A Suri Sonnet

How do I love my suri? Let me count the ways.
I love them for their confirmation and luster,
Shining brightly in all forms of light,
For their gait and lock structure exhibiting ideal Grace.
I love them in the morning and throughout the day
while watching them feed, or standing at full height
I love them running freely, throughout the pasture;
I love them purely, as they stop to graze.
I love them with the passion of their fiber put to use
In my knitting and spinning, the bobbins of yarn fill my lazy kate.
I love them with a joy with each one I choose
To create the foundation of my wonderful herd,
--- I love them for their beauty,
Genetics, and phenotype! --- and, if I choose,
I shall but love them better after I've paid off their debt.

Is it ok to parody a poem if you totally love the poet? I do! I think Elizabeth Barrett Browning was a beautiful writer. I know her Sonnet was about love and so is mine. You see, all my girls are home now. Sugar Breeze, Confetti Reign and Sugar's Sunshine of Wonder are all home at the Wonder Why Alpaca Farm with my other girls, Morning Mist, Midnight Aire and Sprite.

It was a long few months waiting for their pregnancies to be confirmed so they could safely travel home. I haven't spent too much time on the laptop in the last few days because I have been out in the barn or by the pasture watching my gorgeous suri get used to their new home. My beautiful cria, Sunshine is truly a gem and Confetti is....breathtaking. She really is. My Sugar Breeze is phenominal. My girls are home! I can enjoy them in MY pasture now.
