This site is under major construction!
Basically right now, just trying to organise all of my poetry. After which, I'll add my art and graphics to go with the poems and/or the themed content. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Royal Sterling Silver" (Affectionally called, Royal Puddin'!) - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - This page is made in the Loving memory of my friend... This is how I chose the name Though to heaven he did ascend. Sufficiently to describe... There are no words to say About my loyal, devoted pal... And I miss him every day! - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - (This poem was written for my AOL Hometown Rescue Pages.) © 2005 by Sharon Donnelly | "My Kitties!" (Kitties rule!) - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - My kitties bring me joy, But they also bring me pain. All their crazy antics Can drive me so insane. Yet, I love them dearly For my life would never be Quite the same without them And all their playful glee. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - (We cat owners can attest to this!) © 2007-03-28 by Sharon Donnelly |
"Samantha's Wings!" (Written when my neighbours lost their beloved Samantha.) - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - I have been a pal to you For many, many years, Through all the cherished moments; The sad and happy tears. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - I've been so honored To be your loyal friend. Just because I've had to part, This journey needn't end. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - I am with you always, As I have been from the start And you'll always find me There, just inside your heart. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - I have risen, now To a more important role. My duty comes with wings To protect and guard your soul. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - My tail is always wagging now For I can always see; I can always hear you all So clearly...my beloved family! - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - (I do believe our pets watch over us from heaven.) © 2005/10 by Sharon Donnelly | "My Kitty!" (I think sometimes we take for granted...) - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - My Kitty is my friend, When no one wants to be. She's tolerant of my quirks, She's prrr-fect just for me. She knows sometimes I'm lonely, But she always does her best, To lift my spirits up, As she purrs upon my chest. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - When I'm in the need To talk about the part, That lies in a secret place Deep inside my heart, She rubs her head against me, As the aching, longing stirs, But I know my secret's safe, With her reassuring purrs. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - For all the times, When the pain's so great And I think there's nothing To console it or abate, She once again comes through, My lack of faith, forgives, Reminds me in my heart, Is where she always lives. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - (...all our pets really do for us!) © 2008/01/06 by Sharon Donnelly |
"Step Inside My Kitty Condo..if you dare!" (Just a little fun poem...) - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Step inside my kitty condo, Where everything is prrrr-fect for a kitty. If you're a human or a dog, You had best be pretty witty! This is where all cats play, Few exceptions are the rule. Our claws are always ready And we detest that doggie drool! We only let our motors purr, When we feel you've earned our trust. We never let our guard down. We are selective with our lust! Do not waste our time With meaningless dribble. We'll chew you up and spit you out, For we have better kibble! - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - (...because we cat owners understand "kitty kwirks"!) © 2007/01/04 by Sharon Donnelly | "My Special Friend!" (Best friend...) - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - I have a special friend, I must tell you all about. Yeah, I'm going to brag. Heck, I'll even shout. We pal around together, Share secrets we'll never tell. We snuggle up together As we nap for just a spell. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - I share my food with him, Which he waits for patiently With his big, puppy eyes, Giving kisses back to me! Oh, indeed, I am so truly loved and blessed To have a friend like him, is better than the best! - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - (...Like no other!) © 2009/08/10 by Sharon Donnelly |


"Spooky!" (Shuffled from one place to another...!) - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - I'm a five year old, neutered male And I'm sure hopin' you'll tip the scale, In my favor to take a chance And give me more than just a glance. I'll be your friend, stand by you. And I can offer protection, too, For love, some food, a brush and comb With folks that want me in their home. I'm hoping and longing for you to say... "Come on Spooky, you're adopted today!" - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - (...But alas! He has a good, permanent home! :) ) © 2006/06 by Sharon Donnelly | "Mask!" (Owner had to move and couldn't find...) - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - My name is Mask... And I'm on a quest, 'Cause I need a home, For just me is the best! Since I'm a lookin'...

