Aw, this is sad --- in a not sad kind of way. Not too sentimental, not angsty and I really like the rhythm. The first stanza sets up the poem perfectly. Great job Silas!

[Silas Thorne]

Thanks for commenting Sophia, and glad you liked the rhythm.

The cars were trying their best to stay away, but someone would hit it eventually.

Brilliant, Silas - as visceral as the event itself. Not pretty! Certainly not pretty, but one to be very proud of.

[Virgil]

Ah, this was sad, but it's a good poem. I was wondering how you were going to pull it together for a conclusion but you did it. I think the ending leads one to contemplate the some significance to death.


No stick big enough.
With cuddly tummy and heavy paws sagging,
I washed my hands later, let
you rest on the lawn.

this is good, this is life, red in tooth and claw.

Thank you thank you thank you for putting it on the lawn. (((BIG HUGS)))
I liked your reference to "Cats".
I like it Silas.

Thanks Prince, Virgil, Qimi, Amp and all the invisible readers. And news:

Last night when I went back the cat was gone.
