About this document

Lina Kostenko: Poetess of Ukraine by Viktoriia Nastenko is a document available to read on EtoBox.

This poem describes a battered old tomcat lying motionless like an old mat. The tomcat has endured many wars and wives over its life, which has left its ears tattered and head battered. Despite its worn appearance, the tomcat remains as tough and ferocious as ever, still capable of killing other animals like dogs and chickens. Though battle-worn, the tomcat remains "unkillable". The poem uses vivid imagery to portray the tough, resilient nature of this old cat.
