Palpitations

PALpitations Down through the years I’ve had my share Of furry, fuzzy friends Who found the place inside my heart Where unconditional love begins. I’ve seen them born, and watched them die, As grieving tears ran from my eyes. Some I owned - and some owned me – All blessed me with their loyalty. Be it just a precious spotted pup Or cute and cuddly kitten – You’ll find that this old wordsmith’s heart - Will always be equally smitten. Written By John Posey 10/30/13

So sweet. I love it, John Posey. And greetings to you. I could get a temporary as I read out loud to myself. Real neat, heartfelt writing, ain't it? Real, audible palpitations when one follows imaginatively. Thank you

this one I found is just adorable. And the title with all caps on PAL is so sweet.

"And some owned me" ... Simply overwhelmed by their presence. Your piece compelled me to miss then with you so touching was your picture, though I had never met them...beautifully written my friend!
