Pawly is back with my parents now, in her new metal urn. To celebrate the occasion, I wrote a few little poems in haiku form. I hope you like them:

in light, shadow fades
in death, shadow remains true
her love transcends all

sunshine holds shadow
in transparent slumber now
love part of earth’s light

a body to ash
a soul to eternity
here stands love’s symbol

symbolic of love
shadow, soul separated
now entombed, enthroned

she casts no shadow
for in life, that was her name
and in death remains

of life every hour
your shadow, dark companion
duty beyond death

I encourage everyone to add your own haiku’s to celebrate Pawly. If you didn’t know Pawly, then share with us your experience with a favorite pet. And if you would like to learn more about haiku, here is a great resource. Have fun with your poems!
