Andrea Dietrich Poet Sonnet

Notes About The Poem

Dear Kitty Friend

Dear Kitty friend, the first day that we met
I noticed right away how sleek you were.
From head to tiny paws, you were a jet
black, and soft to the touch was your smooth fur!

I brought you home, and said, "Here's our new cat."
"But aren't black cats bad luck?" my husband said.
How ludicrous he was! Dear, don't mind that!
With you, I've never had a thing to dread.

For six years now, you've lived inside our house,
and every night you curl up next to me.
You are so beautiful, and now my spouse
adores you too. You purr a lullaby
which soothes me, as each night, to sleep I drift.
If anything, you've been our GOOD luck gift!


Jan. 21, 2018 Dedicated to my sweet black cat, Razzmatazz
Based on Picture number two for Eve Roper's There is a Brighter Side Contest

Chris Hagy January 27, 2018 at 9:11 PM Hi Andrea :) Nothing new for me, but you know I had to read this! Pix sooo cute!...and what a lovely write about your Razzmatazz :) We have a long hair black male at one of the horse farms I work at. "One-eyed Jack" is Lord over 3 other females! (all neutered)...MEOWWW! :)

John Gondolf January 22, 2018 at 1:33 PM Aww, how sweet, Andrea. We had to put out black cat down a couple months ago but we still have 3 cats remaining, all female, who get much more attention than I. So I live with wife, 2 daughters, and 3 female cats...I'm outnumbered! John

Dale Gregory Cozart January 21, 2018 at 1:38 PM This is very cute and fetching. I like the way you bring sonnets down to earth with the language you use. And it all fits in the meter perfectly.
