Nostalgia, Book of Poems, Volume 3 New Expanded Edition

By Sophia Z Kovachevich

This is the third volume in the series of poetry books about love, life, death philosophy, war, betrayal, natural disasters the earth and on a religious theme. I have also touched on the current topic of COVID and the lock-downs

The poems are meant to convey home truths and meant to be enjoyed. They are often very powerful but some are very whimsical too. They are about everyday emotions and human passions.

The poems are also meant to offer comfort because in life we often come across situations in which we need some comfort. A nice poem can easily offer that when there is one around to do so. Every negative situation is a learning curve. It is up to us to take the positives from it.

I hope you enjoy the poems.

Roofy

My Roofy, My Rufus, My Rooftop cat

You came from nowhere

And forced me to love you

Because you were only

A lovely, lonely, little kitten

Needing much TLC

I made all accept you

And then we all loved you

All without exception

Our Roofy

Just a little, lost kitten

Beautiful and oh so perfect!

My Roofy, why did you die so suddenly?

What happened to make you go?

I petted you many times that day

And you were fine

So what suddenly happened?

You never strayed out of our yard

Just wanted a lot of loving

Rolled over for some more TLC

Grabbed my leg without hurting

Just for fun.

You were just a little kitten

Beautiful, lovable, fun

I loved and

Will always love you

Till we meet again.

Did you die for me?

A life for a life?

If so – I don’t want your sacrifice.

We had so many odd names for you

Hobbaya, Roofy, Rufus, Rooftop cat, Sootface

And you answered to them all – happily

As smart as buttons you always were

My beautiful, loving Roofy!

What shall I do now?

We truly live in a horrible world

Because

There was no earthly reason

For you to die

And again I ask - Why?

You were healthy

Young, well-fed, much loved

What happened today?

To make you go away

Without giving me an inkling?

I played with you

Always a willing partner

You seemed so fine

And then –

In the blink of an eye

YOU WERE GONE

WHY? WHY? WHY?

My Rufus, my Roofy

I love you

And will never forget you

Rest in Peace!
