Listening to every heart

Rhett & Scarlett

vivid bright their lives
lived full
a treasure read of
my youth
and woe am I to
think of names
that would fit pets
‘tis the truth!


two Betas bought
on weekend sale
two males, I am
assured
for brightly their
colors regale
but females, drab,
I’ve heard


but the Blue is Rhett
and the Scarlet,
well, you see
I really couldn’t
otherwise think
of what their names
should be!




although this is neither Rhett
nor Scarlett, it does give one
an idea of what they look like,
my little early birthday present
to me!

ENJOYED!!!

I'd forgotten what betas were and was thinking of the opposition to VHS for a bit, but decided they had to be some kind of animal, maybe cats. LOL

Tell the little betas I'm awfully sorry to equate them with their arch enemies!


Whether on the shoal or on the shore,
I'll seek the lighthouse evermore.

Cool names.  I used to have a cat named Butler.  Did you know that Betas will take food from your hand once they get used to you?  Great poem, Sunshine.

Karilea, they are very lovely and the poem is great.  I used to have Betas...but, they got this 'ich'..no not 'itch'..I'm sure with you having fish you know what I mean...probably just not sayig it right. But they got these white spots on their pretty colours...and... LOL...oh gee...I am really wandering around tonight.
~hugs, Nancy~  

~I've loved you forever, in lifetimes before.~
