Hi friends! Some of you may have seen the poem I wrote & posted on Angel's Rainbow Bridge thread, after he passed back in february.
Someone suggested that I start a poetry thread, so I am finally getting around to doing it.
As some of you who have read my story about how Angel adopted me, (the only story I have ever written). http://www.thecatsite.com/a/how-angel-adopted-me-our-story
I also included at the top that I have written since I was 12 or 13, (& now about to be 47 in Aug.).
A few years ago, I finally took ALL of my notebooks full of poems I have written over the years, & put them all in my computer!
When I was finished, I had a count of 175! The poem I wrote about Angel was #176, & due to something I'm dealing with right now, I have written 3 in the less than 24 hours! So that brings me to 179! I have never done that before, but think because I have also been inspired again by having a poetry board on Pinterest, & have been reading many wonderful poems, by some talented posters. I was able to tap back into my writing.
So, here we go!
The only thing I ask, is to keep it to original poems written by you. As to not defeat the purpose of us sharing our work on this thread with each other.
I'm really looking forward to reading some original work!
Since I mentioned it, I will start with the poem I wrote after Angel crossed the rainbow bridge on 2-5-16.
Thanks!

Those eyes, that sweet face, and that fluffy belly too.,
How could I have not fallen so in love with you?
You appeared out of nowhere,
I had never seen you before.
You patiently waited for me,, until I was ready, to open the door.
I’d never had a kitty before,
I didn’t know where to start.
It didn’t take long before I knew , You had taken over my heart.
From the gentle morning pats on my face, for me to awake,
To the peacefulness in your purrs, while biscuits you would make.
My love, my joy, my sweet little boy.
You put a smile on my face everyday, Just watching you, and your silly little ways.
I loved watching you play on your cat tree, acting like a little silly monkey,
Or running and galloping around, like a horsey kitty.
You often brought much laughter to me.
You touched my heart deeper than it’s ever been touched before,
A love so unconditional, I couldn’t have loved you more.
Then, one day, the cancer took over you.
We all fought together, doing everything we could do..
I didn’t want to lose you, but your time had come.
Your spirit was ready to go, your earthly body was done.
My heart is broken into a million pieces, but it was time to end your suffering,
And let you go to Jesus.
Because of your love, my life has forever changed.
My heart will never be the same.
There will always be a big part of it, in which you will remain.
When my time comes, I know you will be waiting for me.
Then together forever, we will always be.
In the meanwhile my love,
I think of you everyday.
Forever embedded on my heart you will stay.
In Memory of My Sweet Angel
