#NaPoWriMo
Finally, our (optional) prompt for the day takes its inspiration from Laura Foley’s poem “Year End.” Today, we challenge you to write a poem that centers around an encounter or relationship between two people (or things) that shouldn’t really have ever met – whether due to time, space, age, the differences in their nature, or for any other reason.
Happy writing!
FROM A SCREEN
Disney Princess eyes staring out from a screen.
A legend about where she had been found.
Looking for her forever home, her only dream,
Waiting for an unknown person to
come around.
To take her home where she would be warm,
And safe, with plenty of food, water and a toy.
A bed to sleep in, where she was safe from harm.
Perhaps the company of a very special boy.
I brought her home to share our cosy life.
Introduced her to Rio, my other rehomed cat.
They soon became firm friends, she like a little wife,
Who bossed him about, with little chirps of this and that.
Miss Molly and Rio went out into the garden.
She climbed trees, he watched from his fence.
They shared scratching posts, their claws, sharpened,
And food, treats, toys, companions in every sense.
Then at sixteen, Rio sadly crossed the rainbow bridge.
Miss Molly and I sadly mourned his tragic demise.
She slept in his bed, head nuzzling
the small ridge,
He left in his blanket, she grieved for him with little cries.
For cats, life goes on and now Miss Molly has a new beau.
His name is Sooty, a Romeo to her Juliet.
Now she has room for this love to grow,
They are the same age, their path duly set!
