Lynette found this poem she wrote for Diamond, so she asked me to put it on my blog.
The poem is a Japanese style poem called a ‘tanka’. Diamond was mainly a haiku poet, but he also loved tanka. He must have been almost sixteen years old when the photo was taken. The animation was made in Vidfly.
I am an older cat now and Lynette says I must keep in good health. She is always patrolling me to make sure I have everything I want. Nearly everything, anyway. I need more sleep now, but my appetite is good. I have my diet a bit restricted on the amount fat in various foods. Fortunately, my favourite soft food is low in fat, and I eat that all the time along with my older cat dry food and dental crisps. I exercise through the house and take her for a short walk when it is fine.
