Shimmy

Brown eyes as warm & sweet
As hot liquid caramel

Fur so soft and fuffly

Unforgivably stained so many times

By my wet kisses

 

Crafty at times when

He sees me snacking

Because when I'm not looking

He'll quickly grab a bite

Looking away when I'd

Eye him suspiciously

 

All the times he's been nudging me

With that constanly wet nose of his

Gets me into a laughing fit

Finally being myself completely

 

Tail so eagerly waiting to wag

Tongue so easily popping out of his mouth

When food is around

Head so adorably tilted to one side

When he sees something new

 

Drowned in sadness, I hug him in silence

Tears wetting his perfect fur

& he'll keep completely still

As if reading my weary thoughts

 

& we'll both fall asleep

In each others company

Drifting off to a land of freedom

& doggie treats

Author notes

Love him loads...x

    I have never read a poem so loving about someones dog. I think it's great you have such a close bond with you pup. It is obvious you take good care of him. Lucky puppy.

    The poem itself was really good as well. it flowed nicely and ended well. you really captured this topic well.

    well done, and thanks for entering,

    That is lovely and may you and Shimmy have many years to have fun and trust. People can come and go out of your life but your dog will love you through anything and always be there for you. Sheila