A special home is what I need With attention all for me, 'Cause in my past I've been abused And it's hard for me, you see... A feeling of security is difficult for me, 'Cause not once or twice, do I speak. Many times I've been shoved aside So my faith is just a little weak. This doesn't mean that I can't give... Love, devotion, just like all the rest, 'Cause this is where I do excel, Since I give my very best!!! - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - (...and left with brain damage affecting one side. :,( ) © 2005/07 by Sharon Donnelly (She now has a good home, too! :,) ) | "Meet Mia!" (This yound lady was badly neglected...) - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Hello, my name is Mia. I'm just a little girl, Looking for a home In this whole wide world. Only in this world five months And looking for a place To rest 'n' play 'n' frolic And to know a friendly face! I am a mix. This is true, Of hound dog can't you tell? A gentle voice, a loving touch Ahh, this would be just swell! I'm playful as a pup can be. I love to romp and play with glee. I'd play with you, you would see..., If you'd only give a home to me! - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - (...along with a mommy dog and her two puppies. :,( ) © 2005/06/14 by Sharon Donnelly (She and the mom, Piper, have a great home now together. :) ) |
"My Pups!" (These girls had a bit of a rough start...) - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - We, the pups, have found a home Where we can romp and play. With two boys that love us And give attention every day! - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - So many times like we, the pups, Find a home quite soon... And then the Mom is left behind To sing a lonely tune. But in this case, we're very glad To report the wonderful news. Our Mom has found a home as well And she no longer sings the blues!!! - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - (...But the two girls now have a good home together, too! :) ) © 2005/06/25 by Sharon Donnelly | "And now...Piper!" (Mama too now has a great home...) - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Remember me? I'm Piper, The mother of the pups. I'm so happy in my new home. Oh, yessiree and yups! - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - My pal, Mia and I, We are pampered every day And we have the very best In every kind of way! - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - The food is superb, plenty do we eat, But the very best of all, is all the love so sweet! - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - (...With Mia! They have lots of love they share!) © 2005/06/25 by Sharon Donnelly |


"Tips On Good Pet Care!" (Just very basic consideration...) - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - On these days when it is hot And you are inside cool, Remember me and my needs And remember the golden rule! Do onto others as you would So have done onto you. Take care of me the way you should. Fresh water and shade, the least you can do! - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - (...But is this ALL that you can give?) © 2005/07 by Sharon Donnelly | "Don't Forget The Love!" (Pets love us...!) - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Although my needs are few, I seldom will complain, I'll give you all I can though, In sunshine or in rain. My love is unconditional That I willingly give to you. So please, be sure to show me And return some love from you! - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - (...So love your pets!) © 2009/08/10 by Sharon Donnelly |
"Thinking About Adopting A Pet?" (Adopt a pet with the same frame of mind...) - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - If you're thinking about getting a pet, It's a decision you don't want to regret. So before you adopt or you buy, You have to know that you must try To be as informed as you can get! - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - They live many years, most of them do So if your thinking of seeing them through Make sure you know before you buy For they deserve more than just a 'try'. And left somewhere abandoned and blue. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - You must be a responsible person To better their life, not to worsen. There's more involved in 'good pet care' Than giving some food here and there. When sick and injured, they'll need some nursin'. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - They require the touch of you As well, they need your voice some, too. Not just shoved in a world outside Even with shelter they need applied Assurance, security, and love from you! - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - If you have little time to spare To give them love and tender care Then I suggest what you might do Get a pet that's 'stuffed' for you Along the lines of a teddy bear! - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - (...As with adopting a child, because pets need the same security!) © 2005/07 by Sharon Donnelly | "Grooming Your Pet!" (Good grooming IS love...) - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Do not overbathe your pet to take away the soils, For this dries the skin by removing all the oils. Brushing the fur of your pet Is the best that you can do. This activates the oil glands And so shines the coat anew. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - With brushing you must start where the hairs begin. Separate the fur in sections way down at the skin. The motion should be from the root Towards the end of every hair. When you've done the brushing well, You're on to combing care! - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Use the same method as you did in the brushing. A proper job takes time with no room for any rushing. The comb is used to find small tangles That the brush has often missed. You don't want even the smallest Tangles to be left, dismissed. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - To give your task a touch of finalty and sheen Rub the coat down with a cloth that's soft and clean! These guidelines that I have given here Are referring to a long haired pet. If you have a short haired one, though, They too need brushing, don't forget! - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - (...Because our pets like to feel beautiful, too! :) ) © 2005/08 by Sharon Donnelly |
