Polarity

Curtailed sonnet, for contest by Rob Carmack

The dog didn't like the kitten, but wasn't unkind
No way was she going to accept or meet
Him in the middle, her love was not blind
But my love for you was never just fleet

You were more fire, swift to ignite and burn 
My love, that temper would flare up overhead
But I was down to earth quiet like fern
Enjoying sunrise, sunsets, get my book read
