A bright rectangle of warmth
On an otherwise unbroken
Sea of beige carpet fibers.
In limbo she breathes
........Slow breaths
......Throaty.
Hooded eyes await....
Squeezed shut only
With a long languorous stretch....
Then circling,
until she finds her little nest.
The household makes
All its’ regular sounds,
Lulling......
and, finally casting
Her into oblivion.
She snores
A furry snore,
And dreams.....
Doggy dreams
Ever her only chance
At alpha status.

This is so wonderful. The imagery is great. I can see my dog doing the same thing. And when they dream, oh so cute, legs twitch like chasing a cat.

It's a Dogs World
Nice write smooth and easy to read
and get into the words of your poem.
She snores
A furry snore,
And dreams.....
Doggy dreams
Ever her only chance
At alpha status.

Wow I did not expect much when I clicked, because some of the poems I read recently had been weak but this definetly stood out from the rubish. Beautifully put. I love the plot. Description of a dog full of originality thank you for entering. This was a nice change.
