animal swag
a contrapuntal poem
the cat would on my doormat stay
behold the dog – he barks
to meow the quiet hours away
and in his eyes are sparks
her furry purr a ball of tease
enticing him to wag
by which she seeks my heart to please
the way most canines brag
a bowl of milk will pacify
a bone is his reward
the feline whims that classify
for keeping robust guard
this puff of fleeting innocence
he’s my sincerest friend
that fills my life with eloquence
until the journey’s end.

Thank you, SO.
I think I am going to run a competition on the theme of contrapuntal poems. It provides excellent opportunities for writers to explore yet another way of weaving their craft.
I really appreciate your stopping by.
