Strange are my ways

Strange are my ways

I am a strange creature
In grief I laugh
it has to happen
why cry
be happy he/she
passed by

when all enjoy
I cry
no,
the tears are not of sadness
but joy

glad they also laugh
like I do always
else most Humans
I see are humourless

So being a stranger creature
is fun

All out of fear
are on the run
fear I alone shun
beg no pardon

Style / type: 
Free verse

I liks the honesty in this. I know many who laugh when they should cry and vs. My youngest son is most of the times acting like this.

"So being a strange(r) creature
is fun"
a typo maybe?

I really like these lines:

All out of fear
are on the run
fear I alone shun
beg no pardon

apologize to no one for being yourself! :)

do hug all your lovely cats on my behalf
even though I am a dog lover
lost all/many of them small puppies variety

now one is a Golden Retriever
presented to me

my he is so lovingly and big
really loves me

I simply adore him
he nugs me
if he wants anything
and
he knows
he can overpower me

the love our pets bring to us is a precious gift. I love dogs, too. but we have only cats because my husband is a cat lover. if it were up to me alone, we would have both. enjoy your new furry friend :)

*hugs, Cat

Steven, my husband, loves cats because they curl up in his lap and he can contentedly pat them and it is soothing for both. I know, a little dog can sit in your lap, too. but most little dogs are yappers that make a lot of noise. (he calls those ankle biters, lol) he thinks big dogs are too much work, and he doesn't have a lot of spare time. I like big dogs, myself, but I am physically unable to care for one.

*hugs, Cat

p.s.
I love you as a wonderfully creative poet and a good friend!
