Silver Bells is Back with a Song. Do You Like It?

Question

IN MEMORY OF MY ONLY CAT

No more shall Kitty walk on four

And wag her tail in pride

Lost in a peaceful dream fore'er

My Little Kitty died

She used to circle round my feet

And speak in hundred mews

She spoke and spoke as though she thought

I understood her news

She used to wait me everyday

There, by that kitchen door

Enquiring with another mew

"Jay, what is there in store"

A fish or bread was large enough

To please her sparkling eyes

And often in her language said

"My master, it was nice"

But now where she had played for long

Under that branch of yew

My little Kitty is buried

And silenced is her mew

Yet, yet I call 'My Kitty come'

But she is calm and quiet

Or may be saying from her grave

"Now let me sleep my poet"

Answer 1

Welcome back.  Your poem speaks.  RIP oh mewer of the Bells.  Very nice.

Answer 2

You're back, you're back.....Oh, happy day.

I've been so worried about you...so much so, that I didn't dare ask (in case I heard bad news)

Yesterday TD hinted that all was well (hacking your way through the undergrowth) but I still didn't believe it.

(oh dear, chatting - I will get into trouble)

Your poem is sublime.....unique, beautiful and I am envious of your talent.  

Welcome back

Edit (Reenie - make your response last line into a poem....please, please)

Many of the poets on this site grieve with you.  We are animal lovers. My cat, Whoopee, talks to me all the time.

Welcome back. You are very important to us. Your poetry sings, as always, even when the song is a sad one.

what a sweet and touching poem.  A serious tear-jerker.  I'm sorry about your kitty, but you've kept her spirit alive with this beautiful tribute to her life.  I am a cat lover myself and have two of my own and I do not look forward to their crossing.  Anyhow,  good to see you are back and thank you for the touching poem.
