HIS IS MY FIRST ATTEMPT AT A SONNET.14 LINES WITH THE RHYMING IN THE RIGHT ORDER
NOT SURE WHETHER THE LAST 2 LINES HAVE THE RIGHT RHYTHM ...open to suggestions'''
HERE GOES.



ABOUT A CAT

They found you at the bus stop in the bin.
A scraggy mog with unmatched staring eyes.
The soaking fur made bones show through your skin.
How could we all resist your plaintive cries.

We brought you home and loved you from that day
A tortoiseshell with absurd velvet ears.
Remember how we taught you how to play
And climb the trees to allay all your fears

For eighteen years you clung to every heart.
Our feline friend from destination 'bin'
We sorrowed when your time came to depart
And watched as moggy heaven let you in
Sleep well my friend beneath your favourite tree.
There's a hole in our hearts where you should be.

i'M HOPING TO DO A CHRISTMAS ONE

My new keyboard -which is being returned as soon as I get another, going back doesn't like 'P's...hence the above.

aggravating but funny at times.
