For Linda . Who’s poem this is .

Don't know the poem, Sylvia, but like the sketch.

It's brilliant Sylvia but I can't bear it! Me and animals....

Seththe poem was written by Linda Wilson who is a member on here. Thanks Marjorie ...yes he does look a bit stiff .

Great sketch Sylvia, poor old cat. Very sad (I love cats).

What s beautiful yet sad poem. Love the illustration too.

Poor puddy tat, brilliant Sylvia!

This is super, Sylvia.

Oh Sylvia poor Tiger☹️

Yes, that cat is dead. Not an easy subject to portray without it looking morbid or gruesome, but your cat looks like it's lying in state like some ancient hero. I wouldn't know where to begin with that poem. Well done, Sylvia, with a very tricky subject.

I did enjoy illustrating Linda’s poem and big thanks for comments. Roll over Lew I might startup in competition with you....I think not. Anyone else like to have a go at Linda’s poem?

Beautifully illustrated, Sylvia. Next stop illustrating children’s books!

What a lovely sketch Sylvia, didn't know whether to laugh or cry 😥 The poem is wonderful well done Linda and thanks for sharing it with us.

This is a really lovely illustration of my poem, complete with mice and birds. I never imagined that I would be a published poet!. My cat was quite a character and had several homes. He was very attractive with his long ginger fur, so several neighbours decided to feed him, whenever he asked. That didn't stop him hunting though. He was even known to kill rats. He even managed to pull a magpie through his cat-flap one day. The magpie wasn't dead and caused havoc, flying about in my home, knocking plants and anything else off windowsills. Despite his 16 year reign of terror over the local wildlife, I do miss him.

Always sad when you loose a pet, a lovely poem Linda, and very good illustration Sylvia, God bless you Tiger.

Not an easy subject, but you have achieved it without it being morbid.

Superb. I won't try to compete with this.

It’s great but so sad
