Notes About The Poem

 Inspired by Constance La France   

Written 6/22/2023
 

Farewell

A blue watercolor washes in brilliant white sky in the sunshine while you lose sight; melting into the sea soothing ride downwind rumbling spindrift of the waves by the wind. Mama and her six-kitten stand on the pier, on a fishing net, watching their biggest fear. They're being left behind, abandon, alone nobody near. Their family leaving on a luxury liner navigating out; believed there was no love finer. Unconditional embracing love, cease to be. Farewell pleading meows drawn-out towards the sea.

Art and poem are a great match, Eve. Dramatic writing with excellent imagery. Sad that some leave those that love and need them. Smiles ~ Blessings Bill

Where has compassion gone> One should never abandon anyone, not even a cat and her family. Hugs.

As a cat owner, this tugs on my heartstrings, poor little kitties! Wish I could take them home myself~
