Ok, I've managed to buck up enough courage to post it here (It's already posted in pets) but please be kind to me, I don't like sharing my work as I'm very, very critical about it!

Do You Remember?


Do you remember when I had youth?
The time I lost that baby tooth?
I remember you put it in a wooden box
And labelled it 'First Tooth of Fox'
Why did my first collar go in?
And yet that ham went in the bin??

Do you remember that first time
That I understood I'd committed a crime
You picked up the bread, the meat and cheese
And told me that you were not pleased
I realised then, that I was in trouble
And you bent down to give me a cuddle
I licked your face to apologise
And you looked into my big brown eyes.
You laughed, I smiled
And we were reconciled.

Do you remember I would jump and bounce
And all my energy, every ounce
Was used to run and play and bark
You'd tell me that I must not lark
And I'd laugh and continue my unruly aim
And make your pursuit into a game.

Do you remember when I fetched that ball?
You yelled 'Good boy!!' and stood up tall
Then we rolled around in the grass together
And you said that we'd be friends forever.

Don't forget the promise you made
I may be old now and you're afraid
That one day I won't be around
But you bring me joy as I lose my bound
Sit with me and try to see
What a dog perceives the world to be

I want to be with you to the very end
My special person, my forever friend.

And when I'm gone remember this
I'm in your heart living eternal bliss.

Ah, Lotti, I very nearly shed a tear there.

Why do you need courage ? You should be proud of your work , it's very good
no one in this group should feel it's a competition to write the best work it's not. Now you can post some more.

Lotti wy don't you post this on dogpapes they would love it ?

I dont normally understand poetry, its beyond me but that was bloody good.
Any chance of more like that?

Thanks guys :D

I've got a couple more pre writte and am always working on some so will keep posting.

Amanda - I don't think I have an account on dogpages anymore but have posted it on another dog forum. You can post it if you like?

Why Do I Love You?

Why Do I Love You?

You stole, you barked, you dug the floor
You stole my food, then begged for more
You pushed me as far as you thought I’d go
And then pretended I never said ‘No’

You scratched the walls, and ate the door
You stole my things and thought I never saw
You chased bikes and joggers through the park
And when I said ‘quiet’ you’d just bark.

You were so difficult, such a pain
And they say dogs are easy to train
But tell me one thing,
I need to know

Why do I miss you so??

You were my friend, you loved me true
And I don’t know where I am without you
You would settle down with your head on my knee
And for five minutes we’d live in harmony.

Thers no stopping her now.! I can tell from the poems,how much you love dogs.Thank goodness people are getting more relaxed about the Writers Group.

Thanks Pattricia,

I am currently working on a piece that isn't about dogs believe it or not!
