In your last meow, I held you right on my heart; then- then you left me . . . I held you till you were stone, and I had to let you go. ____________________ July 8, 2018 Poetry/Tanka/Last Meow Copyright Protected, ID 18-1040-162-01 All Rights Reserved. Written under Pseudonym.

Valerie, thank you. I lost my old cat Smudges to death in June 2018. She died at home in my arms and I did hold her till she was stone. She loved the garden. How long will I weep for her? . . . Forever ! Thanks for the compliment !
