two old ladies stroke their silk:

But the cat is grown small and thin with desire,Transformed to a creeping lust for milk.


14

The white saucer like some full moon descendsAt last from the clouds of the table above;She sighs and dreams and thrills and glows,

Transfigured with love.

She nestles over the shining rim,Buries her chin in the creamy sea;

Her tail hangs loose; each drowsy pawIs doubled under each bending knee.

A long, dim ecstasy holds her life;Her world is an infinite shapeless white,

Till her tongue has curled the last holy drop,Then she sinks back into the night,

Draws and dips her body to heapHer sleepy nerves in the great arm-chair,

Lies defeated and buried deepThree or four hours unconscious there.


15

Are there any words or phrases that you are not sure about? If so check in a dictionary or Google.

Did anyone notice any similes or metaphors?

Remember, we are reading and investigating an narrative poem called Milk for the Cat by Harold Monro.


21

The poem is about a small, black cat and his desire for some milk. At the start of the poem the cat is pretending not to be interested in what's going on in the room but as the poem goes on it is clear she can't wait for the milk. After drinking it she falls asleep in a chair.


22

Today you are going to be discussing the events of the poem. Have a read back through the poem and think of what the key events are.

When the tea is brought at five o‛clock,And all the neat curtains are drawn with care,

The little black cat with bright green eyesIs suddenly purring there.

At first she pretends, having nothing to do,She has come in merely to blink by the grate,

But, though tea may be late or the milk may be sour,She is never late.

And presently her agate eyesTake a soft large milky haze,

And her independent casual glanceBecomes a stiff, hard gaze.

Then she stamps her claws or lifts her ears,Or twists her tail and begins to stir,

Till suddenly all her lithe body becomesOne breathing, trembling purr.

The children eat and wriggle and laugh;The two old ladies stroke their silk:

But the cat is grown small and thin with desire,Transformed to a creeping lust for milk.


24

The white saucer like some full moon descendsAt last from the clouds of the table above;She sighs and dreams and thrills and glows,

Transfigured with love.

Her tail hangs loose; each drowsy pawIs doubled under each bending knee.

A long, dim ecstasy holds her life;Her world is an infinite shapeless white,

Till her tongue has curled the last holy drop,Then she sinks back into the night,

Draws and dips her body to heapHer sleepy nerves in the great arm-chair,

Lies defeated and buried deepThree or four hours unconscious there.
