Dear Subscriber:
Each week we examine a theme from a variety of points of
view. The theme for this week is the death of a pet.
I welcome comments on my poems at https://nicholasgordon.blogspot.com

An epitaph for a cat named Emily, who was dominated by her
larger sister Charlotte:
Ever I loved you, though I could not have you.
Most of my life was lived in Charlotte's shadow.
I stalked the house, meowing, muttering,
Love my joy, my burden, and my sorrow.
Yet not in silence did I do without you.
