cat, death of a friend,
A full year it grew
as dear Callie cat endured
that stinking cancer.
Night screams came, which pierced my heart.
Only then could I let go. . .

my
cat
is dead
and I weep
my heart is broken
in a few seconds it was done
I felt the life fading from her and she was so still
and in her death she was beautiful and utterly at peace and all the pain was gone

My Lily Cat
I miss my dear loving kitty,
You died so young, what a pitty!
I loved to stroke your softest fur,
To watch you play and hear you purr.
You gave such joy, though unaware
How your sweet spirit helped me bear
The many burdens on my mind,
You shared your loyal love so kind.
Your picture sits upon my shelf
Behind the glass, sunning yourself.
I cried for two months when you left,
Inconsolable and bereft.
My feline friend where are you now?
I pray you'll be reborn somehow.

allegory, analogy, confusion, death, symbolism, write,
A cat pursuing mice
seems never
to think twice;
an owl swooping on prey
shows no thought
of delay--
Then enters man--
expressing volition,
a higher moral ground
of conscious
contrition--
yet kills for sport
as well as nutrition…
Oh! on occasion
for God
and country….

EPITAPH TO A CAT
Here lies our cat,
At peace no doubt.
Survived eight times,
Then his luck ran out

Cassio Laps Wondrously
An open porch, gifts spritely legs
on all his fours, meows he begs
so opens I, a tuna can
not be prepared, a stray in tan
that came to be for many years
a wandering did set in fears
yet his return continued on
meows are heard, that be his song
untimely death outside our door
car screeching sound could not ignore
near fronts our yard, the roses bloom
midst stands a cross neath lies his tomb
heartfelt love, receptive wills he
laps Heaven's milk, eternally.

animal, cat, death, depression, funeral, grief, sick,
You sit and stare
upon your dish,
no strength to bear
even as I wish.
For you to live
forever strong
were mine to give
your life prolong.
But being neither
here nor there
Death comes hither
So be prepared.

We found you dear cat.
Smokey, dead you,beauty you!
Our soul tears splash, splash.

Gone to Rainbow Bridge!
Playing with butterflies galore,
Milk in rainbow bowls!

No more fur to kiss.
Balls you chased such,feline grace!
Angel, ours,at Rainbow gates!

cat, death, grief,
I recall the day that I brought h e r home,
six weeks old and a ball of spotted fur;
all around the house that day she did roam,
at times- she ran so fast she was a blur.
Then, she would c r a w l upon my knee to purr,
oh, such a murmuring tranquility;
that little s o u l was all fragility.
One day, I came home to find her dead,
oh, I will miss that sweet l o v i n g personality;
buried now- under roses red.

Oh ... grandfather's violin
It sounds like cat crying
Then why did I inherit you

allegory, friendship, introspection, life, nature, pets, sympathy,
What of this pregnant white cat?
Her dirty fur a smudge
Against the snow's clean canvas,
She mews at my door for milk.
A stranger to me, she appeared
Without express invitation.
And now, she lingers, like a cold.
This cat is an embarrassment.
Like friends whom I feed
Because I lack strength
To turn them away.

He dragged himself along a narrow corridor,
carrying a golden cat statue with him.
He walked as though the weight of the world
was on his shoulders, as he vomited
out thick blood. His favorite white shirt
was now red and wet.
On his skin, veins were dark
and swollen, as though they wanted to explode!
It is picking the artifact
from goddess Bastet’s shrine,
that made him to be as he was….

mournful cries fill the air
mother bird calling for its baby
eaten by the cat

I am sad: yet, that is

loud feathered thud

cat, death, grief,
Hello, my name is Pearl Smudges and I am a cat
I live in a beautiful apartment in an old building
With My Girl and until recently Violet Patches
One day My Girl got the cat carrier out
She put Violet Patches inside and left
When she came back the carrier was empty
And she was weeping
I rolled myself up in my blanket for three days
Slowly, sadly we are coming to terms with our loss
The end of grieving is just within reach

absence, cat, death, grave, parody, poetry, tribute,
I’m scum, I know, I am an ***
I knew through cardboard you could pass
You chewed and chewed a great big hole,
I wish I knew you had a soul
You ran and laughed, but what you saw
It stomped you flat, it was a paw
That cat, he smirked and ate you raw
He stuffed you in his great big maw
My dear sweet babe, I won’t forget,
Your tiny life and what you met
The fault is mine, and I must pay,
Though when and how, I cannot say
The day will come, my life’s all done,
Until that time I’ll have no fun

animal, cat, eulogy, fun, love, mother daughter, mystery,
My cat is so lovable she really makes me humble
She loves to play and cuddle and roll around and tumble
She can look into my soul with those oh so seeing eyes
What does she feel as she licks and cleans her daughter?
I can only say its love, what else?
I watch her as she sleeps, I can see that she dreams
I know she is a soul, just like you and me
Please keep in mind this simple token
That we are all part of God and the chain cannot be broken

bird, cat, death,
A pretty bird
Sang upon a fence
Until a cat jumped to pull a wing down
Sad little bird lay on the ground within sharp claws
Trembling
Struggling
With no real hope
Her feeble attempts doomed
No more will I hear her sweet song on the fence
Sadness
Finished
The cat moves on
Close by a nest of babies wait
Pretty bird looks one final time at the sky
One last chirp

There once was a white cat I knew
Who had feathers; a ghost cat who flew
Through the shimmering streams
Of the moon’s silver beams
Leaving slain doves in the dew

A truant blizzard's hurl allowed shadows hide
when the night was pale. And all the dark ravens yelled
as I buried my cat, last year, frozen and dead. That all
the lilies of in between, wailed of my Christmas eulogy.
