Maurice Yvonne Poet Sonnet

My Beloved Pet

I love my pet - ignore those who would scorn,
Question, my adoration proudly worn.
I can spill my guts freely without fear
Always here to listen yet will never sneer.

Where can you find this type of loyalty?
More than just my pet but like family.
He never does any tricks commanded,
Nor acts in ways to be remanded.

Always quiet, calm, always well behaved.
He never complains in bad weather braved.
Easy to care for, never a worry.
At times so proud my eyes teared and blurry.

Sleeps next to me lightly he is my rock!
Yes I repeat with pride he's my Pet Rock.

Andrea Dietrich November 19, 2014 at 4:11 PM AWESOME ending!!! Maurice, I have to rush home now but I want to go over your sonnet with you. You started with perfect meter and then it kind of gave out. But as for rhyme and style, that is all GREAT. i will review this later, I promise, in a soupmail to discuss the aspect of iamabic pentameter!

Joyce Johnson November 19, 2014 at 11:32 AM Oh I hope you don't have to settle for a pet rock. Pets can be so magnificently loyal and loving. Thank you for your more than kind comments on my entry. I will cherish your words. Love, Joyce
