Notes About The Poem

"Next to sound judgement, diamonds and pearls are the rarest things in the world." ~ Jean de la Bruyere
Ode to Diamond and Pearl full version
You cuddled close, two kittens small,
Your newborn bond was clear to see,
You made us realise not one but all,
You two had claimed our hearts we agree.
Diamond you where shy and wary,
Peeking from behind a crate,
Your gaze portrayed that we were scary,
So still, you sat, resigned to wait.
Pearl, in your white and silver coat so bright,
You moved with grace and eager trust,
You circled near with pure delight,
As though you were waiting for us just.
We stepped outside to think it through,
Yet looking back we saw you there,
Two trembling forms, and then we knew:
No force on earth could split the pair.
So home you came, both bold and shy,
A study formed in contrast fair,
Pearl you meet each new passerby,
While Diamond you watch behind a chair.
You unite when midday tuna is near,
Calling out incessantly as one,
Brushing time brings equal cheer,
A nightly joy for everyone.
Indoors in gentle state you reign,
Soft sovereigns our control insures,
Your rule is complete in this domain,
You have taken this place and made it yours.
By day you claim the chairs as we leave,
By night, our bed is half your own,
No protest do you ever receive,
Your royal rights are well known.
This could have been such a cold place,
With all our children leaving us alone,
For love has filled each quiet space,
Pearl and Diamond you have claimed your throne.
