my Poodle Dog -- a Poem for dVerse Poetics, NaPoWriMo 2024 Day 17 and Friday Writings



[Tree just off our back yard (then) click on picture for larger size viewing]

My Beagle Dog 

You were a puppy 
when we first got you 
You grew fairly fast 
got set in your way  

Chasing squirrels 
you loved to do
Up the trees where 
squirrels were safe 

Walks you hated 
going the worst 
Coming home best 
that you would walk 

You are old now 
and can't respond 
Ashes I'll keep 
bury with me

    What a sweet heartfelt conversation, Jim. Pets really are one of the family. I love your ending.

    Will admit to getting misty-eyed reading your poem. I have lost too many furry friends over the years. Have a wonderful week.
