I'm planning on writing 2 poems - a poem about Beauty and a poem about Dylan.
If I have time I may be writing a few poems about some of the cats on here. If anyone wants me to write a poem about one of their cats, PM me all you can about the cat (all you know about it so I can write the poem true to life for that particular cat, ie it's personality, what it likes doing etc)
I will PM the poems to the people who would like any. I will need to know as much about the cat/s as possible to put in the poem.
It's up to you if you post the poems here once I have sent them to you, those that want! :-D
That's sweet. I look forward to reading the poems about both Beauty and Dylan . . . I'm sure they will be from the heart.

Beauty's Poem: WARNING!!! potentially upsetting content!!!
Beauty
I first saw you sleeping in your pen
You were so thin, so fragile
At the time of seeing you
I wasn't planning on taking you home
You were eight years old, the charity said
Had been in their care for months
I knew I couldn't leave you!
I arranged it with my family
Together we brought you home
You were my precious treasure,
My sugar pie, my life!
You acted older than the charity thought you were,
We thought you were 14 when we got you.
Beauty, you were shy but very sweet
Once you learnt to trust us.
You were never keen on visitors, never keen on fuss
But you were very special
To all of us
You had to leave your home
When your owner died
But that didn't mean you weren't special
You meant the world to us!
It was hard when you became ill
The good times became rarer and rarer
The bad started outnumbering the good
We did our best, honest we tried!
But your body was too weak
To fight the sickness off.
I lost you, holding you at the last
You only lived with us 18 months!
But your memory still lives on,
My sweet, precious treasure!

That is really lovely. It touching and meaningful without being mawkish or overly-sentimental. Oh, and I love the poetic rythm of it . . .it flows very nicely.

mawkish? :?
Mawkish means slushy, overly sentimental and deliberately seeking to make an emotional statement . . . sorry didn't mean to be obscure :oops:

Dylan's Poem
You came into the charity
Together with your brother
Your owners had split up
And couldn't keep either of you.
I met you two weeks
Before we lost our tortoiseshell
You decided it was time
For us to bring you home
We couldn't take you straight away
I brought my brother to meet you.
He fell for you like I had.
Shortly after our tortoiseshell left this world
We went to collect you
You were understandably nervous
Coming into a new environment.
Though you soon settled in
With loads of spoiling, attention and fuss.
You've settled in well, now.
We're not letting you go!
Not for any reason!
You are very generous with you're gifts:
Mice, rabbits, rats and moles
Birds you brought in plenty
You've given us so much happiness!
Both of you were three when we met
You are four now
And I hope we have years a plenty
Together.
So many times
We've been outside together
You posing for the camera, me in my rightful place behind it.
In the sunshine and the shade
I'm not a good photographer I'll admit
But you make it so easy for me
And that's the way I hope
It will always be!
