Green Eyed Monsters
two triolets for fur
Your fur as dark as sorcery
Your eyes as green as poison
You show your secret heart to me
Your fur as dark as sorcery
As deep as death and twice as free
My secret, silent loved one
Your fur as dark as sorcery
Your eyes as green as poison

The black cats watch with hungry eyes
The white cat makes no sound
A Queen depends on silent spies
The black cats watch with hungry eyes
As soft as sighs, as hard as lies
As cold as underground
The black cats watch with hungry eyes
The white cat makes no sound

Author's Notes: These two short poems, written in the Triolet form, are love poems from Queen Beruthiel to her cats. They were written for the Bitter Valentines Day challenge at Henneth Annun.
