This Is Just To Say

I have mowed
over the kitten
that was in
the front lawn

and which
you loved
so dearly

Forgive me
there was fur
and blood
the grass is red

Before you judge, this is a parody of "This Is Just To Say" by William Carlos Williams. It was a class assignment and we were supposed to follow the pattern of the poem exactly. I was really annoyed by this and nothing was coming to mind. Suddenly, I had an idea and scribbled it down. Then I sat back, reread my work and cackled. Also, I am a huge cat lover. Just so you know.
