Notes About The Poem

Image result for death of a cat

''Death of a Kitten''


I recall the day that I brought  h e r  home,
          six weeks old and a ball of spotted fur;
all around the house that day she did roam,
     at times-  she ran so fast she was a blur.
Then, she would  c r a w l  upon my knee to purr,
               oh, such a murmuring tranquility;
that little  s o u l  was all fragility,
     I came home-  to find my little girl dead.
will miss her sweet  s o f t  personality,
               I buried her-  under my roses red.

I love it, Constance. thanks for letting me know. I am late for spin class. Oh boy, I better get going. one last thing. I notice an uneven number of lines. I count ten lines but didn't the rules say to do four stanzas? Maybe I am mixing up with another form. I need to see how many lines per stanza. Maybe it can be two stanzas. That would make sense here! That must be it!
