I like to be a puppy
I pretended,
I lived in a dog house
I was a short haired dog
brown spots on my white
I was a Jack Russell
I would run around the house
Having people pet me
I would chase a ball
and I would fall

Nathan, I can see from your author notes and the other comments that you are only eight years old. When I was eight I do not think I could have written a poem as lovely as this because I was too busy playing with my own dog, a border collie. Some of the best fun a child can have is had when they pretend to be other things, like a pirate, superman or in this case, a dog and it shows you have a good imagination which is also a good thing when it comes to writing poetry. Being a dog that can run around free, play ball and get petted is a lovely thing, but if I know dogs then they like a doggy treat to eat too. Thanks for your entry.

That's a cute poem and very good for an eight year old, good luck in the contest. Happy trails from one dog lover to another.

This is a wonderful poem. I have a 3 yesr old grandson that pretends he's a dog too and sometimes he pretends the dog is chasing him around the couch. He runs around it screaming "HELP"!!!
Thanks so much for posting. -
I would love to be a puppy too, or a cat. I used to write stories about doing that in a diary or that my cats could talk and tell me things. The dog you described sounds so cute and fun to be around!

Good Job. It is awsome to see kids your age into more than tv and video games. Keep up the writing :-)

Very cute indeed, Nathan. You have a great imagination. Here's a ball you can play with (throws it to you.)
Good luck in the contest.
