Beneath
Beneath my tall pine tree,
below an engraved stone,
buried is my sweet friend
beloved for twenty years;
been missing him so long.
Beside his grave, sad and
bereft....I hear soft purrs.

Note: “beloved” has the strange property of
having two different acceptable pronunciations:
(two syllables, pronounced like “bi-loved”) and
(three syllables, pronounced like “bi-love-id”).
