My admiration has continued long,
Though distant first my budding affection;
As you showed kindness, the bonds became strong.
Apart from you I suffer dejection.
Once, fighting and violence marked my days.
Unmitigated hormones led to strife.
The aid you offered helped me change my ways;
I solaced myself with domestic life.
To express one’s love, it is the season;
This Valentine’s Day: Honor you on it.
For hiding my love there is no reason,
So I give to you this humble sonnet.
Nobody else can match your stroke or pat.
Please accept these loving words from your cat.
CU-U-UTE! This is my favorite post of yours…..very well done, Joyce! Now I guess I have to get going on my sonnet, since I have all the guidelines in my hands and no excuses not to anymore!!
Oh, and kitty looks very happy and content there on Rick’s lap.
haha! Cuteness 😀
oops. i guess i better get on the stick here. i’m struggling with the form (and the content, but let’s not go THERE!!!) … we’ll see if i can pull this one off!
yours is adorably wonderful.
Looks like Rick is prepping for men’s group.
[…] A silly sonnet […]
Mom, I love it!
I really agree with “Marmee,” this is my favorite of your posts. 🙂
Oh and thank you for posting for me when the library was closed.
Hope you are having an awesome day.
[…] Bonny Boy is the cat-equivalent of a lovable mutt. He is so affectionate and laid back. I have never observed him being rough with anyone, even our two-year old grandson. I wrote a sonnet about Bonny Boy here. […]
