Missing image

Everyday you are there
I see you but cannot touch
I hear you but cannot speak.

I watch your every move
I long to do things for you
I long to do things with you.

You smile as you go by
You reach out to touch
You ruffle my hair..

I know you feel I am very young
But I cannot help responding to you
Puppy love is painful when you’re a dog!

    Very Nice

    What a simple and sweet poem.The last line is excellent, Love is much more painful when one is not a dog.

      Thanks for your comments Ahkam but surely love can also be much sweeter if one is not a dog? At least one hopes so.

    Do you have a dog? It would seem that you appreciate these animals. At least in passing.
    Interesting and humourous perspective in your write.

    Jim

    • No Jim alas I do not have any pets (or live in animals ) but if I did I would chose a , probably a spaniel.
      Thanks for your appreciation, it's good to know people can appreciate what I try to do.

    Are you a dog lover?

    Regardless,you are a truly empathetic soul. It brings to mind the feelings of devotion,rejection,desperation and loyalty. All words that define a dog.

    • Thanks once again for reading and writing.
      I do like most dogs but my life style doesn't let me commit to one in particular. My schoolboy nickname was "Fred Bassett" after the famous cartoon hound

    hello my dear uncle,

    You know why I clicked on your poem? For it was in "love" category and I didn't remember I had read any love poem of yours! lol...anyway, I enjoyed reading your puppy love poem and oh..yes..of course I loved the photo!
    Wish you luck in the contest.

    • Hi nice niece,
      Yes I'm not a great one for "love" poems but that was what the contest asked for and I enjoyed twisting the tail (of the poem not the ) with this one.
