“Behold Poppy” is a Lovibond May Rowanwood song from the Rowanwood music catalogue, centered on themes of wild identity, resilience, and playful sovereignty, carried by a brisk, rhythmically interlocked acoustic arrangement with bold vocal harmonies.
Blacker than the night she steps into the dawn
Moonlight in her fur and the shadows are gone
Fantastic Maine Coon on a silent prowl
Poppy’s got the strut hear the midnight howl
Mighty huntress no prey escapes
Birds mice bunnies — all seal their fate
Princess warrior claws so divine
No Tom cat dare cross that line
She’s got the spirit of a grizzly bear
Heart of a teddy soft and rare
Forty acres bow to her sway
Twenty pounds of love lead the way
Calling all cat friends gather ’round and see
Behold Poppy wild and free
Kitty on the catwalk tail in the air
Swooshing like she just don’t care
Swaying hair fancy prance
Wearing her bold little sassy pants
Meow it loud with cat-titude
Poppy’s here to set the mood
Delicate voice like a kitten’s sigh
But blink and she’s a streak in the sky
Dainty eater black nose high
But oh she’ll make the tough ones cry
Shunned and rejected left behind
Misunderstood by feline kind
Now she rules her wilderness throne
And melts to a kitten when she’s home
Rubs nip cookies cheesy bites
She’s chasing stars in moonlit nights
Fast as lightning fierce and proud
Poppy’s name is meowed out loud
Catwalk queen royal and sleek
Warrior soul with the softest cheek
She purrs with power dreams in gold
A legend in fur brave and bold
Calling all cat friends gather ’round and see
Behold Poppy wild and free
Kitty on the catwalk tail in the air
Swooshing like she just don’t care
Swaying hair fancy prance
Wearing her bold little sassy pants
Meow it loud with cat-titude
Poppy’s here to set the mood
She’s twenty pounds of love fur and play
Ruling the night then curled up by day
A flash of fire a heart so true…
Poppy the Great —sets the moon
