Lost Love

Though for me she was a dichotomy Humble and shallow in equal measure The love of my life she will always be With memories I will always treasure. No concept she, of ascetic thinking She flaunted her wont, and claimed what was due Leaving her master baffled and blinking With her furtive glance, and her smile askew. So nonchalant, at times she would appear She was a vision, a complexity With silken movements, as she sauntered near A true enigma, and a mystery. No other was like her, you will agree… After all, she was my cat, don’t you see? 1/26/18

Congratulations on your win, Betty, cats can be pretty loving and very forbidding. Hugs Eve ~`*

Aww - that is such a surprise ending. I was beginning to fall for the enigmatic shallow beauty. I truly enjoyed this darling little poem. Well done, Betty.

Yay, me - I got the cat part figured out early on, probably because I have 4 clues in my home. One can truly love a cat, I know this one does. Your poem is a beaut, and a delight, as well as a deliverer of sad - missing so much you can feel them, I've been there. A joy to be touched by your poem this day, Betty. Blessings ... CayCay
