Welcome Back, Darling Mickeybear!

A villanelle by Marilyn MonREOW

Passed, the days I longed and yearned
Now, no longer must I wait...
Joy: my Mickey has returned!

His much-loved face I now discern
I smile and step a bouncy gait:
Passed, the days I longed and yearned!

Nightly, I sang soft nocturnes
Looking forward to the date
When my Mickey shall return.

My girlcat heart, it daily burned:
Our reunion to anticipate
Passed, the days I longed and yearned!

We reunite, to love and learn
Together, we luxuriate!
Joy: my Mickey has returned.

My ears are high, my whiskers turned
A poem of triumph I create!
Passed, the days I longed and yearned,
Joy: my Mickey has returned.

*~*~*Welcome back*~*~*, my darling dear! I missed you with all my heart.

I am continuing to hope and purr for precious Ana to arrive safely home.
