Beloved

Suki's fur is soft as silk,
colored like the cream of milk,
eyes the hue of polar ice,
purr-box is a loud device.

Suki's tail has much to say,
boldly striped, her genes betray,
momma was a Siamese,
daddy was a lesser breed.

Rescued at just four weeks old,
so small, we had to gently hold,
she's the sunshine in our home,
with love for her I wrote this poem.




(Suki is Japanese for 'beloved')

A sweet poem, for a lovely friend.....give her a loving stroke for those of us at P.S.....we lost a feline friend just awhile back that was Siamese...a beautiful thing (she was considered a 'snowshoe siamese'...named Ashley...she would curl up and sleep with our Golden Retriever every night.
