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.

Looks like Rick is prepping for men’s group.

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. [...]
