Notes About The Poem

10/4/2025 for The Bruised Bird Poetry Contest sponsored by Robert James Liguori 

Cheesecake and Stella

Stella, the cat, has two paws,
each, equipped with lethal claws.
For this feline I adore,
sadly and unfortunately, 
it's her nature, don't you see,
to go on a hunting spree, 
as she's a carnivore.

Cheesecake, the lovely parakeet
had two wings (also, two feet). 
Every day (all seven),
she would tweet instead of sing. 
Such gladness she would bring.
And now, I can't but feel the sting. 
I hope Cheesecake's in heaven.
