Deep Is the Well (Unrhymed Sonnet)

Silver on glass, it interests me not That you can make judgments on images I care nothing about recognition Neither do rank nor hierarchy move me Do you think you reflect deeper than I? When she looks at you, what do you show her? Does she see, in you, her own true feelings Or just the face that you want her to see? Me? I see something that's quite different I see beyond her skin and through her smile I see her yearning heart and cries within I see ties that bind and those that fetter Her real beauty I see (clearest of all) I see she in whom I truly believe ~

This is lovely in its form and sentiment. Physical beauty fades but inner beauty endures and is much better than an empty shell. As always, a wonderful write. Thank you for your condolences. We had Boo for almost 18 years and she was a good kitty. Love Robin

This is very beautiful. Thank you for the kind comments on my poems, I will get some more up soon. I still feel very amateur with my poetry, I feel like I have a lot to learn. Thanks again for your kind words, you inspire me to write more. - Zoe
