Fee Fee is no more.
For the last twelve years
We played games
She trained me well to dispense the treats
And everywhere I ever went
This lamb was sure to go
Her fluffy loving face
An anchor to me in times of storm.
Tonight, her little heart gave out
And I brought her home
In a box.

Lee Dunn has been writing since the age of 18, but found that work got in the way for the ensuing 48 years. In his home town of Toronto, Ontario, Canada, he reveled in his independence at an early age, and spent as much time as he could exploring the city’s Arts scene. He was introduced to poetry and prose by the works of two literary giants, namely J.R.R. Tolkien and J.W. Lennon and thence fell in love with the written word. His work includes poetry, short fiction, and personal essays, and ranges in theme from the surreal to the horrific, nostalgic, and themes on the human condition. He has been published on Spillwords.com, The Dark Poets Club, Journal of Undiscovered Poets, Crepe & Penn Literary magazine, and the Shelburne Free Press.
I’m so sorry, dear one 💗 My heart aches for you. We had lost our lovely elderly kitty a couple weeks before, and these are some of the hardest days ever. Big warm comforting hugs to you 💞💞

It was some time back, Laina, but yes it’s almost like losing a child. Bless you for your kindness.

I apologize that I’m so late in commenting 💗 We’d lost ours this spring too (late March), so yeah we’re in similar boats there 😘 You’re so right, it is like losing a child in a way (no offense to any parents who have lost human children, it’s just that our fur-kids are the closest thing I’ll ever have to a child). I definitely feel like a cat-mom 💝 Sending warm thoughts of continued healing, and bless you for your kindness as well 😍💖

I’m all too familiar with that void of a feeling when we lose our furry friends. So sorry again.

I feel for you. My cat has been the one constant throughout a lot of life changes. We have a special connection and I do not look forward to the day we have to say goodbye.
