My Furfamily…
My dog
and cats
are family.
People balk
when told,
but animals never
lie.
A Septolet is a poem consisting of seven lines containing fourteen words with a break in between the two parts. Both parts must deal with the same thought and create a picture.

Believe It
by Diane Tegarden
12-16-85
For those of you who don’t believe,
I shed a silent tear.
But if you will allow me,
I’ll share the joy this time of year.
I rise to a beautiful morn,
the creatures are astir.
I squint into a dazzling sun,
in awe at the sweet, soft murmur.
The people seem slightly happier,
even though, they still toil.
For some, our eyes have witnessed war,
right here on our home soil.
Especially for this reprieve,
I recognize the birth.
For those of you safe in your home,
Believe it, there is peace on Earth.
(from my poetry book “Light Through Shuttered Window”)
