Claus is not dead, merely sleeping. Waiting for you to cross the Rainbow Bridge where all the animals have passed over to. Super photo and you were blessed to have him for 16 years. I have had cats all my life. I know how you must feel at his passing. Good luck in the contest. K xx

    Hi Aussie,
    Oh thank you for such warm and kind words. Yes, Claus was a beloved critter who was my constant companion for 16 years. I so appreciate the gift of 6 stars. I am truly honored by your generosity.

    All the best ,

what a great tribute to your cat! DOC had given you a fine cat..
cats are remarkable .WHen I was a kid we use to live in the outskirts of a city .We ( Mom and the kids)would wait in the verandah waiting for my dad to come from the office. My cat would rush from inside and dash off to the gate and sit there Two minutes late Dads jeep would reach! So whe he dashes out to the gate my mom would get up to put the kettle on...His could sense the movement of the jeeps wheels on the ground I suppose...

    Hi Sanku,
    What a wonderful review, thank you. Your kitty ran by his own clock to meet your Dad coming home from work. How cute:-) Cats are amazing creatures, I miss Claus so much, I suppose I 'll never stop missing my little feline.

    All the best,

Great tribute to Claus. Your free verse still had a rhythm that kept me engaged all the way. You told a great story of about Claus that also showed that he definitely had some of DOC's personality.
Take care, Daniel

Hi,
Wow! Your poem really touched me. It's been almost exactly 5 years since I lost my own cat and best friend, my Luna. I miss her every day and night, and there's STILL days where I break down from missing her. There is no kitty in the entire world who could ever compare to her for me- I've actually considered getting a tattoo of her, although I don't know if I can get up the courage.

Your poem is absolutely beautiful, and you did an amazing job of capturing your love for Claus and how special he was. I love your descriptions and figurative language. You genuinely touched me with this poem- it's seriously beautiful.

Thanks for sharing and I wish you luck in the contest.

Best wishes,
Keely

Such a poignant poem. So sorry Claus has slipped from your earthly view, but it's apparent in every line how much the two of you were "simpatico" and how even now, looking back, there is joy to behold.

Love your "DOC" stray mama cat name... I like that kind of humour!

Awww.. what a sweet tribute to your beautiful Claus. It's so true what they say that people rule the dog but the cat rules the people! Lol
Thanks for sharing your experience with Claus with us.

I think It's a great little tribute, quite moving, actually, to your cat. I loved the subdued, almost solemn kind of voice, appropriate for a requiem, and I also loved that image of the waterfall. It is quite original, and it really captures the feeling of moving from one world to another, and being division between souls. estory

I read very little poetry and don't know the first thing about it. But I've always enjoyed yours and been able to relate to what you say and the melody of words. Thanks for sharing.
